Susanna Hoffs

On the way into college I was listening to the new Susanna Hoffs/Matthew Sweet album of cover versions, Under The Covers Vol. 2. Oh, those bastards.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - yeah yeah yeah!

Karen O

This is just so great. Don't tell her I said this for God's sake, but Karen O is just about the most perfect pop star since Debbie Harry in her prime... and possibly even better than that. And dude, what a killer guitar solo on the first song!

Great trainwrecks of our time – 2: Radiohead cover Blondie



Some cover versions should just be forbidden under punishment of death by fire ants. And is it just me, or does this sound like waaaaaay bad Manic Street Preachers, no disrespect intended (to the Manics)?

Great trainwrecks of our time - 1: Franz Ferdinand meet La Roux
