Cover: “Cry Me a River”

I prefer covers of “Cry Me a River” to the JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE original. My favorite one was by LOSTPROPHETS, until I stumbled onto THIEF‘s cover. If Jerry Maguire had Dorothy Boyd at “hello”, then THIEF had me at steel drums.

Listen … Continue reading Track of the Day: “One” by Circle

Eargasm of the Week: “You Look So Good to Me” by Thief

Holy freaking moly…have you ever just heard a song and just said “whoa”? Like Joey Lawrence “whoa”? That’s the exact statement that came out of my mouth. “WHOA.” I stumbled onto THIEF when fellow musician LANKS tweeted about this song. What I dig about the song is that it starts out with minimal music. Just a beat and a synthetic sound and then the real beat … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “You Look So Good to Me” by Thief
