Radio Free MP3: Patrick & Eugene, Sebadoh, Yoyoyo Acapulco, & Lucinda Williams

Part of: Radio Free MP3

When we last spoke I wrote that I was about to embark on a new European adventure, but I did promise to write a couple of "Radio Free" articles before I left and several of them while I was there. I think I even promised to write about those adventures in a regular feature. Obviously I lied. I had every intention of doing some writing, but I simply didn't have the time. If anyone ever tells you that carting 31 students plus a nine-year-old around Europe for three months is an easy gig, bring them to me and I'll snatch that falsifying tongue right out of their mouth. From 6:30 every morning until about midnight I was not my own man. The few moments of free time I could find in between found me in no condition to do any sort of writing.

But here I am now, back in the States, settling into some new digs and ready to think about new music. As always this article will cover music I'm digging at the moment. Often it will be newly released indie rock, but sometimes not. It will usually be somebody you've never heard, or they might just be your favorite band. I am seriously going to try to write a couple of articles a week, but I've long since given up making those sorts of promises. Anyways, for now, enjoy!

Patrick and Eugene - "Can't Get You Out of My Head"
Listen here.

What's better in a post-Thanksgiving stupor, full-on Christmas shopping stress time frame than a ukulele and banjo packed cover of Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head?" Absolutely nothing I say.

Patrick and Eugene have been heard on television programs such as Weeds and Grey's Anatomy as well as movies (Mr. Bean, Burn After Reading) but are probably most recognized for "The Birds and the Bees" which was featured in a heavily played VW Rabbit commercial.
