Million Miles Away is pretty amazing. That's the only one I've listened to so far. I'm guessing much like The Trilogy "the songs just kept flowing" and he can release all of this stuff without any kind of expectations or pressure.

I love that he does stuff like this. It’s a good time being a fan of a band/dude who’s obsessed with making music.

It's a Plimsouls cover though.

''Razor Baby'' reminds of Midnight Cowboy theme at some point... :dance:

And so it is. I didn't know that, but it still sounded great. I love this little burst of creativity he's having.

Return to Sender set it's all covers... Who, Rolling Stones... :-)

But no "Return to Sender"

That'll come later.  This just might be the hippest things Billie's ever done.  Not the best, but the hippest.  

Oh and I can speak from experience about those southern girls.  They are very troubled individuals and are dangerous.  They really do have nothing to lose.

from what I've been digging around google I've come to the conclusion that the first three tracks on RAZOR Baby seem to be new songs (i could be wrong)

and southern girls is a cheap tick cover

and Bullets are all songs from These Paper Bullets.

I know, right?!   Green Day caused me to fall in love with The Who many years ago.   Oh, it's such a great cover!!!!

The other covers are awesome too!  

kudos to The Who, The Ramones, The Plimsouls, The Rolling Stones and Simon and Garfunkel for writing such great songs.  Oh and Cheap Trick is cool as well! 

Lots of "The" bands there, haha.  Wonder if that was the inspiration for The Longshot.  Hmmm.

Fever Blister is one of the best things ever I love it soooo much. Finally a version by him (Les Skunks does it in the movie but with another singer). The release of these songs from OW is a dream come true for me.

I’m a big Cheap Trick fan and Southern Girls is an awesome cover. Also As Tears Go By and I Am A Rock are amazing picks for covers. 

What a windfall! I hope he puts them on Spotify too but I’m just so glad to hear them.  If he’s not careful, he’s gonna make me so happy I won’t miss Green Day (and I can’t believe I said that but I’m having a good time right now)

I've wanted him to do a cover of Million Miles ever since he performed it on NYE.  I love Southern Girl and I Am a Rock is one of my favorite S&G songs.  

Now if only he would do Dreamcatcher.   :)
