HTRMOS: Karen O, "Strange Love" (from Frankenweenie)
The obvious predecessor for Karen O's song comes from Mickey & Sylvia's "Love is Strange"...
...but I also picked up some cribbing from the space-age harmonizing of Dallas' own Steve Miller. You be the judge:

MARCH OF THE COVERS: The Hollies, "The Air That I Breathe" (Albert Hammond)
Until recently, I had no idea this was a cover... written by none other than Albert Hammond, father of the Strokes' guitarist.

MARCH OF THE COVERS: Playing for Change, "Stand by Me" (Ben E. King)
This is so incredibly awesome and uplifting. I can't get enough.

MARCH OF THE COVERS: The Pointer Sisters, "Fire" (Bruce Springsteen)
Written and recorded by The Boss, it was actually first released by Robert Gordon, and then the Pointer Sisters (both in 1978). While Springsteen performed the song live in the intervening years, his original version wasn't released until 1986. Enjoy the stage presence in both versions... hams (in a good way) all around. Thank you to Maura for the find(s)... :)

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Led Zeppelin, "Hey Hey What Can I Do"
Comin' your way from Jay B. in Brooklyn, who reminds us that this wasn't even on an album--it was the B-Side for "Immigrant Song." And it's great. Enjoy!

TV on the Radio, "You"
Ditto for TVOTR. From their most recent album, Nine Types of Light... A delightfully wacky video for a beautiful song. Enjoy!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Hysteric" (Acoustic Version)
It's a new year, and you know what that means... it's OK to post another YYYs song! This one knocked me out when I first heard it (after buying It's Blitz!). Hope you like it, too. These strange steps trace us back...
