    Wow, Teenage Riot is probably my favorite Sonic Youth song; if that's true that Ed will cover it that would be awesome!

    Edit: Hmm, seems to be an old compilation album after all:

    And the tracks were only "selected", not sung by the respective artists. Still good to know that Ed selected my favorite song, though. :)

    Starbucks was set to release this 4 years ago, then it got the axe when they cancelled their music department.

    No covers, only a mix-tape curated by artists with blurbs of why they picked them.
