We get a little lazy as the week winds down, so let’s check in and see what some other people are writing about during this shortened week…

• Rock Revival lists the Ten Worst Critically Acclaimed Albums Of All Time
• Carrie Brownstein mulls over this question: “What constitutes that subtle difference between a cover tune and merely a different version of a song?”
• Celebrate Thriller’s 25th anniversary with Lightspeed Champion’s cover

• If you dig The Moldy Peaches, then check out Cheese On Bread
• Put that English Lit degree to some good use by dissecting Y! Music’s Playlist of Songs Inspired By Literature

Finally, earlier this week some footage from Dave Eggers and Spike Jonze’s adaptation of the beloved children’s book Where The Wild Things Are leaked onto the world wide interwebs. While it turned out to only be a screen test for the visual supervisor, it’s getting us very excited for the film’s 2009 release date. The film will also feature a soundtrack from YYY’s lead singer Karen O.
