The A.V. Club over at the Onion has been running an amazing series of cover tunes. Some of my favorites are Ted Leo covering Tears for Fears, Ben Folds covering Elliot Smith, and now, a band I will now get into because of this, Wye Oak covering The Kinks' "Strangers."
Enjoy the badass chick guitar solo. Well done.
