And a Bright Eyes side project, The Desaparecidos, have been caught doing a a cover of Spanish Bombs (via)





And to top off Joe Strummer's Birthday, Hellcat Records has announced plans to re-issue all three of the Mescaleros-aided solo albums Strummer released for the label (see here).

    1. I'm only a very mild Dead appreciator but I really love what Weir adds to this version.
