When I heard Rookie Of The Year had posted a new song on their myspace I was really hoping that it was off the upcoming album. Instead they posted a cover of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle". It's a great cover and worth checking out.

Fall Out Boy does Michael Jackson's "Beat It". I have to say of all the covers I have ever heard of "Beat It", this one is my absolute favorite.
Stream the song here
Song will be on some future live FOB DVD
Grizzly Bear's new "Friend EP" is out this Tuesday Nov 6th. It's a collection of new, reworked, and re-recorded material (including covers and collaborations). The Cover of "Knife" performed by CSS makes the "Friend EP" worth getting.

If you are wondering whether or not to buy this album..check out these reviews
"From the "Screen to Your Stereo II" is a great follow up to the band's 2006 release "Coming Home," and just goes to show why New Found Glory continues to be one of the strongest bands on the rock circuit for the past 10 years." Review
"I hold cover albums to a higher standard than albums with original material, but even if I didn't, New Found Glory's new album is sub-par. From the Screen to Your Stereo part II is simply a disappointment all around." Review
"Following the movie industry's method of using reusing old ideas, New Found Glory has recycled its own formula. However, unlike most sequels, this one is good, if not better than the original." Review
"If you have never heard of New Found Glory, get this album. There is no better way to fall in love with a band than to hear them re-invent some of your favorite songs in a way that is both respectful and energizing." Review
