Today's post is going to be rather short, as I'm strapped for time.
The first song I'm going to post today will be the song Mykel & Carli. It's a song written for the creators of the Weezer fan club, Mykel and Carli Allan. Unfortunately, they died four years after the song was written, in a car crash with their sister. The irony is in the fact that they were driving back from a Weezer concert. I found this b-side on the Deluxe Edition of the Blue Album, which just happens to be my favorite album.

I really enjoyed this Big Star song when I first heard it, some two years ago. For some reason, I had the idea in my head that Elliott Smith could do an awesome cover of this song, if it weren't for his death. Then, a year later, I stumbled across this version by accident and found it ludicrously hilarious. I know, it's not that funny. It's a good cover, none the less.

My sister received a Who's Greatest Hits for Christmas last year (coincidentally, I gave it to her) and has been in love with the Who ever since. I had sort of forgotten about this track, as it has been a while since I've heard Tommy, and when she purchased the album, I fell in love with it all over again. It's short and sweet and reminds me why I love Pete Townshend.
