Sonic Overload 11/25/13

Time for one of my favorite shows of the year—the all-covers one and I’ve got a lot of new material this year. I’ve been keeping a running list when I hear a new cover version that would be good for the show. Yes, I put effort into this shit! As always, I didn’t use any tracks from “tribute albums” or all-covers albums. Those occasionally yield something worthwhile but not that often so I stick with doing it this way. Hope you enjoy it...
