1. Mandy Moore -- Umbrella Mandy Moore's cover of Rihanna, from the Pepsi and Yahoo concert (which I believe was shown online, and not available to purchase). Buy Coverage . 2. Johnny Cash -- I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Cash's cover of the Hank Williams classic; I'm not sure what else needs to be said. Buy American IV . 3. Barenaked Ladies -- Lovers in a Dangerous Time A cover of the Bruce Cockburn song. I love the original, [...]

Terius Nash aka " The-Dream " and Tricky Stewart co-wrote Umbrella and supposedly put it on hold for Britney Spears. Spears passed on the song, instead opting for Me Against The Music , and during a session with Rihanna , the Bahama Mama snatched it up and made it the mega-hit of the Summer. According to The-Dream, Umbrella was written in just twelve minutes. [...]
I'm never ashamed to admit that I love Mandy Moore, so hearing that she was going to guest star in one of my favorite current sitcoms, How I Met Your Mother , was fantastic news. A bit of a side note, but one day I was perusing the TV and ended up watching an Oxygen special on Miss Moore and it made me love her even, well, more. She's making smart decisions about how she's going about her life and I can admire that. Look at the other pop stars of her time and where they are. Mmhmm. [...]

This is a mix of songs that are the last cut on albums released in 2007 by ladies. Of course, you could probably ascertain that from the title. Just call me The Duke of Redundancy. 1. Adrienne Young ~ Happy Ending 2. Clara Moreno ~ Tenderly 3. Feist ~ How My Heart Behaves 4. Bebel Gilberto ~ Words 5. Patty Griffin ~ Crying Over 6. Eleni Mandell ~ Miss Me [...]

When an artist decide to cover a recently ubiquitous smash hit, their reason behind it might be one of the following three: 1. Their new album doesn't sell quite well enough, so a cover done right may help regenerate buzz and interest. 2. They're fresh on the scene, having come from out of nowhere. If they get lucky, they may get signed because of the amazing job they've done on the cover. If they're already attached to a label, then it will cut some time on the marketing process. The problem here is if their own stuff isn't [...]
This post is for mt since she's been hounding us about this girl. We saw her open for Castledoor a few months ago but we know friends have been scouting Marié Digby for a few years since she won that Pantene contest. Apparently now she's getting tons of buzz with these Lonelygirl15-esque YouTube videos and appears to be managed by a team with some serious marketing savvy with street teams, fan

I haven't written a cover controversy entry since the beginning of June, maybe because I haven't been hit with any extraordinarily good or mind-numbingly bad covers in the last few months. Well, this morning I woke from my cover slumber because someone sent me a note that Mandy Moore had recently covered Rihanna's 'Umbrella'. This could have worked. After all, the ironic indie/acoustic cover of a Top 40 hit isn't anything new. Remember Travis' hilarious take on Britney's 'Hit Me One More Time'? Or Fountains of Wayne's more polished spin on the same track? Even The [...]

Notes on New Yorker Poetry in Light of All This Breast Cancer Awareness by William Hubbard Everything in the New Yorker is pink. A pink devoid of any symbolism, but still a very distinct pink, meaning it has a color. By which I mean it has a flavor, too, and a scent, a lovely one. Even the font does not change. Such a pink magazine has mostly articles. They are funny and vibrant, intelligent in a most acceptable way. I would call it [...]

"I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery." Mandy Moore ~ Extraordinary from Wild Hope by Mandy Moore
Κοίταζα τις πρόχειρες εγγραφές όπου προγραμματίζω τα επιθυμητά κομμάτια που θέλω να βάλω στα posts μου και είδα ότι είχα αρκετά που δεν κατάφερα να χωρέσω σε κανένα από τα φετινά posts. Γιατί να περιμένουν και άλλο? Ορίστε λοιπόν.. ::updated :: Mount Sims - How We Do Mandy Moore - Someday We'll Know (Cover New Radicals) Metallica & G.W.Bush - Don't Tread On Me (WTC Mix) [...]
Okay, so before you smack me for being totally pop-culture obsessed, this does have some relevance to all you indie hipsters out there. Kinda. Okay, just a little. Deal. I'm not afraid to admit I really like Mandy Moore. Out of all those bubble gum pop princesses of yesteryear, Moore seemed to have the most promise. She wasn't getting dirrrty or knocked up, she chose clothes and some pretty quality films to keep her busy. And now?? She's getting indie. MTV (shocker) reports that Mandy's next album, out in April [...]
Everything is going my way. From the outside it looks like a game of compromise, but it's not some huge deal. After all, it was only a kiss. The above picture is from Coverage at the Anonymous blog. Drop The Pilot was written by Joan Armatrading . Joan Armatrading ~ Drop The Pilot [...]

While every other blog is posting about Christina Aguilera, what early 1999 teen queen am I going to write about? Mandy Moore. I don't closely follow Mandy Moore, nor do I own all of her albums, so this is more an excuse to post several songs that I like, that all happen to be by Mandy, than it is a summary of all the things she's done. I do like what I've heard of her work, but for some reason I've never gotten around to searching out more. Candy --well, I couldn't [...]
Let's hope the decision by Mandy Moore to evict her own parents isn't the sort of choice which comes back round to bite you at some sort in the future. We understand that pa and ma Moore aren't exactly enfeebled right now, so it's not exactly granny dumping , but it's still an attitude cold enough you could serve vodka out the back of it: “My parents moved in with me, I’m very close with my family. “But the time came when I actually had to kick my parents out - because it’s [...]
