Ben Lee is Against Me!

Ben Lee, who's probably best known in Columbus as the guy who sings "Catch My Disease" and listens to Beyonce on the radio, decided he liked Against Me!'s new album so much that he covered the entire thing on acoustic. Lucky for us, he also has every track available to download on his blog. Here's part of his explanation:

A couple of weeks ago I downloaded the new "Against Me!" album "New Wave". I didnt really know too much about this band but had been reading lots of good things about it, and my friend Tegan sings on it. I like to keep myself up to date with whats going on musically in the world, so I checked it out. I fell in love with the album. Really. Like, couldn't stop listening to it. As heavy and gnarly as it sounds at times, it is unmistakably a pop masterpiece. Listening to it on the way to Australia, I wondered to myself how these songs would sound acoustically. A couple of days later I was on a flight from Sydney to Melbourne and had the thought "I'd love to cover this album." The whole thing. Beginning to end. So I did.
