Under Pressure

In 2002, Second Nature Recordings released a split EP with members of Small Brown Bike and the Casket Lottery. On it, there is a cover of the Queen with David Bowie classic, "Under Pressure." Great cover even though it's not that much different from the original. This makes me think about some of my other favorite covers (like "Walk On By" by the Stranglers).

The Good Show recently had a show completely dedicated to cover songs. Nice batch of tunes always played on the good ol' college radio station on Sunday nights.

The Good Life have two releases out this year on Saddle Creek: the Lovers Need Lawyers EP and Album of the Year album. Album of the Year is not a complete replication of Faith No More's Album of the Year. Two totally different albums.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
