Yo! Check out this totally pro New Jersey video (propaganda? jokes!) from rockers Titus Andronicus. You must see this band live! They bring a genuine energy that is rare in modern rock bands. You can read my review of their DC show here and check out tour dates here. Enjoy!

If you’ve heard either of these bands before, you probably would’ve never seen this cover coming. Australia-based Architecture In Helsinki’s catchy & unique, upbeat electronic music is quite different from Dr. Dog’s Americana-washed, folk-rock goodness. But that’s what makes this cover so great. AIH’s “Heart It Races,” track 2 on 2007’s Places Like These, has this tropical/tribal sound to it, the only song like it on the album. Dr. Dog throws in their twangy guitars & keys to give the song a much more organic, jam-like feel. Both versions are excellent, hope you enjoy them!
