Sorry I haven't been around...

I've been pretty busy this week, so I haven't been able to post much, so to make up for it, here's a nice big MP3 post with stuff I've been into this week.

First up, is the Weeds theme song by Jenny Lewis featuring her bf Jonathan Rice. I don't really follow the show, (I don't get Showtime), but their version is too cute to pass up.

Next up we have Owen. This is the name under which Mike Kinsella (of American Football, Cap'n Jazz and Joan of Arc) currently performs. I have been a fan of his other bands for a while now, but never gave his solo stuff much of a listen. This weekend I cam across this song, and I'm in love. It's all slow and acoustic and sometimes whiny, and can sounds a lot like a Dashboard Confessional, but with the clever lyrics (and Kinsella's indie cred), you won't be embarrassed if you're caught listening.

Finally, I admit, I have a soft spot for covers. I like hearing my favorites in a different way, even if it's awful. The first cover is a cover of Architecture in Helsinki's Heart it Races by Dr. Dog. This is one case where I'm not even sure if I like the original or the cover better. There's a few more covers I found this weekend, including a decent cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart by Jose Gonzales, and a not so good Smiths cover by Nada Surf.
