The covers mx is one of the staples of mixtaping. Here are some i enjoy...and i think that's about all i have to say here.

tracklist

1	John Zorn : lonely woman
	Originally written by Ornette Coleman (at least i'm pretty sure, he was reportedly very opposed to performing [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 9 from Naked City Length: 00:02:45 Year: 1990
	Track Description: Originally written by Ornette Coleman (at least i'm pretty sure, he was reportedly very opposed to performing standards). Zorn sped this up and it comes out even cooler...which is pretty hard to do, i'd say. SHOW LESS
2	Swing Kids : Warsaw
	Originally by Joy Division. I'd saythis is relatively high on my list of favorite covers ever...ju [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from Discography Length: 00:02:02 Year: 2002
	Track Description: Originally by Joy Division. I'd saythis is relatively high on my list of favorite covers ever...just awesome. SHOW LESS
3	Minor Threat : 12XU
	Originally by Wire. I guess a good amount of people don't know this is a cover, and some people thi [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Complete Discography Length: 00:01:03 Year: 1989
	Track Description: Originally by Wire. I guess a good amount of people don't know this is a cover, and some people think it's about gay-bashing. Lollerskates. SHOW LESS
4	Killout Trash : I've Got Straight Edge
	Originally by Minor Threat. As this is a covers mix, i thought it essential to include at least one [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 2 from Most Wanted Worldwide Length: 00:04:15 Year: 1997
	Track Description: Originally by Minor Threat. As this is a covers mix, i thought it essential to include at least one song by one of the bands doing the covers, being covered. It's the whole self-referential sort of thing that i'm big into (see Fellini's 8Â½ for more information). So that's done here, and later on in this tape as well. But here Killout Thrash does a very strange and abstract avant-punk version of one of the classic hardcore anthems. SHOW LESS
5	Sonic Youth : Freezer Burn / I Wanna Be Your Dog
	Originally by Iggy and the Stooges. I can't really explain how cool this cover is. It's probably my [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 3 from Confusion is Sex / Kill Yr. Idols Length: 00:03:39 Year: 1995
	Track Description: Originally by Iggy and the Stooges. I can't really explain how cool this cover is. It's probably my favorite Stooges song to begin with, but this cover is just so amazing, when Kim Gordon just starts howling "Now i wanna be your dog!" it's wonderful. SHOW LESS
6	Gayrilla Biscuits : Fags Like You
	Originally by Sick of it All...sort-of. Honestly, i made this mix just so i could have a valid reas [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from Demo Length: 00:01:03 Year: 0000
	Track Description: Originally by Sick of it All...sort-of. Honestly, i made this mix just so i could have a valid reason for using a Gayrilla Biscuits song on a mix. For those of you not into hardcore, allow me to explain. Gorilla Biscuits were a hardcore band in the late eighties, and their breakup led to the formation of three of the most prominent acts to ever be defined as "post-hardcore" : CIV, Quicksand, and later on, Rival Schools. But that is not this band, so just may be considered a relatively irrelevant piece of musical knowledge for you. Gayrilla Biscuits, on the other hand, were a short-lived band that covered classic hardcore songs and changed the lyrics to all be about loving dick. Here, i'll post the lyrics to the original sog by Sick of it All, and Gayrilla Biscuits' interpetation for you to see. "Friends like You" Call me a friend but you stab me in the back you pretend we get along, it's all just an act you always use people to get what you need you take advantage of others to satisfy your greed all you do is take and you never once give don't you have any shame, the life that you live We don't need you, you fucking scum hope that friends like you will never come when things turn bad for you, don't count on me cause I'll turn my back on you as you did to me We don't need friends like you We don't need friends like you We don't need friends like you We don't need friends like you Call me a friend but you stab me in the back you pretend we get along, it's all just an act you always use people to get what you need you take advantage of others to satisfy your greed all you do is take and you never once give don't you have any shame, the life that you live Like you And now, "Fags like You" Call me a friend when you fuck me in the ass You pretend we're partners, but it's all just an act You always use cute boys to get what you need You take advantage of homo's to satisfy your needs All you do is take and you never will give Don't you have respect for this queer life we live? We don't need you, you faggot scum Hope that fags like you won't ever cum When you need a stiff cock, don't count on me Cause I'll turn my back on you as you did to me We don't need fags like you SHOW LESS

