First up, Dallas' promising indie pop band
The Chemistry Set did "Born in Bloom" from their recent album
Blue Monsters (
online). Then Michigan's indie staple
Saturday Looks Good to Me has released an enormous 30 track collection of old tracks and demos and stuff (priced to own at just $9.99 in iTunes) called
Sound On Sound (
iTunes,
Amazon). From that hit-or-miss record we heard "Parking Lot Blues." Next Germany's
Klee did one of their few english versions of their songs "This Is for Everyone" from their new album
Honeysuckle (
iTunes,
Amazon - preorder). And finally the quality bluegrass band
Iron Horse did an awesome version of
Modest Mouse' "Polar Opposites" from an equally awesome album comprised entire of humble rodent covers,
Pickin' on Modest Mouse: A Bluegrass Tribute (
Amazon). An above average contribution to the long-running, prolific
Pickin' on... series.
