Bad Religion Still Relevant After All These Years

Bad Religion just released their new album, The Dissent of Man. It's the same melodic punk with better-than-average lyrics the band always puts out, and you know what? I'm cool with that.

Bad Religion, Spin and MySpace are releasing a Bad Religion Tribute entitled Germs of Perfection, which will include Ted Leo among others. One song a day (except weekends) is streaming. October 19th should see the whole album as a free download on both MySpace Music’s homepage and through SPIN.com. You can find out more about the covers album here, below are a couple cover versions from Germs of Perfection. Like Ted Leo, Frank Turner doing Bad Religion isn't a big surprise, but I wouldn't have guessed Tegan & Sara would tackle primal punk tune Suffer. Hope there's some more WTF choices coming.

Big Pink and Tegan & Sara

Okay, I usually don't bother posting about artists that are all over the blogosphere. However, these two songs have been stuck in my head, so I'm passing 'em on.

I Am Fuel, You Are Friends forwarded this clip of Big Pink on Jools Holland, and I think it's even more powerful than the studio version. You can download the original version at the aforementioned, pretty-darn-cool blog.



Spinner.com spat out this clip, and again, the live version really made me dig the tune much more. Do Tegan & Sara rock?
