I was surprised I managed to get three in because, generally, Wire covers tend to be a bit rubbish. Although Fischerspooner's version of The 15th is all right ... as is Faster Solex! Drill Drill Drill!

In fact, I could probably nominate a few for worst cover ... The Lightning Seeds' version of Outdoor Miner, Strange by REM, any number of third-rate indie stabs at Mannequin ...

As for Kid606, I'm not sure if it has ever been released. I saw him at The Garage about three years ago and it was the last thing he did. If anyone knows, it would be handy, because I'd like to get it.

Who knows what happens within the mind of Kid 606 and Tigerbeat records in general ?

"The man who sold the world"-Nirvana covering David Bowie on unplugged- really good tune to sing along and awesome bass scales on the chorus.

"Where did you sleep last night"-Nirvana Covering Leadbelly on unplugged-beautifully done especially at the end where Kurt screams at the end.

"nothing compares to yoU"-Me first and the gimme gimes covering Sinead O Connor- Good ol thrashy guitars and makes the tune faster and more catchier. The middle 8 is pretty decent too.

"Close to me"-The Get Up kids covering the cure.

-nice mellow cover with the vocals being an octave higher than the original.

"Message In A Bottle"-Taking Back Sunday covering the police live.

-Brillaint energetic performance and the vocals make it extra special.
