Disc 33 / 48

I like the way the three awesome-covers discs are kind of alternate reality duplicates of each other--there's a cover of "Have I the Right?" and "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" on each one, and Los Straitjackets show up each time as well. Big Daddy is one each disc as well; "genius" is an overused and under-true term in pop music criticism but I see no other word that applies to their mastery of old rock styles fused to (then-) contemporary hits. They have a new album coming out this year, and you should pick it up.
