Justin Bieber Cover of the Day: It’s “Boyfriend” like you’ve never heard it before — all swaggy and live — courtesy up-and-coming L.A.-based band Palter Ego. The dynamic duo of jazz musicians Jesse Palter and Sam Barsh sounds like a cross between Etta James and Sia.
Stellar.
[thanks, jamie!]
These two are on my watch list. On another note, I have to say I love interpretative music covers of pop songs. It really changes my perspective on the song.

Documentary of the day: ‘The One Percent’
1%er.
“This 80-minute documentary focuses on the growing “wealth gap” in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. Johnson, who cut his film teeth at NYU and made the Emmy®-nominated 2003 HBO documentary Born Rich, here sets his sights on exploring the political, moral and emotional rationale that enables a tiny percentage of Americans - the one percent - to control nearly half the wealth of the entire United States. The film Includes interviews with Nicole Buffett, Bill Gates Sr., Adnan Khashoggi, Milton Friedman, Robert Reich, Ralph Nader and other luminaries.”
