Odds are you’ve heard Wally de Backer, aka Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.” 
It’s the Australian musician’s biggest commercial hit, selling more than 20 million copies since its release in 2011, making it one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. Not to mention it inspired several amazing covers, which you might have also stumbled upon.The music video, in its poignant simplicity, is every bit as iconic.Gotye stands naked facing the camera, as featured singer Kimbra faces him. As they sing, they are slowly “painted” into and out of the background of geometric shapes using stop motion animation. There’s a very Wes Anderson feel to it that adds so much to the story told in the song, making it all the more memorable. 
All this to say…it would be a challenge to recreate the magic that’s so inherent in the original. And yet, one dance company has clearly understood the assignment.

People can't get enough of this epic dance routine to "Somebody That I Used to Know"

It’s a shame this excellent touring production of Bob Dylan’s Girl from the North Country is not reaching a wider audience, perhaps due to its untypical jukebox musical approach to the material or Dylan’s heady, thought-provoking lyrics. For lovers of musical theatre, you’ll be treated to some brilliant vocal performances det amidst a dark, foreboding tale of Midwest Depression America.

Brooklyn-based trio Gooseberry returned in April to announce their most ambitious project to date: their debut full-length LP All My Friends Are Cattle. Today, the group is sharing their fourth and final single ahead of the album release, "Baby Do You?". The track is upbeat and punky, inspired by early Green Day and sounding almost Arctic Monkeys-esque. Gooseberry front man Asa Daniels calls "Baby Do You?", “a fun, silly punk tune about getting high and watching HBO. The world gets increasingly crazier each year, or so it seems. More and more it feels like we’re careening off the rails without much ability to change things. So why not get high and wonder if ET is already here posting celeb crushes on Tumblr?”
