Listen to Tokyo Police Club's Ambitious Cover Project
Tokyo Police Club have embarked on an incredibly ambitious cover project they are calling 10 Song, 10 Days, 10 Hours, 10 Years. According to Entertainment Weekly!, each day for the next 10 days, the band will go into Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles and rehearse/record a cover of a song from the past 10 years in 10 hours. There will be one cover song from each year of the past 10 years, getting kicked off with a cover of Moby's "Southside" which features guest vocals by Morgan Kibby of M83. Their cover song from 2002 that got released today is of Jimmy Eat World's "Sweetness" featuring Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit fame. read more

My first encounter with Moby, as I imagine was the case for many people, was in 1999 when “Southside” from his album Play received widespread radio coverage, thanks in no small amount to Gwen Stefani’s featured role.

[Pictured: the owners of Teany] Although perhaps hearing is the most important of the five senses to a musician, no one can discount the relevance of taste in a happy life. Everyone has their favorite foods, and if you’re like us, opening your very own restaurant would be a dream-come-true. Each of these foodie musicians are living the dream, owning restaurants that span a wide variety of cuisines.
