The next award is the Microwave Award. It goes out to the best cover song of the year. Cover songs are a very specific type of genius. I'm not talking bout the rock band that does 'Use Somebody' by Kings of Leon or the ole standbys like Journey or The Beatles. Those have been done, done & overdone. You could say that they were left in the microwave a bit too long. Though there were many good covers this year, one outshone the rest. It takes a '70s disco love song and really re-imagines it. It was a part of this excellent Levi's promo where a dozen or so artists covered some of their favorite songs. Without further ado, the Microwave Award winner is...
Young Hearts Run Free- Swell Season
Marketa Irglova & Glen Hansard make up Swell Season. They obtained national attention from starring in the '06 movie Once & their song 'Falling Slowly' captured the Oscar for Best Original Song. They have a great sound & you should check out their entire catalog.
Stay tuned, for the Costco Award
