Jimmy Eat World: “Coffee & Cigarettes” (Live on Conan)
via punknews.orgI’ve been a big fan of Jimmy Eat World since the mid 90s, but I didn’t care much for their last two albums. I haven’t checked out their newest one, but I might have to. I kind of dig the song they played on Conan the other night.

Metrodome roof collapse
via youtube.comEverybody else is posting the video of the Metrodome roof collapsing, so I might as well too. It’s a pretty amazing video. I remember them having problems with too much snow on the dome back in the 80s, but I don’t think it was ever this bad. We will see if they can get it fix by next Monday night.

White Wine in the Sun
So last December I posted a video and link to buy Tim Minchin’s amazing Christmas song “White Wine in the Sun”. Once again all money made from the song from November 21st to January 1st is going to charity.
This year in Australia, the amazing Kate Miller-Heidke covered the song for a Christmas CD for charity. Christian groups were outraged that the song was on the CD, despite the fact that proceeds go to a Christian charity. I think it’s a great song that shows Christmas is about more than religion. It’s about spending time with family whatever your religions beliefs are.
I saw Kate Miller-Heidke in concert last year and she has an amazing voice. Here is her version of the song:
And if you want to hear the song performed by Tim Minchin, here is that version:

Motion City Soundtrack – “A Lifeless Ordinary”
via spin.comI forgot to mention that at the Motion City Soundtrack concert Thursday night, they gave us a sneak preview of their video for “A Lifeless Ordinary” while they were setting up. It was pretty sweet watching the video as the whole crowd sang along. Well, today they released the video.

Seeing Motion City Soundtrack again
via youtube.comTomorrow we are heading down to Minneapolis to see Motion City Soundtrack again. It will be our eighth time seeing them I think, it’s hard to keep count. It’s also hard to believe of all the times we have seen them, we have yet to see them at 1st Ave. 1st Ave is one of my favorite places to see concerts. There is just so much history there. Any band that is anybody has played there, plus Purple Rain was filmed there.
Getting ready for the concert I watched a few videos. The above video is the first Motion City Soundtrack song I fell in love with. It’s kind of crazy how young they look in the video. 2003 wasn’t really that long ago was it?

Fake Problems with Brian Fallon (Gaslight Anthem): “Dammit (Blink 182)”
via punknews.orgFake Problems teamed up with Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem to cover the Blink 182 track “Dammit” while performing live in Vancouver earlier this month. Both bands were recently in Fargo, and I am a little bummed that I missed it.
