WEIRD SONGS: Due to some unavoidable and unfortunate problems my ISP was having for the past few weeks, it's been hard to update the website. I'm making up for it today though, with probably my favorite (well, in the Top 5 at least) Weird Song. It's a cover of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" by Johnny Cash. Mr. Cash's last few albums were widely acclaimed cover albums and resulted in some of the finest songs I've ever heard (Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails's "Hurt" is also one of the best cover songs of all time). This version of Rusty Cage is somehow all Cash while not getting rid of the hard Soundgarden sound. In two words: It rocks.
