Wasted State of Mind starts off with an extremely fast percussion track, of which the exact instrument, I'm still trying to figure out. I believe it's a Krin aka (Slit Drum), though I'm not 100% sure. Next comes a very slow melodic piano (bass), on top of that, even more piano, drumset, and guitar. Take a listen and see for yourself how well Trail of Dead layers their music and creates this beauty of a song.

On a side note, I would like to thank my wonderful girlfriend for introducing this artist/album to me.

Hip-hop! Free? Yep, the guys over at Adult Swim (plus Def Jux) just* released another AMAZING compilation featuring some unique/fun tracks, laid down by some great artists, El-P, Mr Lif and Cannibal Ox, Cage, just to name a few. None Shall Pass is just one of ten, that can be downloaded for free here (http://www.adultswim.com/williams/music/defswim/index.html) Now about this song, like many of Aesop Rock's songs, this one delivers quite the story, with just the right blend of melodic beats and synth. I really enjoy how simplicity of the song, and its accompanying "piano/marimba" beat. Quick Fact: None Shall Pass is also the tentative name of Aesop's soon to be latest album(it was announced in April of '06 that it was in the works). *and by just I mean, in February..I knew about it then, but was too busy listening to it to post about it, I swear!

The Offspring would be in that list, they have been with me since 1992, and have never let go. As for this song, I find it to be one of the deepest songs Dexter Holland has ever wrote. It's an extremely emotional song, yet carries all of the distinct attributes that make up the band. I look forward to their next album release (hopefully) this summer, and am loving the childhood memories that this band brings back to me.

She is an extremely diverse musician, who (if your lucky to see) will combine her talents into 1 performance. If you are not so lucky, check it out on youTube. Her mix of flamenco guitar, folk, and upbeat drumming/percussion is magical. It is very hard to describe, so please listen to the song, and go to her web page. Make sure to watch her video's, I guarantee it's not only a sight for the eyes, but something even more entrancing for the ears.

Some of the other bands chosen to ruin this soundtrack are Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, and Marilyn Manson. Out of all of them, I must commend Fiona's version of this song though. It fits very well, sounds beautiful, and has just enough mix between the two (Danny Elfman's score/Fiona's musical style). I'm not sure why they did this, but the other bands in my opinion did NOT do a very good job.

This is an amazing cover of Such Great Heights which is originally performed by The Postal Service. What is unique about this cover, is not only Ben Folds style of singing, but more so the instrumental aspects of the song. The piano is unbelievable, I love how it walks you around the song, especially during the chorus. If you want to see a video of the recording, in which they use a box as the bass drum, and a glass as a chime go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KI78874qbU. Also if you listen close, you can hear he added a new word to the lyrics..

This time we have Bedlight For Blue Eyes covering Third Eye blinds "Jumper". This is the first time I have heard of Bedlight For Blue Eyes, and I must say that they did a great job covering this song. The cover still retained all the qualities as the original, and yet still had something unique to offer the song.

Everything about it is magical, the banjo, the orchestral, the backup vocals, and of course his writing. Amazing on so many levels, he is one of the few artist I feel can completely tell a story giving it emotions, feelings, senses, and every aspect of being there when the thought of the song came to him.