	Track 13 from Analphabetapolothology Length: 00:03:03 Year: 0000
	Track Description: Originally by A-Ha. I'm not sure what i can say here...this is just a very well-done and fun cover. I love it. SHOW LESS
8	Jimi Hendrix : Hey Joe
	Originally by Billy Roberts (at least according to Wikipedia). I guess this is anoter song a lot of [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from Experience Hendrix Length: 00:03:29 Year: 1998
	Track Description: Originally by Billy Roberts (at least according to Wikipedia). I guess this is anoter song a lot of people aren't aware is a cover. And i have to say, it was a bit difficult to decide between this one and "All Along the Watchtower" because they're both excellently done. But i decided upon this one, just because i guess i like it a bit better and all that. SHOW LESS
9	The Dillinger Escape Plan : Damaged 1 & 2
	Originally by Black Flag. I'm not a big fan of DEP (too much ripping off Atheist), but i think they [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 6 from Black on Black: A Tribute to Black Flag Length: 00:04:55 Year: 2003
	Track Description: Originally by Black Flag. I'm not a big fan of DEP (too much ripping off Atheist), but i think they did a good job with this, honestly. SHOW LESS
10	Voorhees : Posessed to Skate
	Originally by Suicidal Tendencies. I wanted to stay away from the whole "punk covers" thing...and b [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 20 from Network of Friends Volume 5 Length: 00:02:09 Year: 2004
	Track Description: Originally by Suicidal Tendencies. I wanted to stay away from the whole "punk covers" thing...and by that i mean, punk bands either covering other punk bands, or punk bands doing popular songs "ironically." But i do have a few of the former on this tape, which is what this falls into. But some of them are relatively fresh takes on the songs they're covering, more interpetive...this isn't one of them. Voorhees just knew how to thrash, and they did it well. And that's all they do here. SHOW LESS
11	I Hate You : Glue
	Originally by Society System Decontrol (SSD). While this isn't really a stellar cover...i'd say it' [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 26 from Discography 1995-1998 Length: 00:01:32 Year: 0000
	Track Description: Originally by Society System Decontrol (SSD). While this isn't really a stellar cover...i'd say it's slightly better than Indecision's version of the same song. But the reason why i wanted to include it was the interview clip at the end of it. It really conveys what I Hate You was all about. Interviewer: How do you guys feel about the violence surrounding your guys name? Band member: It's not us man, it's our fans. Interviewer: Just your music motivates people to do certain things... Band member: I wouldn't even say that. It's just them. It's all their fault. Any explanation that would...further he fault as far away from us as possible, that's what i'm trying to get at. Interviewer: I gotcha. It's all good. SHOW LESS
12	Pet shop boys : Always on My Mind (extended dance version)

	Track 1 from Always on My Mind Length: 00:08:13 Year: 1987
	Track Description: Originally by a few songwriters (look it up on Wikipedia if you like), but it was first made popular by Elvis. This is the start of the second side. I think this cover is nothing short of brilliant, and the extended version...oh my. SHOW LESS

	Track 1 from Aperitif for Destruction Length: 00:02:15 Year: 2005
	Track Description: Originally by 2 Live Crew. Just when you thought it couldn't / wouldn't get any cheesier, Richard Cheese ups the ante. SHOW LESS
14	Bastard Noise : Lily of the Valley
	Originally by Queen. So going from Richard Cheese's lounge-music version of a hip-hop song is a har [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 14 from Dynamite with a Laser Beam: Queen as Heard Through the Meat Grinder of Three One G Length: 00:03:01 Year: 2004
	Track Description: Originally by Queen. So going from Richard Cheese's lounge-music version of a hip-hop song is a harsh noise cover of a Queen song done by former members of Man is the Bastard. Why does such a thing exist, you ask? Who thought this would be a good idea? Whatevs. It's amazing, and that's the truth. SHOW LESS
15	spazz : it's up to you (LARM cover)
	One of the relatively few bands that play(ed) faster than LARM, covering their songs. Fuck yeah... SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from split 7" with Ã¶pstand Length: 00:01:17 Year: 0000
	Track Description: One of the relatively few bands that play(ed) faster than LARM, covering their songs. Fuck yeah... SHOW LESS
16	Melt-Banana : Faint Heart
	Originally by the Birthday Party. This is a pretty odd cover. The Birthday Party is a relatively sp [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Release the Bats: A Tribute to the Birthday Party Length: 00:02:21 Year: 2006
	Track Description: Originally by the Birthday Party. This is a pretty odd cover. The Birthday Party is a relatively spooky band, and while Melt-Banana is quite weird...they have an undeniable spunk about them that makes them very far from spooky. So this cover just comes out...well, 17 types of awesome. But still pretty odd. SHOW LESS
17	Discordance Axis : So Unfilial Rule
	Originally by Melt-Banana. So this is the second self-referential sort of thing here. 9 second cove [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 29 from Perfect Collection: Jouhou Length: 00:00:09 Year: 0000
	Track Description: Originally by Melt-Banana. So this is the second self-referential sort of thing here. 9 second cover = pwn. SHOW LESS
18	pg.99 : The List
	Originally by Filth. I don't really like this as much as a lot of their original output, and it sa [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 2 from Document #9 Length: 00:02:48 Year: 2001
	Track Description: Originally by Filth. I don't really like this as much as a lot of their original output, and it says in the liner notes "...We decided it was dumb to record a punk song!" So it's good to know i'm not the only one to feel that way...still a relatively decent cover, but it just doesn't compare to like..."Punk Rock in the Wrong Hands" or something. SHOW LESS
19	Give Up the Ghost : You and Me
	Originally by Archers of Loaf. This cover is ridiculously awesome. I really don't know how else to [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 3 from Love American e.p. Length: 00:03:09 Year: 2003
	Track Description: Originally by Archers of Loaf. This cover is ridiculously awesome. I really don't know how else to describe it. SHOW LESS

	Track 6 from Disintegrated: A Tribute to the Cure Length: 00:06:42 Year: 2000
	Track Description: Originally by the Cure. I don't really like the Cure. They always seemed to me to be a poor-man's Joy Division. But i love this cover. I think Converge imbued this song with the emotion and...dare i say it? Psychosis, that the original lacked. Just...wow. Really something else. SHOW LESS

The true sign of a fresh mixtaper. This badge is awarded to everyone. Don't feel special.

Level 15

Thank you for Richard Cheese. He was made popular by KROQ in Los Angeles. The morning show Mark and Brian spawned him out of the Los Angeles market to make him so popular. His version of Down with the Sickness with featured in the newer Dawn of the Dead. Great work on the mix and I really really appreciate the Cheese!!! Rock on.
