Standing in line today to finally fulfill my craving for a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks, I flip through the four albums eyeing me from the counter by the biscotti and gift cards, and what do I find?
An album full of Muppet cover songs. A strang grouping of artists – a Weezer and Haley Williams pairing? Alkaline Trio? Rachael Yamagata? Hmm I like all these things, on their own. BUT NOT ON A MUPPET COVER ALBUM!
I suppose if I had a brood of non-sleepy runts, I’d play this crap for them, in hopes of relaxation. Otherwise, why does this exist? What is it for?
Tracklist:
- Ok Go – ”The Muppet Show Theme”
- Weezer and Haley Williams – ”The Rainbow Connection”
- The Fray – ”Mahna Mahna”
- Alkaline Trio – ”Movin’ Right Along”
- My Morning Jacket – ”Our World”
- Amy Lee – ”Halfway Down the Stairs”
- Sondre Leche – ”Mr. Bassman”
- The Airborne Toxic Event – ”Wishing Song”
- Brandon Saller and Billy Martin – ”Night Life”
- Andrew Bird – ”Bein’ Green” (Andrew Bird)
- Matt Nathanson – ”I Hope That Somethin’ Better Comes Along”
- Rachael Yamagata – ”I’m Going to Go Back There Someday”
[The Green Album was released August 23rd, 2011. And it sucks more than Sasha Grey]
This cd rocks, why you be hating?
