By Jeff:
Good evening and welcome to Thumpin’ Thursday! I hope you are well and looking forward to a nice weekend.
Today I bring a song by the Foo Fighters called “Miracle”. The song is among their more soft and acoustic album cuts of late. It really shows off their instrumentation skills as well as Dave Grohl’s versatile vocal abilities.
I feel sad saying it, but I do have to let you know what’s going on. First good news – whether you knew it or not but in a couple of weeks my life is going to change forever. Sadly, it is this reason that I am going to have to downgrade myself to “contributer” (which is kind of what I am already anyway). I won’t be able to post every Thursday, and there is no way of telling when Thursday comes around in the future whether I can post or not. When I can I will, but to be honest, there will be a handful of things that can prevent me from posting. I don’t want to be specific, but those who know me know what i’m talking about.
I have enjoyed being a regular contributor to the site for nearly 2 years now, and have recorded over 160 videos and amassed 170k in views (and rising at about 300-350 views/day). I know that this number won’t stop increasing even if my production of videos slows down.
I want to thank everyone that has visited this blog regularly in the past 2 years, and I want to thank Chris and Jim for bringing me along for the ride. It is amazing to look back at where we were when this blog started, and what our mission was. I’d say we have done a pretty good job of getting a following, and I hope you bring nothing but support and joy when you read our blog.
If you have things you wish to pass along to me, please send me a private message or comment here.

We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session. We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and original music blog again in the future. But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!

Welcome to Friday’s edition of The Laptop Sessions. It’s Jeff tonight bringing you another new band to the sessions.
Foo Fighters are more known for fast grunge rock, but i’ve always been a fan of Dave Grohl’s writing. The song I chose is from their 2nd album “The Colour and the Shape” called Walking After You. It is a calm song and easy to listen too.
It only took me 2 takes this time, and that beats the previous 2 songs by about 8. I think i’m back into the swing of things finally. Also, I have finally mastered the new camera.
Stay tuned for more sessions, as Jim wows us with yet another installment of The Laptop Sessions.

Foo Fighters Acoustic Rock Cover Songs and Free mp3 DownloadsWhen Dave Grohl left his previous band Nirvana, he had much new music that he had spent a good deal of time with in the songwriting phase. Anxious to begin recording it, he did just that. While he was initially the only member of the band, when he went out on the road to perform his alternative music, he then assembled the members that are known today as the Foo Fighters. The band has released a good deal of new rock music, putting out six albums in less than thirteen years. Although Grohl composes original material for his albums, the band has released cover songs – one of their covers is of Pink Floyd’s “Have a Cigar” and was released on the Mission Impossible soundtrack. Several Foo Fighters tracks have already been recorded and released as free videos in the Laptop Sessions series; Grohl’s predilection for loud, electric songs with screaming vocals notwithstanding, there is a current of acoustic music throughout the Foo Fighters catalog that makes them excellent candidates for covers on the video blog. |
