So I know that just this past weekend I was raving about the folk cover of MGMT’s “Kids” being one of the best things I had heard this year, but I have already found something to take it’s place. A couple weeks ago Passion Pit released a deluxe edition of their stellar 2009 album, Manners and I foolishly paid no attention. If any of you have yet to purchase one of the catchiest pop records of the past decade, go ahead and take advantage of this deluxe reissue. Along with the hook-laden tracks that made up the original record is a “stripped down” version of both “Sleepyhead” and “Moth’s Wings” and then a kick-ass version of the 90′s hit, “Dreams,” by the Cranberries. Apparently “Dreams” has become a staple at their live shows as of recent. The song was recently featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered and can be heard below.
