Faux or folk?

Meat for men: If someone you didn’t know very well asked you to meet him for a drink at Leatherneck, should you be expecting a medium-rare T-bone with creamed spinach or a German guy named Hans in leather biker shorts and an officer’s cap? A web game called Steak House or Gay Bar addresses that exact question, presenting you with a name and two options. Guess correctly and you win, and get a better sense of what to expect next time you get invited out to Woody’s, Rusty Spurs or the Big Bear Lodge at steakhouseorgaybar.com.

Cover-up: Cover Lay Down is a somewhat copyright-infringing blog that’s dedicated to folky-sounding covers of rock songs, and so much more. The blogger orchestrating the fun, who goes by the moniker of Boyhowdy, will gleefully direct you to bluegrass covers of the Clash, acoustic versions of the Ramones’ most famous tunes, “indie folktronic” takes on LL Cool J, and lots of reinterpretations of Dylan that you’ll have to judge for yourself at coverlaydown.com.
