IFLTS: 'Lovers Who Uncover,' The Little Ones

'Lovers Who Uncover,' The Little Ones From 2006's 'Sing Song' EP Team Spinner checked out the Little Ones at SXSW on the tip that they sounded like Lightning Seeds meets some other band that I forgot already.

IFLTS: 'Control Freak,' Copeland

'Control Freak,' Copeland From 2006's 'Eat, Sleep, Repeat' You, too, can love this song but first, you will need to join me on a little mental journey.
