- Have a listen to "Hang Them All" from Tapes 'n Tapes' upcoming album, Walk It Off out April 8th. I saw it first on MOKB, but saw it on numerous other blogs as well. They kick off their North American tour a few days after the release.

- Same blog, different post. Kate Nash covers the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" and just like Mikey, I like it. Kind of puts a different spin on the track.

- More news on covers. Music for Kids has a handful of mp3s posted on Brits covering Brits. Artic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Kaiser Chiefs, and the Klaxons just to name a few.

- And more covers. The Klaxons covering "No Diggity"? No that's not a typo. Have a listen courtesy of You Ain't No Picasso - not half bad.

Hooray Saturday morning!

Had to cut it off last night because I could barely keep my eyes open. More to report though, so enjoy the double-shot this week...

- Okkervil River released Golden Opportunities, an album of live covers that is only available for download on their website. Thanks to Metro D for dropping the K.

- Artic Monkeys covered Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" and it's over on Let's Sexy Fighting. Not bad.

- Word is that Coachella (the west coast version) will announce this year's lineup on Monday. I'd assume it would be done through it's website.
