music monday - smallpools

Last week I saw San Cisco and their opening band was Smallpools, a new band that just formed in 2013. 

This is their hit song "Dreaming." I first heard it on the radio and I thought it was Passion Pit! 

Smallpools definitely stole the show with their upbeat sound and sing-a-long lyrics. Another great tune to check out is "Mason Jar."

Even though my summer is over already, Smallpools is summer playlist worthy.

music monday - san cisco

It is no joke that I am a music cover aficionado. I have a cover to share again. This time it's San Cisco's cover of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."

Since Daft Punk came out with their most recent album, "Get Lucky" was already known to be a summer hit song. I've been listening to it since May, and I continued to listen to San Cisco's take on it.

Carrying on, I chose to share San Cisco's cover because I am actually seeing the Australian band tonight at Slims SF. Apart from their cover performance, I love their original song "Beach."

music monday - fleetwood mac covers

The first installment of Music Monday is a collection of various Fleetwood Mac covers that I love. I am somewhat an aficionado of music covers and this post is not to deter you from enjoying the original, rather to get a taste of another artist's take. I see it as an homage to something that has already been done. So here we go:

1. GYPSY / Gardens & Villa
This cover is on the "A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac" album

2. GO YOUR OWN WAY / Gabrielle Aplin

3. OH WELL / HAIM

The Haim sisters make this song sound like an anthem for girl power right? HAIM  is also featured on the aforementioned album performing a cover of "Hold Me."
