Patrick's Tumblog
I’m kind of considering starting a blog wherein I cover various (ridiculous?) pop songs.

Yes? Maybe? No?

Any requests?

Bon Iver - Come Talk To Me (Peter Gabriel cover)

I had sort of lost this track until today. I can’t believe I forgot how great it was.

Duet, Rachael Yamagata and Ray LaMontagne.

Just sit and listen.

I like both of their voices, so naturally I love this.

black and gold // katy perry [sam sparro cover]

download: itunes

I enjoyed it. I don’t even understand why I like Katy Perry’s voice so much, but I do.

YOU GUYS.

Experience Dave Rawlings’ live session at NPR’s KEXP (with Gillian Welch!) on YouTube. The video and audio quality are great, and it’s all so good.

Click here for the other videos/audio; there are four songs. You can, uh, thank me later.

13 year old Greyson Michael Chance playing Paparazzi by Lady Gaga

*jaw drops* this kid is amazing.

The girls’ judgmental faces in the background might be the best part of this video.

Josh Ritter - Folk Bloodbath, from his new album, “So Runs The World Away”

Louis said to Delia, “That’s the sad thing with life: there’s people always leavin’ just as other folks arrive.”

“Stay With Me” by Sarah Jaffe


You say go, I’ll go
if you wanted to take it slow
we’ll take it slow
put your hands over my eyes
I’m happy to be blind

I’ll be damned
it’s happening again
in minutes we’ll see ourselves
in a whole new light
and pieces from our shelves
will take flight


Please stay with me
stay with me

Aubrey! This is the girl who opened for Nora Jones at the Midland. LOVED HER LIVE. Some of the stylistic swoops remind me of Damien Rice.

I liked this a lot. Her album as a whole doesn’t seem fantastic, but I enjoy this.

Explosions In The Sky - Your Hand In Mine (Goodbye)

Your Hand in Mine (Goodbye), Explosions in the Sky, Friday Night Lights

Shorter than the original this version (as well as (with Strings)) is still just as touching. And maybe it’s just the title but this version seems much sadder than the original as well. Or maybe it’s just me.

I think I’ve heard this before somewhere. There’s been a shorter version with strings floating about the Interwebs for awhile.

They were you, they were you, they were you.

(The dashboard doesn’t show it, but there’s a flash player for the song in this post.)

Katy Perry - Use Your Love

Just cranked out a delicious 53 minute run to this little jam and marveled at how crazy/amazing knees are. 

Excellent. And a good beat for running.

Joanna Newsom - Soft As Chalk

I think this is one of my favorite tracks from Joanna Newsom’s new 3 CD album, Have One On Me.
