A while ago Boing Boing posted about folk covers of punk classics:

Boyhowdy sez, “The folk covers of Straight to Hell I compiled last year were so well-received by your readers, I thought you might also be interested in this week’s entry, which compiles folk and acoustic covers of more songs from Punk’s first and second waves. From banjo-tinged Stooges covers to countrified Blondie, singer-songwriter Bad Brains covers to smooth and ghostly Clash transformations, there’s likely something here for everyone. Especially fun for uke-fans: a cover of Ramones classic I Wanna Be Sedated from Allo, Darlin’.”

Don’t miss the bluegrass “Lust for Life” and the king-hell sweet Japanese acoustic “Lost in the Supermarket.”
