Songs of freedom
Never knew that Joe Strummer’s Redemption Song was originally a duet with Johnny Cash? (The Strummer version is one of my favourite covers of all time).

Enjoy the Science – 8-bit Operators tribute to Depeche Mode
It was last year that I first heard Bacalao’s version of Depeche Mode’s But Not Tonight and it’s become one of my favourite covers OF ALL TIME. It’s great, honestly. So I’ve been waiting for the full compilation since then – it was going to be ‘coming soon’, and that seems to have stretched out…

Clash dubs – Radio Dub London Calling and Rock the Dubstah with version! (and a growl about iTunes and Amazon on Linux)
Don’t know how I missed this – Shatter the Hotel, dub versions of The Clash – this one is Dubmatix featuring the ever-excellent Don Letts. CHOON! And it also links in to the GYBO Weekend Challenge I’m running this week (It is Jez CMP’s idea, I won last week with my Fela Kuti/Hot Chip mashup…
