By this point, everyone has probably heard Lady GaGa's "Poker Face" more times than they would like to count (and probably sang the infectious "ma ma ma ma MA" more times than they would care to admit).

To start this blog off right, let's start with one of my favorite covers in recent times. During their Little Noise session in Union Chapel, The Killers took some time out of their own music to cover Cyndi Lauper's iconic "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Now realistically, there is no girl in their band to have fun. But love the sentiment, and Brandon Flowers's voice just kills it. In a good way.

If you heard the wind cry "Mary" today, it's because the sultan of the six string, Jimi Hendrix, died 39 years ago today. The man conjured fire, figuratively and literally, in the realm of rock n' roll.
