So apparently this album by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (ne Will Oldham) and the band Tortoise was supposed to come out this month on Domino Records but has been delayed until January. The album, The Bold and the Brave consists of ten covers by some pretty famous bands and people from Elton John to Bruce Springsteen to Devo. Yeah. Those are the mp3s I got for you.

Daniel (Elton John)
That's Pep! (Devo)
Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen)

hey thanks for the heads up on these, i stole one and linked to your post. awesome stuff.
Bronson VS God has some of the soon to be released live album.
I've been looking for these tortoise collaboration tracks. Thanks.
thanks for these! i like the lightning bolts a lot!
i have the same problem with this as i do with the sun kil moon modest mouse covers. it's just the lyrics set to different music. good music (i keep forgetting i like tortoise) but when somebody covers a song, someone who speaks no english should be able to tell. like that white stripes cover - completely their own yet instantly recognizable. i hope this collaboration leads to an album of originals.
thunder thunder thunder!
Wonderful, I have been anticipating hearing this for some time. I'm with Rob, I hope this leads to more collaboration between them.
Great! A bit too short? Doesn't matter.
