A Bad Day...



My Macbook is no more...the hard drive went capoot...alas, I will put up an EP of the already finished songs for your enjoyment while I wait for a solution to present itself...The unfinished songs will not be finished but perhaps the replacements will end up even better...but my next post will be a lengthy EP...

Heard Somebody Say by Devendra Banhart(Friend John Cover)

Here is a simple cover I(Friend John) made of one of my favorite tunes to dream to. If you haven't listened to Devendra Banharts' albums, find some shade under a tree, grab your iPod and fall asleep to his wonderfully light tunes.

As with my remix of Dntel and cover of My Little Airport, I'm throwing this on the end of "Midnight Eyes" to include at least one cover/remix in my record.
