So let's see if this works... this video had entirely too much talking and annoying DJs before and after the song, but I can't find a better version. Trying to start it in the right place...

The Revivalists – “To Love Somebody”
The Revivalists are another band that I've been enjoying quite a bit, and their more country take on this Bee Gees song (the best Bee Gees song?) hits that thing where you want a cover song to add something new, and not just duplicate what went before. Anyway, I dig this.
Houndmouth – Runaround Sue
Welcome to Philosofer week. I've got a half-baked idea to try to find videos of more modern artists covering less modern songs. I was inspired partially by Pepper's "Jump In The Line" video. Let's see what happens.
The first entry is Houndmouth, which is a band I've come to appreciate quite a bit. This cover of Dion's "Runaround Sue" starts a little slow, but really gets fun well before the end. Enjoy!
Waxahatchee – Swan Dive
Thanks for indulging me and my weird little theme this week.
