Wig in a Box

So apparently, there is an album called Wig in a Box that is comprised of bands covering the Hedwig soundtrack. When I found this out from a comment on my last post, I was a bit hesitant to get excited, but then I saw who was covering the songs. Now I want it. And bad.

-Rufus Wainwright (The Origin of Love)
-Sleater-Kinney & Fred Schneider (Angry Inch)
-They Might Be Giants (The Long Grift)
-Frank Black (Sugar Daddy)
-Robyn Hitchcock (City of Women)
-Imperial Teen (Freaks)
-The Breeders (Wicked Little Town-Hedwig Version)
-Bob Mould (Nailed)
-Polyphonic Spree (Wig in a Box)
-John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask (Milford Lake)
-Stephen Colbert (Ladies & Gentlemen)
-Spoon (Tear Me Down)
-Yoko Ono & Yo La Tengo (Hedwig's Lament/Exquisite Corpse)
-Ben Kweller with Ben Folds & Ben Lee (Wicked Little Town-Tommy Gnosis Version)
-Cyndi Lauper & The Minus 5 (Midnight Radio)
-Jonathan Richman (Origin of Love--Reprise)

The Breeders, Frank Black, Yoko and Yo La Tengo, and Sleater-Kinney, who more could you ask to cover Hedwig? I'll post more once I get a chance to listen to the album in full. Can't wait!
