Gotta be honest, I haven't heard of half of these artists, but regardless, cool and fuck. Love to get one of those sick colored pressings.

"song - artist" formats should be a punishable offense

If you're gonna get this just buy the 1st pressings that are still available. They are still selling at retail prices and will be worth more down the line.

Incredibly, the Jesu/Sun Kil Moon cover might be the worst cover you've ever heard.

the Jesu/Kozelek cover was truly absolutely fucking garbage, even by the standards of Jesu/Sun Kil Moon

Holy fuck. J Mascis covered Waltz #2? I don't care too much about the rest of these, but that's awesome.

Forgot to comment on this when it was posted, but the Jesu/Kozelek cover was probably the only one that kept things interesting in the whole album; Everything else seemed to stay way too close to the original. After listening to the stream a couple times through I think I'll have to pass on the purchase. Definitely a couple great songs, like The Fitz'. In fact, I wish he just did the whole tribute album himself...
