Ryan Adams Covers Foo Fighters

Ryan Adams has a penchant for doing terrific cover versions of songs I love/like.  And, well, he's done it again.  This time, he's covered the Foo Fighters acoustic redux of "Times Like These."  You remember that one, right?  The one where Little Davey Grohl went from full-throated scream to hushed acoustic excellence?

Adams covered the song recently on a BBC Radio 2 show hosted by Dermot O'Leary.  Yeah, I don't know who he is either.  (Stereogum)

The Who Gets "Honored"

Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and The Flaming Lips will all take part in the 2008 VH1 Rock Honors: The Who.

I'm pretty pumped about this one because I like all of the participating bands. PJ routinely covers The Who in concert, and I'm sure Dave Grohl and Wayne Coyne are big fans as well.

The show will broadcast on July 17. Check your local listings. (Billboard)
