Thank you, Internets! - John Doe, Dean & Britta, GBV

I can spend hours just going through websites looking for new music, odd covers, whatever. Just want to hear something I don't have in my collection. Or find some new band to get into. Whatever. I find some things I think more folks should see. So...

Here's John Doe covering the Replacements' "Here Comes a Regular". One of the greatest singer/songwriters covering another at a Replacements tribute show in San Francisco at 12 Galaxies in May 2006.




And Dean & Britta covering New Order's "Ceremony" at Johnny Brenda's from February 2008. I think I say "wow" right around the same time you hear it in this clip.




And Guided By Voices on the old Jon Stewart talk show from March 1995. When Mitch Mitchell comes back in around three minutes in, it's a great moment in televised rock history.




Ok...I'm working on some more articles, I swear.
