If I went to a JG-L concert, instead of clapping after every song I would stand up and do this:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt played a concert in Seattle two nights ago at a small venue pretty close to my house and I didn't even know about it.

He did a cover of Lithium.

A.V. Club has a cool series with bands covering songs in the A.V. Chicago offices. I think my favorite is They Might Be Giants cover of Chumbawumba. Low also does a fantastic job with Africa by Toto.

St Vincent covers The National. Not bad:

Had same thought. The majority was pretty cool, but the solos were just painful.

Yeah, pretty awful. I think they realized that they couldn't get close to them so they just made something else up instead. It wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't stayed so close to the original in the rest of the song.

Van Morrison covering Dylan, with one Jackass of a bassline.

I have no idea who Sarah Jarosz is (well, I looked her up and she's a bluegrass artist), but her cover of The Tourist is fantastic.

not bad, but sort of falls apart in the solos. No one can cover greenwood.

The ending is great.

That was cool -- just wish the sound was a little better. I was just hunting around youtube to see if I could find a better clip and ran into this:
