Be My Boyfriend: George Barnett, A One-Man Cover Song Machine

Julie GersteinMay 14, 2013 //
"We're up all night to get lucky."

I’m not gonna lie, I find myself a little bit creepy for liking 19-year-old Brit musician George Barnett so much. I mean, I don’t like him quite as creepily as say, Nicholas Hoult. But he’s up there. Consider this cover he did of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” (yup, still obsessed with this song — their album Random Access Memories is out May 21). He plays all the instruments, and produces a pitch perfect cover it. It’s kind of great, too, because he deconstructs the song down to its component parts, and shows you a bit of how something like this comes together (I mean, minus Daft Punk’s helmets, of course). George has posted more than 20 videos of different covers — somehow he made me actually like a Lana Del Ray song, he’s that good. This guy is going to be mega-famous one day, so take a listen and a look and enjoy. [YouTube]

Got An Earworm?

Earworms. That’s what super catchy songs are sometimes referred to, because they burrow deep in your psyche and don’t let go. They become the soundtrack to whatever you’re doing — eating, shopping, working — and basically take over any spare brain space. Daft Punk’s new single “Get Lucky” is one of those earwormy tracks — an endlessly repeating riff featuring vocals from uber-charming Pharrell. The full length album, Random Access Memories, won’t be out in the states until May 21, but writer Alex Bailey deftly explains just what makes “Get Lucky” so compelling. Keep reading »

Top Five Robo-Lovers

SimchaMarch 5, 2008 //

The Times U.K. just released its awesomely nerdy list of the “50 Best Movie Robots”. As we geeked out and combed through the nominations, we found our human senses drooling. Sure, a bunch of them are programmed to kill, but they’re still pretty damn sexy. Maybe it’s all the sculpted metal, maybe it’s because they have bodies that just won’t quit — or perhaps we just have that weak mortal need to reason. While your man may think he’s dragging you along to watch his fave sci-fi/action flicks, we know your secret — there’s always an eyeful for the ladies too. In homage to manly machines, after the jump are The Frisky’s “Top Five RWLH’s (Robots We’d Like to Hump)”.
