A.V. Undercover

yambidextrous music av club, covers, music

There is so much great content out there online. This is both a gift and a curse, as you can get totally caught in a vortex of hyperlinks, a wikihole, a YouTube orgy.

Things slip by. This is inevitable. Don’t beat yourself up.

And yet! I so love the AV Club, and yet had totally skipped over their AV Undercover feature, in which bands stop by to record 1 of 25 cover songs, crossing one off the list each time.

I was sold when I heard Sam Bean of Iron and Wine doing George Michael.

Peter, Bjorn & John & Otis?

This is the second list that the AV Club has done, so there is ample opportunity to get splendidly lost.
