“Flume” by Bon Iver-live at Myspace Transmissions

We brought you Bon Iver’s performance of “Skinny Love” a few months ago.  Here’s another beautiful performance from Bon Iver.  Simple arrangement and wonderful harmonies as he performs “Flume” for MySpace Transmissions Studio.

“Hit Me Baby One More Time” sounds great when covered by Travis

Scottish band Travis makes this Britney Spears song not suck.  Find out more about Travis at their official website.

“Sexual Healing” as covered by Ben Harper

Most people shouldn’t cover Marvin Gaye.  Ben Harper, however, is not one of those people that is prohibited from such covers.  Check out Harper’s version of Marvin Gaye’s classic “Sexual Healing.”

“Mario Kart Love Song” by Sam Hart

At first glance, I figured this would have some funny lyrics, but would be musically quite weak.  I was pleasantly surprised by the music.  The artist, Sam Hart, crafts a very nice song about Mario Kart, one of my favorite video games.

You can check out more of Sam’s videos at his YouTube channel.

When holding a guitar, evaluate your options on how to deal with a heckler.

There’s reasoning with the heckler, ignoring him, or……….

“One Semester of Spanish”-a love song

Funny.  Sent in by Marta, a proud Puerto-Rican woman, whose keen mind would not only see through a clown like this, but also leave him crying in both english and spanish.

“Skinny Love” by Bon Iver

A performance of “Skinny Love” from the album For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver, the performance name of Justin Vernon. Vernon wrote the album while retreating into the northwestern Wisconsin wilderness following the breakup of his long-time band. Give For Emma, Forever Ago a listen to. It’s a rare album in many ways, but particularly in its cohesiveness. You might find yourself hoping Bon Iver suffers another personal or professional setback so he’ll again produce a beautiful record like this one. You don’t need to feel guilty if that’s the case.

Ck. out more at Bon Iver’s official website or his MySpace page.

“If a Song Could Get Me You” by Marit Larsen

Pretty Feist-like. Nice folk-pop with a simple yet interesting video. I like the indie-film feel of it. Check out more at her official website.

Hank Williams’ “Ramblin’ Man” Set to an Animated Short-Film

Classic song.  The short, about a cowboy robot was directed by Aaron Augenblick with animation by David Vandervoort.  I wonder what Hank would think about this?  I think it works.
