Drugstore aren't just a great band. They're also a great covers band. They've been tossing acoustic covers into their live sets from their outset, and through the wonders of internet P2P software, I've found a few wonderful artifacts. Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" strays close to the original but adds a hint of country-tonk swagger, much like the kind on the last album's opener, "Baby Don't Hurt Yourself". "Black Star" comes off as melancholy and defiant (think "Favourite Sinner"), ditching the overblown quiet/loud histrionics of Radiohead's version. Best of all is The Flaming Lips' "She Don't Use Jelly", which is somehow more playfully silly than the original. If you didn't think the band could pull off cheeky and cute, take a listen. Why they're so good at this stuff is anyone's guess. My guess is that Drugstore are already so adept at acoustic dirges, so it's easy for them to cover songs with their own signature stamp in an acoustic format. The same logic could apply to Johnny Cash's recent American Recordings III (or any of the scores of cover versions he's done).
