Iron Horse - Polar Opposites (Modest Mouse Cover)

This is the first track off of Iron Horses’ Pickin’ on Modest Mouse, a bluegrass tribute to the band. One of the reasons this album works is because Modest Mouse lyrics are so, well, bluegrassy. Listen to this song, it sounds like the lyrics were written for bluegrass.

Virgin Mobile FreeFest 2009

The Virgin Mobile fest has changed its name to “FreeFest,” and as the name would imply, the whole thing is free. “In a time of economic challenges and daily sacrifices, we wanted to throw a fantastic party so people could let loose and have a great time — on us,” said Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, in a statement. “Virgin Mobile FreeFest offers music fans a brilliant day of fun and music and a chance for them to give back to those even less fortunate.” I have to say, that is pretty damn cool.
