Finally finishing up the list of music that was played in the background during the cocktail and dinner portion of my wedding. As always, enjoy the music. If you're interested in the rest of the list click here . mp3 : The Ooks of Hazzard - Kids (MGMT Cover) mp3 : Beirut - After the Curtain mp3 : Bon Iver - Skinny Love mp3 : Coldplay - The Scientist + more music @ twf [...]
The Ooks of Hazzard offer ukelele covers of Prince, Radiohead, MGMT, and Led Zeppelin in a new mini-documentary.
And so the Wedding Music posts continue (with plenty more to come). After this volume the rest of the music is pretty much a mix tape filled with awesome. During the ceremony we linked together songs that all had a similar tone and vibe and built upon the theme of a traditional yet contemporary ceremony. Hence the use of Vitamin String Quartet and other modern acts. In this final Ceremony volume there are four tracks that were played while the guests were being dismissed from the church. We probably could have added another track into this time, but [...]

As it's Friday I thought I'd post a couple of covers to keep you entertained. Two of them were sent to me by Schonberg, ocassional writer (hint, hint) for What's Wrong With The Mainstream. I'd been singing the lyrics for the first one without knowing what song it was and then out of nowhere Schonberg's CD pops up and has it on. The second track I got from The World Forgot wrote about back in April. The third track is cause we all like a sing-along every now and then, after all what's wrong with the mainstream? [...]
Train: Holy shiza, you guys looked amped Axel! Axel: Train my man, summer is here, Rosewood and I are heading to a sweet pool party in a few - what isn't there to to be happy about? Train: I respect the enthusiasm...maybe you can throw some of the cover songs onto the ...
Die Ukulele, laut SpOn das Trend-Instrument überhaupt , trifft den Hit des Jahres 2008. The Ooks Of Hazzard - Kids (via electru , schon ein paar tage alt)
So I finally figured out how to hear MGMT songs without cringing uncontrollably: get seven ukeleles to play the songs. The Ooks of Hazzard remind me of the time when I was 6 and my mom took me deep in the hills and hollers of Lewis County, Ky., to see that part of the family. You know, that part. The balogna cake eaters. This is pretty much identical, but replace the ukeleles with outdoor bathrooms. The Ooks of Hazzard - [...]
My favorite discovery of the past week would have to be a brand new folk group called The Ooks of Hazzard. They are brand new and as far as I know only have one song, but I absolutely love them and can't wait to hear more. Their first song is a video of the group performing the uber catchy MGMT hit, "Kids." When I first saw them all lined up with just a bunch of ukuleles, an accordian, and a cajón drum, I had no idea how they were goin to pull off the best electronic-dance hit of 2008. But [...]
For those of you who frequent these pages you'll notice something odd about this post. I literally never post videos, ever. But this cover of Kids by MGMT was moving enough and the filming is interesting enough that I thought today I would make an exception. Honestly, there are 7 ukuleles rocking out on this cover. How could I refuse to post this video? And for those that just want the music, here you go. mp3: The Ooks of Hazzard - Kids (MGMT Cover) + [...]
