various artists - No Idea 100: Redefiling Music

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I miss No Idea Records as an active purveyor of punk rock. If the ethos of Ebullition and Dischord informed my politics, then No Idea taught me it was cool to be goofy, never pose out, and have fun.

As their 100th release, they put out this fun lil comp, featuring a fat stack of No Idea bands covering other bands. Pretty straight forward, although the cover choices are inspired. Will you ever again see bands covering Assück, Johnny Cash, Galaxie 500, and Morrissey in the same place? Doubful. Plus, take a gander of the beautiful tri-color vinyl, limited to a measly 1,110 pieces:

Fuck, that's just lovely.

All the tracks are great, but I'm a huge fan of Small Brown Bike covering "Jailbreak". One of my favorite live bands playing one of my desert island cuts; what's not to like? It's dirt cheap to get a copy these days, so maybe you grab a copy.
