Stereogum reports that Rob Thomas has covered 1979, a version of which you can purchase from iTunes.

Can I assume that this is a studio version? Apparently he gets the chorus wrong. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

He should cover material from TheFutureEmbrace. It'd be funny if he actually made the songs listenable.

I just listened to the 30 second preview on iTunes, and I will be sending a letter to Mr. Thomas so I can get those 30 seconds of my life back.

I thought it would be funny, but it just makes me feel really awkward.

10 years after he first raped our eardrums, the man is still trying establish some shred of artistic credibility.

Die, Rob Thomas. Die.
