In the Covers #1

Each week or so I'm going to try and post a great cover that I've been listening to. Why? Because it's gimmicky and I like covers. So without further ado, I present the first of many.



Let's face it: the most recent Strokes album, First Impressions of Earth, sucked. After one or two listens, this polished turd was cast aside faster than Helen Keller at a baseball game. Luckily, we have Lightspeed Champion to make it all better. Formerly of the Test Icicles, Devonte Hynes is now working as a solo act under the name Lightspeed Champion. His only album, Falling Off the Lavender Bridge, is a great musical endeavor, provided you give it a chance and get adjusted to the type of music it is. He also managed to record this live performance of "Heart in a Cage", one of the only decent songs from the aforementioned crap croissant. Enjoy.
