In case you're unfamiliar with the concept, GbA is basically a collection of indie-fied covers of your favorite pop songs. Really there is not a drop of irony, just a lot of talented artists trying their hand at the songs you'd least expect, but in a fun celebratory way, not a mocking, condescending way.
Besides, who wouldn't want to hear Kaki King taking on Justin Timberlake! Or hear Jukebox the Ghost get their Ace of Base on! Also Matt Pond PA actually make My Chemical Romance sound poignant. And best of all, you can stream the ENTIRE album. Give it a guilt-free listen:
And download a track too:

This is awesome! I recently heard Glen Hansard cover Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas.
YES. I needed that Max Vernon cover in my life like whoa. Thanks for posting this!
Shara Worden is easily my favorite female vocalist. Thanks for posting the mp3!
