WOW. Now this is how you cover songs… you make it your own. Plus you play it with a full band on a street corner. The band playing is Set Sail covering Little Lion Man originally by Mumford & Sons.
Came across this on a great covers blog called Copy Cats. Anyhow, here’s a quote from someone there:

I saw this band busking on the street in May, and bought their EP after 10 minutes. I don’t particularly like Mumford & Sons, but loved this cover.
Yeah i would have too. enjoy

The news source that corrected me the first time turned out to be WRONG!! They interviewed the father, the kid is from australia and yes, they were going at it.. Way to go!!
CORRECTION: Everyone has been sharing this pic thinking it’s a romantic photo in the middle of a riot. I have just learned that no. She had been stabbed. Yes, STABBED. He was consoling her. Someone stabbed her over a hockey game. A GAME!!! That disgusts me.
Seriously. Now that’s the kind of rioting we need to see more of… I guess the stereotype about Canadians is true… they really…ohh wait.. nah I know a few that aren’t as nice as the stereotype about them is,… but this is the most romantic riot i’ve ever seen. This is how riots should be like.

I love this. It’s Samuel L. Jackson doing an AWESOME narration of the children’s book “Go The F*ck To Sleep”…. the intro is also money, and yes, he reads it legitimately as it’s supposed to be read.
If Shel Silverstein were still alive, this is how i’d imagine he’d read it…. yes, lately this blog has turned into a slightly different direction than the old ad blog you’re use to seeing, but like I said in previous random posts….you really need to see/hear this. I’ve been busy with other work, but for those that have actually gone out of their way to email me and ask me to post more often, I promise you I will soon be back to dishing out the campaigns/behind the scenes/backstory goodies that made this site actually popular ‘back in the day.’
So obviously this is NSFW (not safe for work), but go home, listen to it then go out and buy the book. Yes, its a real childrens book named Go the F**k to Sleep, by Adam Mansbach, with illustrations by Ricardo Cortés and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. Who apparently relates personally to the message (and after talking with a few new parents, this is what most are typically thinking when first having a kid……though some, as you’ll hear in the intro and personal story from Mr. Jackson, actually say it to their kids….who sometimes start saying it back when they want to know if its bed-time yet).
Enjoy. I did (and bought the book even though I am without child, at least any that I know of). ;P
P.S. i love this so much you’ll notice i didn’t even use any amazon affiliate links… but it’s available at most bookstores.
