I'm dedicating this week's SMD to our soon to be President Obama. I've been following Obama ever since I read his breathtaking book "Dreams from my Father" my senior year of high school. Finally, this race has nearly reached its end; on Tuesday, we will know who the new leader of the free world will be. (did anyone else see that hilarios bit from the Colbert report on Thursday where Stephen's logic defied him and led us to Senator McCain and PRESIDENT OBAMA? haha priceless.)
Ben Sollee - A Change is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke cover) [mp3]
this is the best cover of this song that I've ever heard. Ben Sollee is a FANTASTIC musician from Kentucky, and his cello playing skills are superb. he is actually on tour right now, visit his MYSPACE for more information. I'm going to see him at Cafe Du Nord in a couple of weeks =)
The New Pornographers - The Laws Have Changed [mp3]
TNP are always loads of fun. their music is upbeat and addictive.
The Flaming Lips - Suddenly Everything Has Changed [mp3]
people often brush off this band as crazy or psychedelic or whatnot and overlook the fact that they produce really beautiful, well crafted songs. Wayne Coyne has the voice of an angel. a slightly demented angel, but an angel nonetheless.
John Mayer - Waiting on the World to Change [mp3]
this one speaks for itself. well don't you worry John, the change is here to stay
Jamie Cullum - 7 Days to Change Your Life [mp3]
it's actually 3 days, thank goodness. I love Jamie's newer record because it shows his brilliance as a songwriter. his first record had a lot of covers; he really shines on "Catching Tales"
The Killers - Change Your Mind [mp3]
probably the most underrated and under-listened to Killers song of all time. it's a fantastic tune.
