Normally I roll my eyes whenever I hear about a rock group covering a hip-hop song. But last night I was over at Pampelmoose (Dave Allen from Gang of Four’s blog) when I stumbled on something really amazing. It was Lykke Li and Bjorn Yttling(of Peter Bjorn and John fame) doing an impressive cover of Rick Ross’ “Hustlin.” There is nothing funny or ironic about her performance. With her strong command of the lyrics, she manages to make the song her own without sacrificng the cool, yet menacing swagger of the original. Sigh, I now regret not seeing her at Black Cat.

Oh and if you’re wondering why I haven’t been posting during the last couple of days/weeks, here’s why:
