Last year’s cover song of choice du jour was Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. This year in somewhat of an unexpected surprise it’s turning out to be songs from the Arcade Fire‘s Neon Bible. Here’s five for you, don’t miss the especially amazing acapella version of the title track by Operation Bumblebee, it’s absolutely stunning. Sorry,to keep it to just 5, I skipped over Calexico‘s version of Ocean Of Noise, are there any more I should know about.
