Oh how I love out of genre covers! What I mean by this is polka rock covers, bluegrass gangsta rap covers and piano ballad covers of angry music. I have always wanted to do a slow, soft, sensual cover of Nine Inch Nails' song Closer. I just think that a sexy crooning of "I want to fuck you like an animal" would be totally awesome. lol.
Check out Brave Combo and/or Hayseed Dixie when they roll into your town.
So, this past Fall Stephen bought me a Sirius radio receiver. I hadn't wanted one previously, because I didn't think that it was worth the money. Once Stephen had his though, I realized that I was wrong. It is totally kick ass.
Today on the way into work on the Left of Center (college-esque) channel, they played a cover of Dr. Dre's Bitches Ain't Shit done by Ben Folds. Now, I love The Gourds cover of Gin and Juice, so I was loving this cover... especially when Ben Folds couldn't help but laugh after one particular lyric.
Here's a version from YouTube. Enjoy.

While not nearly as "out of genre" as these, Johnny Cash's covers of NIN's "Hurt" and Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" are spectactular. The first time I heard that version of "Hurt" was as music for a scene in "Boston Public" of a slow-motion drug-bust. Absolutely breathtaking.
Luther Wright and the Wrongs did a whole album called 'Tear Down the Wall' - a bluegrass version of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album. I remember hitting their show at Off Broadway when it came out and that was a blast!
