I am here to apologize for slightly detracting from your concert experience all year long. Why? I take photos at shows. I know it can be annoying.

Look + Listen: Ghost Animal @ Glasslands Downloadable: Tired (A Ceremony) [...]

Universal Electricity pays homage to Young with a compilation of indie artists covering his songs. Some of these covers are pretty out there and others are, well let's just say my taste. The one that sticks out to me is the cover teen Daze did called "Harvest Moon" As soonI heard the first few seconds it caught my attention, the modern electronic lounge beat they use is addicting. Teen Daze-Harvest Moon (Neil Young cover) Headed for the Ditch Tracklist: [...]

I got an email from Matt over at Everybody Taste about this compilation yesterday, and, being the idiot I am, I slept on it at the time. Seriously, who sees the words "Teen Daze covers Neil Young" and doesn't immediately click download? Well I downloaded it today and after one listen to Ghost Animal's cover of "Helpless", I declared this a Must Listen. Just LOOK at this star-studded line-up: 1. Lost Boy? - "Hey Babe (Butchered Version)" 2. Fossil Cities - "After The Gold Rush" 3. Quilt - "Sugar Mountain" [...]
