Comment:

Inspired by the legendary Gourds cover that made it onto every collegiate hard drive (1998-2002) via Napster, usually misattributed to Phish, Dave Matthews, Barenaked Ladies, or String Cheese Incident. The next addition was the Jenny Owen Youngs cover, and things kinda snowballed from there. I found great resources in the following articles, and particularly the comments (viva web 2.0!).

Songs #9, 11, & 13 were in my CD collection. I paid for #10 on iTunes. The rest were available free at the various artists' websites or on YouTube.
