Folk Covers of Punk Songs

HANK ALTOGETHER:

Over at boingboing.net, Cory Doctorow posted a wonderful link to a site which has collected a bunch of folk covers of punk songs. There are some oldies but goodies here like Uncle Tupelo's cover of Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog," Calexico's atmospheric rendering of The Clash's "Guns of Brixton," and Ryan Adams doing his -- I wanted to be in Black Flag -- thing. Then there's some really surprising stuff, too: the bluegrass "Lust for Life," the sweet Japanese-pop of "Lost in the Supermarket." But the best part, it's all free! Thanks to the compilers of this, Coverlaydown.
