Posted by: Rauser at December 16, 2004 10:45 PMYour podcast is, without a doubt, the best one I've heard. I'm fairly new to podcasts, having been turned onto it by some colleagues. Keep up the great work!
Some punk-oriented covers:
Surfin' Bird by the Ramones
My Way by Sid Vicious (of course!)
ROadrunner by the Sex Pistols
Ring of Fire by Social Distortion
I Shot the Sheriff by the Clash (a classic)
Having my Baby by the Circle Jerk
Viva Las Vegas be The Dead Kennedys
Sin CIty by the Offspring
Video Killed the Radio Star by The Offspring
For an upcoming show may I recommend Jim Carey singing "Somebody to Love" from the Cable Guy movie soundtrack.
