A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

NEXT UP, GREEN DAY COVERING "CLOSER TO FINE:" Yahoo! Music is home to an interesting experiment, which they're calling "Cover Art," in which various artists do covers--some more unexpected than others. Thus far, the collection includes:

• Natasha Bedingfield (whose "Unwritten" and "These Words" are currently guilty pleasures in heavy rotation) covering Maroon 5's "This Love."
• Ray J covering Coldplay's "Clocks."
• Liz Phair and a guy with an acoustic guitar covering Stevie Wonder's "Saturn."
• Jason Mraz covering The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" (bizarrely, as a lilting acoustic ballad).
• Tori Amos covering Jim Croce's "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)."
• Big & Rich covering Madonna's "Like A Virgin."

Worth your investigation.
