i can´t realy find a link on this right now, but they just played an old elton john song covered by the streets on german radio and it´s greatness.

I have the CD. My only problem with it is that for a lot of them, the original is vastly superior to the cover, and too many are straight covers.

That said, Mutya Buena does a suprisingly good job of Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car', Maximo Park's 'Like I Love You' is excellent in my opinion and The Klaxon's 'No Diggity' is all sorts of greatness.

I really like the album! It is very hit-and-miss, though. My current favourites are Kaiser Chief's "Flowers In The Rain", Foo Fighters "Band On The Run" and The Streets "Your Song". I thought The Pigeon Detectives slaughtered Power Of Love (in a baaad way), and I don't really like Girls Aloud's Teenage Dirtbag.

Hit and miss, but worth the purchase/torrented acquisition.
