Brandi Carlile - The Story
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
All of the friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess

Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers - I Can't Go For That
I became a big fan of Hall and Oates fan ever since getting addicted to their song "One on One". I get excited at the mention of their name, I don't exactly know why, people often find it odd that I giggle like a school girl. I find it odd too, in the looks department their not exactly my cup of tea, but it's a love I can't explain. XD
I suddenly remember the time that I caught the movie "You Again" on cable -the one with Kristin Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver. I was absolutely ecstatic by the end of that movie! Go ahead and watch it to figure out why. ;)
Another case in point; a friend had posted a YouTube link to a video of this group singing "I Can't Go For That" in a van. I don't always click links posted by other people, but seeing someone do a cover of Hall and Oates, I just couldn't resist clicking.
I so did not regret that decision. These people are the BOSS! And now I think a new song is competing as my most favorite Hall and Oates song. XD I haven't been this happy with a H&O cover since The Bird and The Bee! Actually I think I like Nicki Bluhm waaaay better. It's not even just the cover that blows my mind, is that they did this recording, on the road, with an iPhone! These people are the real deal! I'm a frustrated musician and THIS is what I strive to become! Their Van Sessions are the most awesomest thing ever that ended up watching their whole playlist.
I seriously want to be part of their posse. Or at the very least have my own friends who'd be up for a musical road trip like the ones they have.

This song somehow reminds me of "I'd Do Anything for Love, But I Won't Do That." Just a more up beat and cheerful, don't you think?
