Really old folk songs are a bit of a my favourite thing to re-discover. They are so simple and singable, and also quaint. I also love covers—who doesn't?!— like the Pickin' on series of bluegrass versions of pop songs, or Like a Version, or those anthologies of songs written by one artist and sung by others. So one of my favourite things EVER is when a contemporary artist covers a really old song, like Botany Bay or London Bridge is Falling Down or I Have Decided to Follow Jesus. If you search for old songs you never know who you'll find singing what. And then they get stuck in your head.
Speaking of covers, I've also just discovered Shed Muzak on facebook. Wish I had earlier. I'm so jealous of their fantastic coolness.
