Five points to Swedish duo First Aid Kit for retreating to the woods (the perfect setting) for a lovely performance of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song.” Not only do they absolutely nail this song, they’re apparently also signed to The Knife’s label Rabid Records. So, please take notice…

Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood covered Neil Young’s “Tell Me Why” at their Hollywood Bowl gig on Monday and thankfully an enterprising Radiohead fan was there to capture the tune. The duo had previously tried to play the opening track from After The Gold Rush the week before at their Washington gig, but Yorke apparently forgot the words. Check out the song and video below!

Datarock have included new song “True Stories” in their live setlists during the past year, but I thought it was worth noting that D-Rock’s Fredrik Saroea temporarily dropped the dance-rock bit and performed an unplugged version of the track for Norwegian TV. Check it out below along with a cranked-up version of the song.
