What time is it?

Not Tool Time, but cover time. Today is Saul Williams covering U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday." This is off William's recent The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust. The album was produced by Trent Reznor, and it really shows. For those who might be wondering who Reznor is, he's the one behind Nine Inch Nails. They're an unlikely combo, with Saul rapping and Reznor sticking to his industrial guns. Yet Reznor's touch really seems to complement the anger and intensity of Williams.

Okay, I'm breaking a rule here since one of these isn't a cover (not even from the album I mentioned), but you should hear this anyhow.
