Maybe mostly for radiotelescope who has a cool cover of the original song in the office MP3 collection, but anyway: lunchboy's four-part cartoon about Future John Henry. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

(Can traditional folk songs that predate the advent of recorded music have "covers"? Whatev.)

I like to think of the BSO as a big cover band with a steady gig.

I think the reason I reached for the word "cover" without thinking is that this paricular album contains musical reinterpretations of several old American folks songs, applying modern electric and electronic instriments and techniques to the classic melodies and lyrics.
