Each week on the 3am Mixtapes podcast, I will share with you the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general like top six Australian bands. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Bands that have "Young" in their name.

This week it's all about those musicians who single-handedly build up layer upon layers to make a song, the Top Six Loopers!

Getting loopy this week is:

"Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall
"The Riverbed" by Owen Pallett
"Shadowless" by Hannah Epperson
"I Just Want To" by Reggie Watts
"Jane" by Whitehorse
"Chemical Polarity" by Chersea

Any questions or comments or waffles or criticisms or suggestions for future themes are welcome!

Time for another Random Top 6 list! Here's the deal: every ~~week~~ whenever I feel like it, I will choose a random category and select the top 6 songs fitting that criteria. Today I have chosen cover songs. It was hard to slim it down to just six, as there are a ton of great cover songs out there, and I'm not saying these are the six best of all time ever... but here is the Top 6 Cover Songs of the Time Being. Even though not all of them are new. I just pretty much chose six nifty ones that people may not have heard. Everyone knows Johnny Cash's Hurt is the best cover ever anyway. And before we get into it, if anyone has suggestions to future top six lists, let me know. I'm all ears.
Oh, and also, some of these are live, so may not have the best quality. But all are completely listenable. I have also included links to youtubes of the originals.
