As a general rule I try to hold off posting videos/links on the blog that I link to on Twitter because…well because that’s what that whole Monday Links thing is for, right? Right. However, sometimes things can’t wait and that fake rule I made up for myself needs to be broken. This ‘Whoa…’-inducing video of Michael Kiwanuka, Ben Howard and The Staves covering John Martyn’s ‘Over the Hill’ in a church at SXSW couldn’t wait until next week. I’m sure you’ll understand why once you hit play. Enjoy.
EDIT: Listen, I can’t not post this. From YoursTru.ly.
I was there! I was there!
That 2nd video might be my favorite 5 minutes of music so far this year. Great stuff.
