Track:
We have a new tradition here at our house on Sunday night, Michelle invites her friend Wendy over, we cook dinner and watch True Blood.

After I kept on raving about it, one day while I was at work, Michelle and Wendy got hooked watching True Blood ondemand. So now we watch it, kind of like a viewing party...

Track:Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground (White Stripes cover)
Our friends at to die by your side have posted yet another rare cover on their stellar music blog. This time Chan Marshall is doing a low key rendition of The White Stripes' Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. There's something about Marshall's low and sultry vocal delivery that sends shivers of excitement down my spine.

Track:Song To Bobby
MOGstars 7/10Cover albums are a delicate thing. They can be like Bowie's Pin-Ups and provide stimulating reworkings of well-loved tracks, or they can plumb the depths of Duran Duran's Thank You and border on Shatner-esque hilarity, or they can just sink into oblivion. Luckily, Chan Marshall has already navigated this minefield once. 2000’s imaginatively titled The Covers Album saw her knock dow.

I just saw a scene from an up and coming film Powder Blue with Jessica Biel. She stars as an exotic dancer who peforms to Werewolf by Cat Power. Werewolf is a unique choice for a song to strip to. The scene in question can be found online. It is powerful and distrurbing. I saw it as Biel's character taking a stand with her sensuality from the chaos in her life on the stage. As her routine conti...

Track:Dark End of the Street (live on KCRW)
I had a dream that featured this song as a soundtrack. I saw her there a former flame whom I hadn't seen in ages. I was waiting for her in front of this club for what seems like hours. I remember it being really cold outside as it was very windy and Chicago like. She finally shows up and she looks so much different, as if I didn't recognize her. That's when she blurts out, "We're moving to Seat...
