All of five minutes ago, I received a MySpace friend request from this band called Longstay. I clicked on the profile and noticed that the band has a cover of "This Place is a Prison," which is a Postal Service song.

Hmmm, band covering The Postal Service. Intriguing.

The cover is depressing in that late-1990s college kid sitting around drinking Natty Light out of a can in listening to Silver Jews sort of way. Nice.

I couldn't get the other songs on the MySpace profile to load, so I have nothing else to add except that I know a certain former roommate of mine who reads this blog often will really dig Longstay. Oh, and the band is from San Diego and it looks like the closest they will get to L.A. is Fullerton on 2/06/07.
