Comment:

Just returned from a much-needed vacation at Whistler BC, Canada's snow playground. This was intended to be my riding mix, but I found it too distracting to be listening while I was boarding and trying to take in the amazing mountain views.

The OutKast cover is quite enjoyable. Just when I thought the life had been sapped out the song for me, I found this manic, train-wreck pop-punk cover from Toronto's "The Blankket" and I'm enjoying it all over again. For those interested it is available legally by right clicking this link The Blankett - Hey Ya

Cover title from the TV On The Radio song. Cover art courtesy of Lawrence Harris' "White Mountains".

Grace Under Pressure has to be one of the top five best songs since 2000. That sucker SOARS.
