I am a hardcore believer that if a band/singer is going to cover someone else's track, especially an iconic track, you better have a new spin on it and make it your own. The Flaming Lips do exactly that with this positively EPIC cover of Madonna's song, "Borderline."

It's always cool to see mainstream artists making an effort to connect with their fans on a more personal level. Weezer's Hootenanny tour is just that -- an intimate acoustic set where fans are asked to bring their own instruments and play along with the band.
The footage from today's EPIC FU was taken in Portland during a cover of Radiohead's Creep -- a song which is gaining momentum as a cover song after the recent Price take-down debacle. I'm wondering if the song will begin to take on new meaning when played live.
