Songs You Should Be Listening To

Holy crap it's been a shit long time since I've posted/wanted to post anything at all. But this is just too damn awesome to pass up. I'm sure you know these crazy bastards. And their crazy awesomeness.
Well, the kindly folks over at You Ain't No Picasso, a pretty bad ass indie music blog, if you're into that sort of thing....
They've compiled a whole buttload of Of Montreal cover songs. And I mean...a whole buttload. Apparently he scoured the forums of the E6 Townhall which is, for the uninitiated, a sort-of posthumous tribute to the Elephant 6 record company and the bands it housed. (If unfamiliar with E6 please see this.) It's a pretty cool place where you can find a lot of rare bootlegs and info on some pretty sweet bands (Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, The Apples in Stereo). Anyone can join, so if you have an overt love of weird underground 90s shit, check it out here.
Anyway, back to Of Montreal. I'm pretty sure this is every song they have ever covered, which includes several David Bowie tunes, some Rolling Stones, Prince, etc. Just a crazy array of stuff, spanning the length of the entire musical spectrum.
So, without further ado....
THE AMAZING OF MONTREAL COVER SONG ARCHIVE OF AMAZING WONDERMENT !
And to pique your interests, a small sample.....
Yield to the future!
I'm sure all you MOGgers out there are at least vaguely familiar with the music magazine Paste. With its indie music consciousness, smart design, and free sampler CD with each issue, it's easily in the very top tier of musical periodicals.
But, at a staggering $34.95 for a year's subscription, it is quite steeply priced. And that's probably the only turn off for most would-be subscribers. (I know that's the exact reason I didn't subscribe immediately.)
But, in light of Radiohead's recent, shall we say...entrepreneurial endeavor, Paste has been inclined to follow in their footsteps.
So right now, you can subscribe to Paste magazine for any fucking price you want. That's right. ANY PRICE . Two bucks. Three. 28. Whatever it's worth to you, is what you pay. Also, it's not limited to new subscribers. Current subscribers can renew their shit as well, for absolutely any price they want.
There is one catch, though.
You have to pay at least a dollar for it.
I mean, even if you are a cheap-ass bastard, one dollar for 11 issues of a highly acclaimed publication and 11 sampler CDs is a steal of a deal even the most shrewd bargain hunter can't pass up.
So my advice to you, is to get your drooling ass over to Paste's website, and drop your dollars on a subscription.
I seriously doubt they'll be wasted.
You'll just be a little...Pasted?
No? Maybe?

Alright brother, each time I click on the alleged web-link, it brings me back here.
What's up with that?
Who knew Neil Diamond was such a cool cat?
I guess 1968 was just a weird year for everybody.
