paper bag records are about to turn seven. they’re more generous than i was at that age… giving presents out rather than shoveling them in. check their new covers comp the seven year itch for free here.

quick update: i want to highlight rock plaza central’s cover of “i want you”. it’s a fleeting moment towards the song’s end, when the singer subverts the established melody and substitutes that from the lyrically similar refrain of the beatles’ “i want you (she’s so heavy)”… both totally unexpected and absolutely perfect.
