The song in question being Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.” I remember hearing the Ted Leo cover earlier this year and really digging it. I don’t think I had heard the original version at the time, which gave it that much more of an impact.

As for the second video, Kidz Bop. Not simply any Kidz Bop though, this video was created by a href=”http://www.wormseyefilms.com/”Wormseye/a, who’ve done videos for such bands as Stellastarr. The list can subsequently be viewed a href=”http://www.wormseyefilms.com/reel.html”here/a. I really haven’t seen more than a handful of music videos this year, so I can’t really say what the best one was…but sitting here, I can’t think of a video that I’ve enjoyed as much as this one (this year).br /So, please check it out a href=”http://www.wormseyefilms.com/quicktimes/kb_sybg.mov”HERE/a, and enjoy both.br /br /div style=”text-align: center;”a href=”http://locker.uky.edu/%7Entgrav2/01%20Since%20U%20Been%20Gone%20%20Maps.mp3″ /a p class=”MsoNormal”sTed Leo “Since You’ve Been Gone/Maps”o:p/o:p/s/p p class=”MsoNormal”sAggro1 – Kelly Clarkson “Since U Been Gone” vs. American Analogue Set “Hard to Find”o:p/o:p/s/p p class=”MsoNormal”sKelly Clarkson “Since U Been Gone”o:p/o:p/s/p a href=”http://homepage.mac.com/said_the/.Public/Kelly_Clarkson_Since_U.mp3″/abr /br /div style=”text-align: left;”a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/1600/Mary%20Kate%20Ashley%20Sorry%20Not%20Even%20Lou%20Reed%20Can%20Give%20You%20Street%20Cred.jpg”img style=”margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;” src=”http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1133/636/200/Mary%20Kate%20Ashley%20Sorry%20Not%20Even%20Lou%20Reed%20Can%20Give%20You%20Street%20Cred.jpg” alt=”" border=”0″ //aI think this picture is great, it’s got a sort of tongue-in-cheek thing going, if you think about it. Yeah, we’re millionaire (pural) (and how!) but we still know our musical roots…well, maybe not, but this Velvet Underground “shout out” might explain the cocaine addiction, if nothing else. Which leads me into this: there’s going to be a release of The Velvet Underground’s reunion shows in Paris in 1993. Tragically, those will be the last shows with the original line-up as guitarist Sterling Morrison died of cancer in 1995. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a year later.

Who was the band that was frequently compared to The Velvet Underground and even played the band in the 1996 film “a href=”http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=as2path=ASIN/B000053VAVamp;amp;amp;amp;tag=culturebully-20camp=1789amp;creative=9325″I Shot Andy Warhol/aimg src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=culturebully-20l=as2amp;o=1a=B000053VAV” alt=”" style=”border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;” border=”0″ height=”1″ width=”1″ /”…Yo La Tengo.br /br /div style=”text-align: center;”a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/yo_la_tengo_little_eyes.mp3″Yo La Tengo “Little Eyes”/abr /a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/sosad.mp3″Yo La Tengo”Don’t Have To Be So Sad”/abr /a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/lovelife.mp3″Yo La Tengo”The Love Life of the Octopus”/abr /a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/coke.mp3″Yo La Tengo”Coke Commercial”/abr /a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/nosmokingpsa.mp3″Yo La Tengo”No Smoking PSA”/abr /a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/cellphone.mp3″Yo La Tengo”Cell Phone”/abr /a href=”http://www.epitonic.com/files/reg/songs/mp3/Yo_La_Tengo-Nuclear_War.mp3″Yo La Tengo”Nuclear War”/abr /a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/behindthatlockeddoor.mp3″Yo La Tengo”Behind That Locked Door” (live)/abr /a href=”http://www.yolatengo.com/audio/beautifulworld.mp3″Yo La Tengo”Beautiful World” (live)/a/div /div/div
