Tuesday Playlist: Random Covers...

For this weeks playlist it's a bunch of random covers that were basically pulled out of a hat. I find it's hard to enjoy most covers, more so if you are familiar with the original composition and like it. I usually never go into listening to a cover song with any sort of expectations of it being good, and I lay no claim to any of these below being good. Really, in the end for me it's the song that the artists chooses to cover that I find the most interesting. At least then if an artist covers one of my favorite songs I know that they appreciate it as much as I do, or hopefully they do. Anyway, here is 10 random covers songs that to those out there may or may not be good depending on your feelings of the original. I enjoy a few of these, but I'm not naming which ones, haha.

01. Airiel - Blowin' Cool (Swervedriver) [MP3]
02. Melvins - Candy-O (The Cars) [MP3]
03. Sonic Youth - Superstar (Carpenters) [MP3]
04. The Mountain Goats - FM (Steely Dan) [MP3]
05. Arcwelder - I am the Walrus (Beatles) [MP3]
06. Angel Hair - Stigmata Martyr (Bauhaus) [MP3]
07. Rorschach - 21'st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson) [MP3]
08. Shudder to Think - Shake Dog Shake (The Cure) [MP3]
09. Coalesce - Supernaut (Black Sabbath) [MP3]
