Misery [Maroon 5] - Matthew Jordan

I received an email from a blog-stumbler-uponner that suggested I look into this video. I was definitely not disappointed! The cover is of the new single from Maroon 5 - Misery. Matthew Jordan goes beyond just covering the song -- he put together a music video for it! It is quite well done, and certainly one of the best video covers I have seen. Please watch and enjoy! Thanks again, blog-stumbler!

Monday Morning Piano Moment: My Chemical Romance - Cancer

This is a great song with a great message. I am glad that My Chemical Romance wrote a song like this. It is a nice departure from some of their other music (which I also like). Their live shows are apparently very good. They have a distinct image that brands them (hence the face-paint in this video).

Breaking the Girl [Red Hot Chili Peppers] - Tristan Clopet

Love this song! It is one of the fewer-played RHCP songs. This version does justice to an under-appreciated song. Thanks for sharing Tristan. Oh, for more info about this artist, www.tristanclopet.com

Guitar Thrill Thursday: 38 Years Old - The Tragically Hip

One of the most popular bands in Canada, The Tragically Hip has proven to be an awesome force in my appreciation of rock music. They are underappreciated in the U.S. Hopefully, a taste of this song will help you all get to know them. Guitarist Rob Baker has an original style that makes my fingers feel like feathers in a funnel. Anyway, enjoy the solo at the end of this song. He uses a slide for the whole thing and plays a PRS—a winner in my book.

Delicate [Damien Rice] - Shagpile

Shagpile. You heard me right. And if you heard Shagpile right, you know that he is a great singer that has chosen to share some of his favorite songs in cover versions! Hope you enjoy Delicate by Damien Rice, one of my favorites by Damien.

Monday Morning Piano Moment: Coldplay - The Scientist

Yup, this is the first song that I heard by Coldplay. Still one of my favorites. It is beautiful and meaningful. I hope that you enjoy this morning’s piano moment.

Guitar Thrill Thursday: Lady Picture Show - Stone Temple Pilots

I love this band. Lady Picture Show is a nice, slower tune with a great guitar solo. Enjoy the wondrous sounds of a band from which we didn’t get to hear enough, although I did enjoy their new album.
