ben lee explained why he would take on such an unusual project:
"a couple of weeks ago I downloaded the new against me! album, new wave. i didnt really know too much about this band but had been reading lots of good things about it, and my friend tegan (of tegan & sara fame) sings on it.
fell in love with the album. really. like, couldn't stop listening to it. as heavy and gnarly as it sounds at times, it is unmistakably a pop masterpiece. listening to it on the way to australia, i wondered to myself how these songs would sound acoustically.
a couple of days later i was on a flight from sydney to melbourne and had the thought "i'd love to cover this album." the whole thing. beginning to end. so I did. anyway, here are the results. if you already know the original album, i hope these recordings shed a different light on it."

i think it's a load of bullshit that he didn't know who against me! was before this album came out, come on your in the music industry singing acoustic music and you do not know of against me!? this album is available for a free download on his blog, but you can download from here too i guess...

i don't really think he was saying he didn't know who they were, just that he didn't know a lot about them. like how you can know a band's name, but not know shit about the music they play.
