The folks at You Ain't No Picasso have an ever-growing collection of covers by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists that just received a significant upgrade. Now at 75 total covers, the collection features new takes on jams like Aimee Mann's "Freeway," Husker Du's "Could You Be the One," Queen's "Radio Ga Ga," and Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." My personal favorite is the latter, which is startlingly on point. Like, really on point, to the point you'd think a whole covers project existed of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists tackling Tears for Fears tracks.

The others are expectedly great, too, and you can stream and download them all at You Ain't No Picasso.
