I know you're not crazy about McSweeny's, Matos, but one of their issues had "covers" as a theme & I think Rick Moody covered a Chekov story ("The Egg" - wasn't that Chekov?)

I have also decided (thanks to a reminder of said song's existence via VH1 Classic) that The Alan Parsons Project's "Don't Answer Me" needs to be covered by the Beta Band as a proper farewell single.
