Okay, today's musical recommendation (I swear they won't always be cover songs, but I keep running into interesting cover songs). So, I had no idea that Jack Conte, who is an amazing musician (and all around smart/nice guy) and also the founder of Patreon, also has a funk band. And they're amazing. Here the are doing a funk cover of "Stayin' Alive" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piTvLuHWLyg

@mmasnick I love Scary Pockets! Their covers of Creep and Gimme Shelter are awesome and multi-instrumentalist Sam Wilkes is crazy good (usually on bass when he works with them) and a hoot to watch 😁

@mmasnick I always like an interesting cover. Doesn't have to be good, but if it's not, it better be original. Ever hear Wish You Were Here by Rasputina?
