So, i saw about this new album from the Punk Goes set quite a while ago now, but, to be honest i just didnt think it was gonig to be that good. Going on the covers for Song 2 and Wonderwall i feel such an opinion was well justified, the songs just aren't as good as the originals and it's pointless. But, as i scrolled down the list, i saw something that got me almost as excited as the thought i'll be seeing Zebrahead in two weeks (WOO!). A Third Eye Blind cover. That alone would provoke interest. When they then pick by far the best track on the self-titled album [for an emo loving retard anyway =D] i was ready to explode! Jumper is one of my all time favourite songs, amazingly beautiful and one of my happy/suicidal type songs. I'd try to explain that better but it's hard and *i* don't care enough, let alone you. The cover is done really beautifully and sounds just as wonderful as the original. Awesome stuff.
I also took the opportunity to check out the Alanis Morisette cover (hehe, "No ticket...") which is pretty awesome itself. I quite like miss Morisette (when not 'acting') but i think for me the song (You Oughta Know - is that middle word spelt right? Feth knows...) was made for a more grrr pop-punk manly band approach. Maybe i just prefer blokes? Ha! ;) Anyway, after that horrid overuse of brackets, you can see why i like these two songs now. Go on, you know you want to.

On an entirely random little tangent, i discovered Fall Out Boy (Well, okay, Patrick Stump, but he's blatently the best) were/was on the Live Lounge yesterday, performing Sugar, We're Going Down and a Ne Yo cover. Now, i was like "who the HELL is that" but once i listened to the song i knew what it was (thank my family's poor tastes in music!) but found myself suprisingly impressed by how well the song works when done acoustic. Appologies for the little splurt of conversation at the end but, well, sorting that out would take just too much effort =P
