This past year the website AVclub.com produced a series of videos entitled AV Undercover.
This project is definitely among the ranks of other online music video series like Black Cab Sessions & LaBlogotheque Take Away Shows.
Viewers voted on different songs to make the cut, and then each week a different singer or band would choose a song to cover from the list of the top 25 songs.

Here's a little montage of all of the song choices from each week:
I enjoyed keeping up with the song choices each week, but my personal favorites are:
Baths cover LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends"
Rocky Volato and Matt Pond PA cover the Human League's "Don't You Want Me?"

(We got to see Mikey from Bon Iver cover this song when he played with Gayngs in Austin last year . . . nuts)
They also did a series in 2010 . . . so hopefully they will do it again in 2012!
One of the videos was The Swell Season covering Neutral Milk Hotel
(Side note: The lead singer of Neutral Milk Hotel, Jeff Mangum, is from Ruston!)
