This is such a cool idea! I can't wait to hear some of these. Album is available Nov. 15th. Here's the full track listing:
Pop Goes the World (Men Without Hats) – The Burning Hell
In Contempt of Me (Jr. Gone Wild) – Corb Lund
What Was Going Through My Head (Grapes of Wrath) – Great Lake Swimmers
Daylight (The Nils) – Owl Mountain Radar (Jim Bryson and Chris Page)
I Will Give You Everything (Skydiggers) – Bry Webb (of the Constantines)
The Lines You Amend (Sloan) – Forest City Lovers
Happens All the Time (Eric’s Trip) – Light Fires (Gentleman Reg and Ohbijou's Jamie Bunton)
Grace, Too (The Tragically Hip) – Selina Martin with the Faceless Forces of Bigness
Too Cool to Live, Too Smart to Die (Deja Voodoo) – Mark Davis and Lorrie Matheson
Your Sunshine (Hardship Post) – Jill and Matthew Barber
North Window (The Inbreds) – Cuff the Duke
Throw Silver (Mecca Normal) – Hidden Cameras
Buddah (Al Tuck) – Snailhouse
Odette (Circle C) – Veda Hille
Teenland (Northern Pikes) – Andrew Vincent
Bound for Vegas (Art Bergmann) – Geoff Berner
Shaved Head (Rheostatics) – Neil Haverty (of Bruce Peninsula)
When You Know Why You’re Happy (Mary Margaret O’Hara) – Little Scream and Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire, Bell Orchestre)
We Got Time (Bob Wiseman) – Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene)
I've never heard of Selina Martin or the Faceless Forces of Bigness. But I'm looking forward to hearing their take on "Grace, Too". And the Great Lake Swimmers covering a Grapes of Wrath song? Awesome.

Selina Martin is awesome. She's a friend of mine, a great talent, lovely voice, and really nice person. I'm curious to hear her version of Grace as well. Anyone looking to familiarize themselves with Selina she's got many youtube vids up. She also did a wicked cover of Rush's "Spirit of the Radio" on her latest disc "Disaster Fantasies".

I will never get that 1:08 back...that is all I could take!
want to be a nobody without peer
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone

Yikes. I like the singer's voice, but the music is awful.

It would be perfect background music here.

That was, by far one of the worst musical experiences of my life!
