Little Lion Man by Set Sail
originally Mumford & Sonsvia thatgirlpatty:
I saw this band busking on the street in May, and bought their EP after 10 minutes. I don’t particularly like Mumford & Sons, but loved this cover.
Also see: Set Sail serenade Virgin passengers on their way to Hong Kong with Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours.” (AOL Travel):
That drummer is bad-ass.
Weezer - “Paranoid Android” (Radiohead cover)
I liked this a lot more than I thought I was going to like it based on the premise (i.e., Weezer covering Radiohead).
This is the most gorgeous cover of a Pixies song I have ever heard. Thanks to Bryan for pointing it out to me

You guys, they spent two whole weekends making it.
Internet Phenomenon of the Day: Wunderkind Greyson Michael Chance, whose “Paparazzi” cover has been viewed nearly 10 million times, was invited to perform on Ellen.
This kid was born to be the star he will undoubtedly become.
Yep, just as awesome and impressive the second time around.
Paparazzi by Greyson
originally by Lady GagaFrom lindsayrobertson who says:
I had to see this on approximately 98 blogs before finally giving in and clicking. And now I’m as obsessed with it as everyone else. So if you’re like me, holding out as a symptom of “I don’t like seeing the same thing 98 times” generalized internet boredom I urge you to make an exception for this one viral video. It’s that amazing.
This kid is really, really good.

I’m Samit Sarkar, an Associate Editor at Destructoid.com. It’s pretty much the greatest job in the world, though the common misconception is that I simply get to play video games all day. It doesn’t quite work that way — but it’s still awesome. (If you want to check out all the posts I’ve written, head here.)
I’m a stickler for proper English — grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. — so if you see any mistakes in my writing, let me know. And if you see mistakes elsewhere, let me know, because I’ll want to point them out here and laugh (à la English Fail Blog). I might even put some on The Grammar Nazi, a Tumblr that I contribute to.
You can contact me at samit [dot] sarkar [at] gmail [dot] com for personal stuff, at samit [at] destructoid [dot] com for Destructoid-related inquiries, or on Twitter (see below). I’m also on Facebook.
Oh, in case you’re wondering, I’m 25 and I live in Long Island. But it’s so much easier to just say New York — I’m only an hour east of Manhattan.
Also, I am a HUGE fan of the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees.
