Hot Freaks! Today is our final day, completely with our totally secret Special Guest Headliner. Here’s a completely unrelated favorite cover of mine.

MP3: The Polyphonic Spree – Wig In A Box (Hedwig/Stephen Trask)
The thing I love most about “Wig in a Box” is that it’s got the whole duality of Hedwig wrapped up nicely. No, I don’t mean that it plays with the masculine/feminine theme that runs through the musical (which it does), but rather that it’s expertly gentle and forceful. Despite being a bit of a headcase, Hedwig is a very sympathetic character, and the Polyphonic Spree do a great job of capturing the emotion that flows from that. Tim’s delivery is only topped by their excellent-as-always instrumentation.
