"Hangin' Out On E Street"

For the past few days, I've been thinking about putting together favorites lists for my favorite artists, much like Allison's Weakerthans list. The first that popped into my mind was Springsteen. This shouldn't come as a shock to any of you who know me, or for the fact that I find a way to fit him on to almost every playlist.

This isn't that list, but while looking for some inspiration, I came across a great series on brucespringsteen.net called "Hangin Out on E Street." It can be found here.

From brucespringsteen.net: "In recent years, it has become evident that Bruce Springsteen´s influence has broadened outside of the mainstream rock community. Musicians of all genres have and will continue to draw inspiration from his music. We sat down with a number of up-and-coming artists to get their take on Bruce and how he has influenced them."

So far, the series includes interviews and covers by artists such as Tim Brantley, Serena Ryder, Sara Bareilles, Valencia, Birdmonster, Josh Ritter, Tegan and Sara, Pete Yorn, The Avett Brothers, The Gaslight Anthem, Ted Leo, Against Me!, Wyclef Jean, Bouncing Souls, Juliana Hatfield, Mat Kearney and Nicole Atkins.
