I recently came across several covers of the Byrd's gem Eight Miles High and thought what better than to share my faves in a blog post! Kicking things off with the original...

Vimeo Awards

Take a look at the winners of the Vimeo Awards! Among them is The Bottle by Kirsten Lepore who won the Community Choice award for best animation. It's a wonderful stop-motion about overseas correspondence. Watch it in full-screen, HD, Vimeo quality.

I had the pleasure of seeing Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan last night. They were accompanied by guitar and contrabass, no drums, but that made their voices stand out even more. So breath-takingly beautiful!
