Too recent to have been mentioned there: Nels Cline - "Snare, Girl"

Fred Frith has covered "Hits Of Sunshine" and "Karen Revisited" live (Zurich, 2012-10-12).

There may be four billion more, 99% of them unacceptable.

this one is really cool.

these are a pretty cool covers of Diamond Sea, Becuz and Inhuman on violins and cellos. Becuz could have been much better with a different singer though ...


Les Enfants d'Icare - The Diamond Sea
Becuz (Sonic Youth) - Les Enfants d'Icare ft. Liam Morrissey
Inhuman (Sonic Youth) - Les Enfants d'Icare ft. Sabino Pace
