Hey, let's have a fun covers week, why not? This is a pretty great start.

Café Tacvba – Volver A Comenzar
Nirvana – The Man Who Sold The World
Nirvana has been slowly releasing remastered and unedited versions of songs from Unplugged (as well as some unreleased rehearsals). It's bringing back some strange memories for me.
Ricky Martin – Pégate
Is that a twelve string classical guitar? If so, yes please. Oh, it's a cuatro? Yes please.

R.E.M. – It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
all right, for this special occasion, i really wanted to play "darker with the day", the stunningly beautiful finale to nick cave and the bad seeds' equally beautiful 2001 release no more shall we part. alas, except for a couple of blurry coffeehouse troubadours, there were no live performances to be found (i do recommend clicking on the above link in its stead).
barring that, we'll go for the obvious, hackneyed choice (as bS already scooped the blondie cut).
