Mp3: “Unexplainable Stories” – Cloud Cult

mp3: “Unexplainable Stories” – Cloud Cult

It looks like they will be playing next week at St. Olaf College in my hometown of Northfield, Minnesota! I have been to many concerts at both St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges, just the mention brings back so many memories!! All of them good! …if it wasn’t for the cold winters, I might still live there!!

From the KEXP blog:

Cloud Cult is more of an experience than band — it’s the kind of music that enters at the ear, pumping warmly through through the heart, out to the ends of each and every capillary. In short, this beautiful music will melt you into the floor. “Unexplainable Stories” envelops immediately — surrounding the listener in a comforting mist of cello and horns.

Buy: Light Chasers from the band’s website

Um…Yeah.

As I was getting ready to turn in last night, I was distracted by the A.V. Club’s Undercover series “in which 25 bands will cover 25 songs in The A.V. Club office.” Why is this new to me??? Anyway…

I spent a lot of time watching and listening to the various covers, starting with The Walkmen’s cover of REM’s “Driver 8″

My daughter would laugh at me for choosing the Journey cover to post because I have always claimed to “hate” Journey. They just weren’t my thing…ever. However, although I appreciated most of the covers, this is the only one that made me want to hit play once again…and again.

I like it.


Clem Snide covers Journey

From the A.V. Club:

Clem Snide frontman (and only constant member) Eef Barzelay has made other artists’ songs his own many times before, from Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” to Hank Williams’ “Lost On The River” to The Velvet Underground’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror.” When we told Ben Folds that Barzelay would be shooting an Undercover, he said something like, “I can listen to that guy sing anything, all day.” When he chose Journey’s 1983 power ballad “Faithfully” for Undercover, we were delighted. When he told us it’d be performed in solo-ukulele form, that delight was doubled. It helps that the slightly cheesy lyric is something that Barzelay can relate to–missing your family while out on the road. Here’s an amazing line from Wikipedia about Journey’s original video: “Steve Perry can be seen shaving his short-lived but talked-about moustache in the video.” Don’t bail on this video, either: There’s a surprise at the end that’s even better than moustache-shaving. Clem Snide’s latest album is The Meat Of Life.
