31 covers is a project by Noski of Octofist.

in his own words-

i am a stupid man. here i will basically desecrate 31 songs in 31 days... although the chances are, i will give up a few weeks in. until then, i will try cover a song a day. noski@dieyoung.org

awesome.

i think the ramones tune might be my fav so far. although DIO's Rainbow in the dark and Noski's version of it always makes me cry.

today's tune-

I like this guy, made me smile and while the tracks are thrown together (or so he'd have us believe), they're mixed well and i love his drums. Well worth a listen, I'll really piss off a mate with that Neil Young cover

. Calling occupants???? Kevin Shields on Cough Syrup
