That's a tough time to catch a radio show, but it will be a good one. I'm partial to covers myself. All time favourite - William Shatner's version of Common People.
Oh! Also Easy Star All Star's cover of Climbing Up the Walls. That's a close second.
Hello Sled Island Barb,
One thing that has been really fascinating me of late is Adem's new release called Takes. It's all covers and it is all really great. Everyone from Aphex Twin to Bjork to PJ Harvey. Basically something for everyone.
Highly recommended.
