I’m debating whether or not I think this is worth getting. Tom Waits and Neil Young are plusses, but John Mayer, Josh Groban and Death Cab are minuses…

So this is an acoustic version of “Paisley”? Yum! I am fond of that particular b-side. And what is “Here They Come”?

Yup, acoustic Paisley. And Here They Come is a cover of these folks:

Maybe I’ll cherry pick off of iTunes.

Cool! I definitely d/l the Ministry tracks and probably Tegan and Sara too. I’ll leave the rest.

I’ll get Ministry (although I’ve got Here They Come from a bootleg), Trent, Tegan & Sara.
Thanks for letting us know!

The Ministry tracks are great, refreshing to hear them. Trent’s vox are a bit weak (breathy) on ‘Fragile’. Was surpised to see Waits with Kronos Quartet, don’t think it suits either of them to collaborate but I could be wrong.

Josh Groban… [laugh]
