Exclusive: Wavves Reveal 'I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl' Cover Art

Who wants to meet Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl? Apparently, Wavves' Nathan Williams does, and we have an exclusive premiere of artwork from Williams' new EP Life Sux, which will feature the song "I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl." "That's Dave Grohl. It was drawn by Nick Gazin and it looks like Bradford Cox from Deerhunter with long hair," says Williams of the cover image. "Those are hobo symbols on the side, I think." The Grohl-loving first single from Life Sux premieres on MTV's new hipster comedy I Just Want My Pants Back following the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. The cut will also be available as a free download for a limited time on MTV.com.

“The A Team”

Ed Sheeran | 2011

This debut track from the then-20-year-old British singer-songwriter has a dark story behind it. Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
