I must have been playing too much Guitar Hero recently as I've got 70's rock on the mind. But it did remind me of a brilliant cover The Joggers did of the classic Yes song, "Long Distance Runaround". It was released last April on the Bridging The Distance compilation featuring more indie-does-classic-rock, including covers by The Decemberists, The Thermals, Britt Daniel of Spoon...

Went to the Joggers/Oxford Collapse show on saturday at Hotel Utah. Intimate venue, a great (and surprising) place to see bands of this caliber. Yeah yeah, I didn't go to Bridge School, but I hate going to Shoreline.
Memoir started off things with a solo acoustic set. Thought it sounded somewhere between the decemberists and REM.
Boy In The Bubble was up next pushing their brand of glam rock.
Oxford Collapse got on stage the rocked the place out.
They were all over (and off) the stage. Didn't play "Proofreading" but they did play "Please Visit Your National Parks"...videos below.
The Joggers pretty much went crazy too. Started off the set with "Wicked Light Sleeper".
I like this photo, looks like he's taking off...
One more shot of screaming!
