remember ben lee? that lovely australian man who used to date claire danes..
he is one of the many who have covered mgmt since their debut. i just ran across his cover of "kids" on hype machine and i kinda like it...whaddya think?
[click here to listen to the song]
i'd become ultra tired of mgmt after i heard them in virtually every place i went in portland last year. i loved the record when it was given to me in early 2008 and went to see them play soon after with yeasayer at a teeny venue down the street. let's just say the opener, yeasayer, blew the management out of the water.

i took a break from them following that... but this cover reminded me that it was a good song and a good record and i hope they've dropped the uber-hipster persona since then and now know that it's perfectly cool to put on a show that makes the hipsters want to dance.

what kind of rock show makes you just feel like *standing there* anyway?
some other tunes i like and recommend..
*phoenix doing an air cover (remember virgin suicides?)*
*situationists cover daft punk*
*santogold and jay-z do bro-ok-lyn, come again*

HypeMachine is incredible. I am not sure what I have done without it up until now!
