Another Cover

For those of you who know me, you know that I love cover songs, and strangely I seem to be attracted more to the cover, than the original song. You may also know that I love the band Mates of State . They are an amazing duo, husband and wife (although they didn't start out that way). She plays the organ and he plays the drums and they harmonize amazingly well while playing their respective instruments. Pretty amazing. In 2004 Kori gave birth to their daughter Magnolia. They have a blog about their urban parenting experience up at Babble called: Band on the (Diaper) Run . Anyways, in her most recent post Kori mentioned how her organ got left in Seattle and they had to use a regular organ for her most recent concert, and they played the song featured here; which is a great song. I think usually I would say that I liked the cover more than the original, but Phantom Planet does a really good version of it too. I'd say there is a close tie.
