The Miseducation of Devendra Banhart


In the category of covers that probably should never have happened, but now that they have, we can't really say no to them:

Devendra Banhart - Doo Wop (That Thing) [Lauryn Hill cover] (mp3)
Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing) (mp3)

And, hey why not?:

Vic Chesnutt & Liz Durrett - Somewhere (from West Side Story) (mp3)

And isn't that a nice picture of Devendra and Chan? Yes.

ALSO: We did it. We watched all six Star Wars films in chronological order, beginning to end, midnight on Friday to 2 in the afternoon on Saturday, 15 hours of lasers and wookies and friendly green aliens with grammar problems and the whole tragic rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. But why did this mind-blowingly horrendous commercial have to exist?
