Ben Lee Covers Against Me! Album 2007-08-31 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 8 Comments | Australian pop singer has recorded acoustic versions of each of the tracks from Against Me!'s New Wave album and posted them as Mp3s in his blog.
Quote:
A couple of weeks ago I downloaded the new "Against Me!" album "New Wave". I didnt really know too much about this band but had been reading lots of good things about it, and my friend Tegan sings on it. I like to keep myself up to date with whats going on musically in the world, so I checked it out. I fell in love with the album. Really. Like, couldn't stop listening to it. As heavy and gnarly as it sounds at times, it is unmistakably a pop masterpiece. Listening to it on the way to Australia, I wondered to myself how these songs would sound acoustically.
A couple of days later I was on a flight from Sydney to Melbourne and had the thought "I'd love to cover this album." The whole thing. Beginning to end. So I did.
Anyway, here are the results. If you already know the original album, I hope these recordings shed a different light on it. If you don't know "Against Me!" and like what you hear, go check them out.

Heard about this a while ago. Don't really like the idea.
If he thought NW was so good he should maybe try listening to one of their better albums.This Message Edited On 08.31.07

Well, looks like he didn't listen to ANY album in the last 10 years or so.
And on top of that:
"What a pansy"
Indeed.

I think he did a great job with the album.
Wonder what he'd do with Reinventing...

Ben Lee is a champ, this sounds interesting.
