Lately I've stumbled across some really excellent covers... I'm sure this will be a recurring theme because I'm finding LOTS of great ones! And, because I'm such a giver, I'm going to share them with YOU, gentle reader. (But because I'm lazy, I urge you to seek out the bands yourselves without me having to post links.

1989: A Year In Review

Aug 17, 2006, 2:54pm Quick Before It Melts

Whenever I think back to my musical youth (you may be as old as me if you caught that

Aug 2, 2006, 9:27pm radams ad nauseum
