Carburetion Day Covers

This will be the last day for consecutive days of covers. We'll go to a once or twice a week format after this. It's been an great project, really fun, and I want to thank all of you for your ideas and contributions. I will be doing more in the future thanks to your involvement. I will still be posting every day, just to be clear - just more in the previous new songs/reviews/new bands to check out format.

Today is Carburetion Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and I'll be making my annual trip down to the track to kick off race weekend. It's a load of drunken fun. MJ's company is doing it up suite-style, so it's a free beer day. That could lead to trouble...we'll see. Dee and Hans are in town, so it should be fun.



I figured I'd end it with the idea that one of you had. Try and put together covers by current/popular bands of current/popular bands. Feel free to help out. I won't be adding your selections throughout today, but I will do it when I return from the track. I have more than this, but for time's sake we'll start here.
