twinsAnother post inspired by “fun with my iTunes” – though these song pairings may have the same title, the tracks are far from clones. I went through the muffin music archives and hand-picked five pairs of songs possessing the same title, but maintaining very different styles, influences and sounds.

After pairing them off, I spent some time in my headphones deciding which artist/band did the title the most justice. To the victor goes the shaka.

In the coming weeks, get ready for some serious live performance reviews as the month of May is packed with shows down here in San Diego. Review Preview – The Shins, The Avett Brothers, Music For Animals and many more… For now, enjoy the twin title breakdowns.
