Hello friends! We have now updated our YBP playlist of the week to include live video performances. Each week we will put together 10 of our favourite live performances- if you look to the right of our page, you can see that this week starts off with performances by Joanna Newsom, the Stills, Stars, Modest Mouse, and more. Let us know what you’ve been listening to, because WE WANT TO KNOW YOU! And don’t forget to keep checking back each week! xxx

We have been having some heated debates over here at YBP, about who has done some of the best Elliott Smith covers, and whether or not they do justice to his songs. Watch some of his great masterpieces covered in passionate ways by some of our favourite bands, and let us know which one you like most! xo, YBP Team.

PS: While you’re here, check out Rilo Kiley’s t-shirt, which raises money for the Elliott Smith Memorial Fund.

1. Music is the melody of our souls. We need to protect it like endangered animals.
2. One tee at a time, we can all make a difference.
3. I’m pretty sure The Giver, the Giving Tree, and Give Peace a Chance had some meaning.
4. Because my dad told me, “money doesn’t grow on trees,” the shirts with original graphics are only $2 more than the plain American Apparel tee.
5. Yellowbirds are hard to find, and they are even cuter in person.
6. YBP bands are seriously cool. We aren’t indie-snobs, but we think these are some very great musicians.
7. Look cool, listen to great music, give a helping hand, and know that YBP sends all of you our love.
