i kissed a boy and i liked it . . . gotta love a good COVER!

I know I haven't blogged since the 80's, sorry bout that. Shame on me. I'm such a bad blogger! Here's how I'll make it up to you - - with a slew of mp3's showcasing my current favorite bands covering other great bands..... who doesn't love a good cover!
i used to make full Hell Ya! Mixes of just cover songs, and I love when an artist like KATY PERRY covers a band like MGMT.

KATY PERRY 'ELECTRIC FEEL' (MGMT cover) (download mp3 via yousendit)

speaking of Katy Perry. . . (thanks Jeffree for turning me on to this band . . . )

FRAMING HANLEY 'LOLLIPOP' (Lil' Wayne Cover)

METRO STATION 'FOREVER YOUNG' (Alphaville cover) (download via yousendit)

Here's my favorite MILEY CYRUS cover, compliments of LA band THE MAE-SHI. I love djing this track, especially when I catch everyone signing along, without even realizing it's MILEY CYRUS! HA! Caught Ya Hipsters!! ;)

my first MUXTAPE + the best cover i've heard in years!

How can you not love Miley Cyrus???

I'll be honest. i Love Miley Cyrus! So cute, and so talented. She's is taking over! well i guess the whole Cyrus family is! they deserve it, as they are the nicest family i've met in the business. One time I gave Billy Ray Cyrus one of my Hell Ya! mixes when I met him a while back @ one of the first Metro Station shows - - and the next time we spoke - he told me which songs he liked best!!! WTF!?!?! BIlly Ray you rock!! That shit never happens!

SO thanks to Jax here is your new favorite Cover song. She posted it today on her ROCKINSIDER blog about THE MAE-SHI covering MILEY CYRUS 'See You Again'
It's soooooooo good. Damn the mae-shi are so genius. I can't stop listening to this.

My 200th post! YAY. Plus a recap of HELL YA! last thursday w/ Mezz Owls & The Mae-Shi!

Damn I haven't ever been as busy as right now. It's a good thing. So much good stuff happening, and so many great club nights / dj events I've been involved with. I got to DJ the SPACELAND 13th Anniversary Party, which was amazing. 13 bands and it seemed I was djing for 13 hours. HAHA. I love djing though, so no complaints! (Thanks Jennifer!) :)



The past Hell Ya! Night was one of our best. As I have said before, I'm a terrible writer, with terrible grammar. So I will leave it up to a few other amazing bloggers to explain the greatness of last thursday's Hell Ya! Night @ The Echo w/ Frankel, Eagle & Talon, Mezzanine Owls, & of course THE MAE-SHI!

Thanks to the following bloggers for some great reviews:
Especially one from the CLASSICAL GREEK THEATRE BLOG, who pretty much summed up my thoughts here:

'Last night The Mae Shi proved, again, that they are the best live band in Los Angeles.

Period.

No, your counter-argument is wrong.

I love Silversun Pickups, Autolux, The Cold War Kids, Airborne Toxic Event, Earlimart, and any other LA flag-bearing band of excellence. Those bands are remarkable assemblages of talent and we are blessed to have them. They write amazing, inspiring, thoughtful music. They write better songs than songs The Mae Shi write. But The Mae Shi are the best fucking live band in Los Angeles. Bar. Fucking. None. End of the conversation. Omega. Fin.'
