I was really excited when I saw the words "indie-fied covers of your favorite pop songs" this morning over here. One and a half listen-throughs later...I remembered why sometimes indie rock is relentlessly mocked. But there are still enough good tracks to make it worth a listen. Which you can do below, because technology is awesome.

I spent a lot of time this week downloading more music that I didn't really need. This seems more justified if I share it with the world: then it's a public service, right? Seeing as it's Sunday, (and I've been feeling oddly nostalgic about high school lately anyway), here's a nod to the old-skool X-Phile fandom.

Because really, we've all asked this question at some point: David Duchovny, why won't you love me?

(If after this you're really missing X-Files Sundays, you can catch Gillian Anderson in Bleak House tonight at 9 EST on PBS. It's banannagoats' new favorite TV miniseries in the world, and she wants to spread the joy.)

Also, because it's awesomely surreal and I kind of love it: Hanson does Radiohead. NB: I recommend skipping the first 20-ish seconds, a solid block of teenie screaming that gives the Hard Day's Night crowd a run for its money.
