'The District Sleeps Alone Tonight' : Frank Turner, Ben Marwood and Franz Nicolay

Here's something cool the Internet spit up today. Back in 2011, Frank Turner, Ben Marwood, and Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady) performed a cover of "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" by Postal Service. I never knew how much I wanted that song to be sung with an English accent until hearing this. The video comes from the last night of a tour they did together in Winchester, England. Check it out.

Why Today is Magic in the Music Universe

I'm convinced that some kind of fortuitous portal in the universe opened up today giving us new tracks from Tom Waits, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, and David Bowie (plus word of a new album). That's some good juju if I've ever seen it.

 And let's not even mention the unconfirmed speculation regarding a possible Postal Service reunion at Coachella. Don't even speak about it. I will say though, if it were to be true, it could probably only happen today.

 The stars are aligned, kids. Start a band or something today.

+ Tom Waits and Keith Richards - "Shenandoah"  (It's a sea chantey!)

+ Jimi Hendrix - "Somewhere" 

+ David Bowie - "Where Are They Now?"
