#45 and 46 should be acoustic. #47 should be 15 minutes of constant screaming.

If someone could YSI me the "Don'cha" cover, that'd be awesome.

don't know if Xiu Xiu is the right band for it, but someone should absolutely do a creepy male-perspective recontextualization of "Irreplaceable"

two weeks pass...

The Pussycat Dolls cover is classic (jaymc, I can't picture you liking it), I haven't really warmed to the other songs yet.

53. PJ Harvey, "To Bring You My Love"

Still haven't heard it. I like Xiu Xiu more than I used to.

one year passes...

Xiu Xiu's cover (featuring Michael Gira) of Bowie/Queen's 'Under Pressure' is the best cover I've heard in years. Mindblowing.

Low standards, huh?

I mean, I don't know, it's pretty good I guess. But a little, I don't know, too straightforward for Xiu Xiu.

54. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" - Otis Redding
