Under the covers

So I’ve been lacking a particularly valuable resource for some mix CDs I’ve been working on the last couple weeks–I was actually getting desperate to the point of starting a very simple database-driven site project to cover the need (pun oh so intended). But then I happened to be searching on that Grace Jones cover of Warm Leatherette by The Normal and I happened upon The Covers Project. Best new site ever.
I heard the greatest cover the other day: Elvis Costello singing “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera. Superb.
Ok, maybe not the greatest cover ever. Put it in the category of “songs covered by someone else that sound much better than the original.”
