I may have mentioned it before but I love me a good cover song (and cue my musical obsession with Boyce Avenue and Phillip Phillips on American Idol).
With that said, there is this unbelievably talented singer/songwriter by the name of Noah who has taken the viral video world by storm with his crazy amazing cover of a LMFAO song.
Really LMFAO never sounded so good. He's been featured everywhere over the last week: Huffington Post, the Today Show and countless music blogs.
So my new favourite, can't-stop-listening-to-it album is 'Kill Yourself For Change' by the Brooklyn indie rock band Brigg Fair.
I love this album and this band x1000.
“Kill Yourself For Change” was recorded primarily in upstate New York by British Producer, Iestyn Polson (David Bowie, Patti Smith). Lead boy Geoff Ereth met Polson by chance at a Polish doughnut bakery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which subsequently led to an agreement to make the debut record together.
I love a good cover song I do...and one of the bands that consistently put out amazing covers is the band Boyce Avenue (@BoyceAvenue).
Really most of the time you end up liking their version better than the original.
Thanks to @MikeMachargo (fellow Boyce Avenue fan) for sharing this one with me this morning on Twitter...
Later this year, Stone Temple Pilots will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Core, by playing the album in its entirety during their tour that kicks off on September 1st.
Yes. Twenty years. Crazzzzzyyyy right?
I'm pretty sure my screams of delight could be heard all over the surrounding suburbs when I found out that David Gray was coming to Ottawa for Bluesfest on July 6th. I loveth this singer/songwriter I do. Like a lot. A lot.
So it was fitting that I did a little walk down blog memory lane and re-post a blog that I wrote about my very first David Gray concert experience. It was as the kids say - EPIC.

LETTERIST a group of three young musicians that have created the perfect blend of electro-synthpop and dance rock.
The Backstreet Boys are celebrating 19 years in the music biz...crazy right?
Today one of the trending hashtags on Twitter is #BSB19thAnniversary—it's all about sharing the BSB love and memories.
When the boys first came out I was...let's do the math...I was 20. Eeeek. Seriously where does the time go? And in a shocking development I was crushing on AJ. It's the bad boy thing—what can I say? He was my Donnie Wahlberg for that boy band. Hey at least I'm consistent damn it!
Today on the Bsides, we spotlight a new band hailing from Canada, by the name of Cygnets.
Having shared the stage with acts, such as You Say Party! We Say Die! and Shout Out Out Out Out, they are definitely a group that has been drawing attention.
So, apparently March is the month for vasectomies.
Really. I've heard more about vasectomies in the last few weeks than I have all year. With that said, I've had friends, YMC readers, and Twitter followers ask me about the Songs for A Vasectomy playlist I did two years ago.
So, here's a re-post of that blog I did on June 10, 2010. Because every event in life needs a playlist. Power to the bag of frozen peas.

So, I'm still not even remotely tired of Gavin DeGraw's "Not Over You" single yet (really, if you haven't heard it, go forth and download from iTunes immediately!), but I must say that I have become completely obsessed with his new single, "Sweeter."
So damn sexy sounding. I've had it on repeat for the last, oh let's see, three hours. True story.

Consuelo Bernardi is a 30-something mummy of two. She can't play an instrument or sing a tune in key but is still obsessed with music. After a five year hiatus from the radio business she's back on the air doing weekends on Majic 100, Today's Soft Rock in Ottawa.
Still she always found the time to listen to music and make it a huge part of her life. She has more CDs than she cares to count and her monthly downloading bill for her iPod? Don’t even go there. Music truly is food for her soul. Plus secretly she’s always wanted to be a wannabe rock star...a girl can dream.
So take a minute from your day and crank up the volume. Motherhood isn't always pretty but at least your music will be hot.
