0118 Simon and Garfunkel – The Only Living Boy In New York @ 3:42

Friday, April 8th, 2011

“Heeeerrrrre IIIIIIIII aaaaaaaaaam”

I got this one from the new Honda Accord commercial, which makes me think there are a ton of best parts waiting to be unearthed if I only look back at some classic TV commercials. I’m going to be spending some time over here now. More to come…

Love that bassline!

0103 Vampire Weekend – Giving up the Gun @ 2:59

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

“I see you shine in your way, go on, go on, go on”

I love that instrument in the background.  This is a good one to start off year #3. I thought I’d be rich by now though…

I’m doing movies now too, check it out at www.thebestpartsofmovies.com, or on FB, Twitter, Yelp etc. etc.

0101 The Tallest Man on Earth – Graceland (Cover) @ 2:26

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Posted by Andrew Howard, thanks D!

Amazing cover of a Paul Simon classic by Indie folk artist Tallest Man on Earth.  A few tweaks and some melody changes make this version an ipod favorite.    The whole song is a best part, but you can’t beat the lyrics  starting at 2:26.

“I see losing love is like a window in your heart, everybody sees you’re blown apart, everybody feels the wind blow”

Graceland 2:26 – 2:56
