I just keep waiting for something to happen in that "Suburbs" cover. I don't know, something like Whitney singing her ass off.

I hadn't heard the "Suburbs" cover before, but I really like it. I guess you have to be into solo acoustic accompaniment to get into it, but as a stripped down version of a good song, it's really well done and brings something new to the song.
