Hope you guys find this a fun comp - 30 of my favorite covers. It's a mish-mash of New Wavers covering other genres, other genres covering New Wavers, and New Wavers covering eachother. If you listen to nothing else, at least catch the Born to Run/Transmission bookends...both are absolute rockers. And can you spot the various juxtapositions? Cheers.
