Sonic Boom Six - Let's Push Things Forward
Add to EJ Playlist Directed by Gregory Nolan for Xtra Mile TV.
Sonic Boom Six's version of The Streets' 'Let's Push Things Forward' is The Boom's homage to the influence that Mike Skinner had on the band, both from a musical and lyrical standpoint. Unveiled on SB6's headline album tour, the track was met with an ecstatic response from the crowds so Sonic Boom Six took the opportunity to record the song in the studio as a B-Side for their 'Keep On Believing' single. 'Keep on Believing' is released as a digital download through Xtra Mile Recordings. Tracklisting is as follows:
1. Keep On Believing (Single Mix)
2. Let's Push Things Forward
3. Keep On Believing (Capitol 1212 remix)

They Might Be Giants covers Chumbawamba
Add to EJ Playlist As you may recall, They Might Be Giants' "Birdhouse In Your Soul" was on this year's Undercover list, and was tackled by Titus Andronicus. Many vocal commenters weren't too fond of the version—though we got a bunch of e-mails from people who liked it. One of those people was They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh, who offered up his band's services for a rendition of Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping." Flansburgh also had the brilliant idea of recruiting backup singers from our office to sing/shout the chorus. He asked me to determine how many people we could fit in that room—it was 16, plus two camera men, plus the band—and on Memorial Day, TMBG made a special stop in Chicago to perform the song. Needless to say, when I set about finding A.V. Club staffers and friends to populate the room, nerdgasms abounded: You'll see Tasha Robinson, Genevieve Koski, Kyle Ryan, and new web producer Sarah Collins in the room. Oh, and Pop Pilgrims co-host Dan Telfer! And a special appearance by my baby boy Jasper! (You may notice that the lights are a little low in the round room, both for atmosphere and to keep things cooler.) Anyway, we think this one's epic, and we think you will, too. They Might Be Giants' new album, Join Us, will be released on July 19. It doesn't feature "Tubthumping," but it's awesome nonetheless.

North Star - The Rural Alberta Advantage
Add to EJ Playlist North Star by The Rural Alberta Advantage from their album Departing (2011)
lyrics
Well our eyes,
Watching the stars one at a time,
I lost the words, I'm clutching on your hand tight
Wear a small sweater and it looks nice
I never felt better
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car
Will we ever take a chance, or will we restart?
The sky is a map that's guiding us back to my heart
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car
Follow the North Star
It's leading you back into my heart
And then we're home
When we hit the city limits don't forget me for a minute tonight
We're far apart under the same sky,
You're driving in the dark, I'm in the city's lights
Wishing just to see you for another night
We're looking above for the North Star
Guiding us home in your friend's car
Will we ever take a chance, or will we restart?
The sky is a map that's guiding back to my heart
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car
Follow the North Star
It's leading you back into my heart
And then we're home
When we hit the city limits don't forget me for a minute tonight

The Breakup - The Rural Alberta Advantage
Add to EJ Playlist The Breakup by The Rural Alberta Advantage from their album Departing (2011)
When the ice breaks,
When the hearts shake in the town and it marks the end of Winter,
The end of our love for now.
And you spent your Summers,
Your Summers in the south in the Central Rockies
And I left you now.
But what'll I do?
I never thought it was true.
Under the hill star,
Above the city tonight and past the cemetery,
Where my father tried to start a new life.
And I held you tight,
We were waiting for the breakup,
All the cracks in the ice.
And what'll I do?
I never thought it was true.
Cut a line in the snow with our boots,
Split this city in two,
From Abasand and Coker Two.
The ice is gone you'll leave me too,
The ice is gone you'll leave me too.
And you will find me,
When the Summer dies stuck in McMurray,
I'll be waiting for the ice.
And what'll I do?
I never thought it was true
Cut a line in the snow with our boots,
Split this city in two,
From Abasand and Coker Two.
The ice is gone you'll leave me too,
The ice is gone you'll leave me too.
