Right now I'm really digging Sublime's cover of Scarlet Begonias (Grateful Dead) and Iron & Wine's cover of Such Great Heights (Postal Service).
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
Never heard that! And I didn't know 'Dead Souls' was a Joy Division cover. Ooops.
Well I don't know if they ever recorded it, but I heard Audioslave play "Seven Nation Army" at Lollapalooza and it was awesome. There may be a bootleg floating around out there.
Oh and yes, Dead Souls is by Joy Divison. The NIN version was recorded for the Crow soundtrack because the author of the comic book was a big Joy Divison fan. The orginial is pretty good too.
