reminiscing the death of Mixtapes in Grayscale

Throwback Thursdays… A great way to remind everyone that although you may be sitting in your cubicle at your horrible job, bossman yelling at you over the useless tasks that will never be used, you’re eating the horrible salad you made at home that morning in the dark because no one can afford Sweetgreen, and you haven’t shaved in days (legs or face) because, well, why? what do I have to look forward to?; you ARE indeed FUN and COOL and #blessed and hey!, why not remind everyone online that I took that vacation that one time! Kk let’s scroll through the 800 pics I took that weekend two Februaries ago…. change the filter… aaaand POST! Fewf… for a minute there the internet may have forgotten about me!! #I’mHereToo. So that we don’t forget anything ever again, we can reminisce on loves lost through a band taken from us too early: Mixtapes. The Cincinnati foursome (2009-2014) did some good things with guy/girl vocals, and she even became “Pink Intruder” for the esteemed Masked Intruder. Aiding our throwing back to memories of yesteryear is Grayscale (and dope Philly band & thankfully still around), with a much needed covering of a Barenaked Ladies track (they might as well be broken up, let’s be real, it was all downhill after “One Week”) looking back at his old apartment.

“Why did they change the locks? Why did I have to break in? I only came here to talk.“

All We Are – I Wear You (Years & Years Cover)

Chelsea — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 21:19:34 +0000

As the winter quickly approaches, we’re reaching out for our warm blankets, finding a cozy spot near the fireplace, and searching for a “mmmm” kind of song that can best set the scene.

Lucky for us, London-based trio, Years & Years, reworked All We Are’s “I Wear You” and transformed the song into a stunning, powerful track that is mellow, warming, and perfect for a cold night, or any night for that matter.

The original track has been stripped entirely – this cover is led by a sweet piano ballad and continues with a mysterious and echoing feel through ambient synths. The beautiful vocals of lead singer, Olly Alexander, help to make this track as wonderful as it is. Take a listen below.

Arctic Monkeys — Do I Wanna Know? (CHVRCHES cover)

Chris — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 01:57:13 +0000

As if CHVRCHES hadn’t given us 15 really great reasons to love them in 2013, they start of 2014 with this epic cover of Do I Wanna Know? It stays true to the original while adding their own personal style. From the brighter sound of Lauren Mayberry’s voice to the unexpected duet that breaks out, this one is intriguing at first but slowly evolves into an irresistible opener to every playlist. I can only hope they break this out at their Coachella set.

Yumi Zouma – It Feels Good To Be Around You (feat. Air France)

To be honest, the first time I heard about Yumi Zouma was when Jack Tatum lent his skills to remixing their song, “A Long Walk Home For Parted Lovers.” Well, now, the New Zealand artist is back with a pretty interesting spin on the ol’ cover. 2 years to the day that Air France broke up, Yumi Zouma has released a cover of their last single, “It Feels Good To Be Around You.” Not only is the song an atmospheric toast to the French duo, but it also features them in spoken-word talking about their breakup with some pretty memorable lines. Listen below.
