Who wants to write a Valedictorian speech? No one!

Hello everyone, and welcome to a very bland Tuesday night here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. As you may have noticed, I'm not having the best night. If you'd like to know why, I suggest you inspect the title of today's post. What's that you say? You've figured it out? Congratulations, you are correct. The reason that my night isn't going so well, is because I have to write a Valedictorian speech. I don't want to write a Valedictorian speech, and I sure as hell don't want to be Valedictorian. Alas, the things a man will do, so that his mother rents him a tuxedo. By the way, this has nothing to do with today's post.

The Mighty Of Montreal Cover Post - Post (A la You Ain't No Picasso)

Of Montreal, a spectacular band in their own right, sure can cover a song. Not just a song, either, 60 songs to be exact. If you know anything about Of Montreal, or anything about You Ain't No Picasso, then you know that Of Montreal are quite famous for their covers. They've put many covers to shame, playing songs by a multitude of artists, ranging from The Who to Peaches, from David Bowie to M.I.A. So, let's explore a couple songs from their live covers archive.

By the way, you can find a complete download of all 60 recorded Of Montreal covers at this site.

Starman / Hang Onto Yourself [Live, 11 May 2007 Freiburg] - Of Montreal (David Bowie)

Harvest Moon - Of Montreal (Neil Young)

Crazy - Of Montreal (Gnarls Barkley)

Jumping Someone Else's Train - Of Montreal (The Cure) This song is for Joseph, who is celebrating his 13th birthday tomorrow. He will be writing the post in honor of that special occasion .

And lastly...

More Than A Feeling - Of Montreal (Boston)

Thanks for reading.

Til' Tomorrow (Or two days, since Joseph is posting tomorrow)

The hand of your lover is made of clay

Well, Random Music days are usually not tough posts to write, as I just pull songs off my itunes and write about them like delicate muses. Today though, while walking my dog, I felt I was fully embracing the new found springtime, so I thought that today I'd post a couple songs that were based around the idea of change, spring and the sun. So, be entertained this incredibly corny mix of songs and if you enjoyed a particular song, please feel free to let me know in the comment section.

Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice (Mini) Mixtape #2: Shit that has to do with spring

Green Green Grass (Demo) - American Analog Set
I swear, I'll stop posting American Analog Set for a while!

Green Grass - Tom Waits
When most people think of Tom Waits, they don't think of spring. I, on the other hand, beg to differ.

New Slang - The Shins
The Shins are my bouncing around the park band, my long car ride with the windows open band (Did I actually write this? Answer: Sadly, yes.) and if weren't for fucking Natalie Portman I wouldn't have anybody rolling their eyes for me having posted this song.

A New Name For Everything - The Weakerthans
John K. Samson (the front man of the Weakerthans) is one of my favorite Canadian poets, actually scratch that, one of my favorite poets period, and a damn fine musician as well. The Weakerthans are a band that puts out consistently great material and tour extensively to boot. I highly recommend buying their entire discography right at this very moment.

Here Comes The Sun/The Inner Light [Transition] - The Beatles
Yeah, I posted it. What're you going to do about it?

Forecast Fascist Future - Of Montreal
Why? Why not.

Hey!? That wasn't much of a Mixtape.

Enjoy
