Lips Do Madonna, Mastodon Do ZZ Top for Warner
Black Keys do Captain Beefheart, Adam Sandler does Neil Young (!)

So you know how indie labels love to celebrate themselves? Majors do the same thing, except major labels don't usually have any discernible personality, so nobody usually notices.

But Warner Bros., one of the few remaining major labels, has a roster that includes the Flaming Lips and Mastodon and Against Me!. So when Billboard.com announces that Warner Music Group will release a compilation of new Warner artists covering old Warner artists, some intriguingly batshit stuff inevitably creeps in there. The compilation Covered, a Revolution in Sound: Warner Bros. Records will come out on February 24, and at least a couple of these tracks are likely to be worth your iTunes $0.99.

For instance, the Lips, with help from recent Warner signings Stardeath and the White Dwarfs, covering Madonna's "Borderline"? Or Atlanta sludge-metal kingpins Mastodon doing ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid" with ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons himself helping out? Or, what the hell, Adam Sandler doing Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane"? If nothing else, these tracks should help clean the bad taste from your mouth after you see that motherfucking Disturbed is going to be working its shit magic on Faith No More's stone classic "Midlife Crisis".

Covered, a Revolution in Sound: Warner Bros. Records:

01 Flaming Lips [ft. Stardeath and White Dwarfs]: "Borderline" (Madonna cover)
02 Black Keys: "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" (Captain Beefheart cover)
03 Michelle Branch: "A Case of You" (Joni Mitchell cover)
04 Against Me!: "Here Comes a Regular" (Replacements cover)
05 Missy Higgins: "More Than This" (Roxy Music cover)
06 James Otto: "Into the Mystic" (Van Morrison cover)
07 Adam Sandler: "Like a Hurricane" (Neil Young cover)
08 Taking Back Sunday: "You Wreck Me" (Tom Petty cover)
09 Mastodon [ft. Billy Gibbons]: "Just Got Paid (ZZ Top cover)
10 The Used: "Burning Down the House" (Talking Heads cover)
11 Disturbed: "Midlife Crisis" (Faith No More cover)

I'd check out the Black Keys song. That's about it.

Sandman's "Like A Hurricane" is pretty good
