Nada Surf bring their trademark sense of harmony and musical craftsmanship to 12 of their favorite songs with their latest release, if i had a hi-fi, their first album of covers. Only a group with their wide-ranging and eclectic taste could bring songs from such artists as Kate Bush, Dwight Twilley and the Go-Betweens together into a coherent, intelligent record. hi-fi also includes some intriguingly obscure numbers like Spanish band Mecromina’s “Evolution” and Bill Fox’s power-pop Continue reading Nada Surf Tour & Album Of Cover Songs… Happy halloween, and don’t get pissed if I steal your candy. Also, don’t skip out on your girlfriend to go shoot dope and then call her from the hospital after another overdose, cause she’ll probably be out trick or treating. Translation: be fucking safe. Continue reading Cover songs mixtape – Halloween 2009… The Jazz Butcher, also known as The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy and The Jazz Butcher And His Sikkorskis From Hell, are a British musical group founded by Pat Fish. Their oeuvre is blackly humorous with such topics as Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49, an unrequited crush on Shirley Maclaine, and an ode to SF writer Harlan Ellison. The song “Sister Death” is not about the comic book Continue reading THE JAZZ BUTCHER IS PLAYING PTP FEST 2… Every cover this band pick just seems to get better than the last. Or, better than the last one i found, and since I already blasted your brains with VU covers twice today, Let’s go for PTV covering the fucking Beach Continue reading Psychic TV Tribute to the Beach Boys… Psychic TV performs “Foggy Notion” by The Velvet Underground. Filmed by Howard Wuelfing at WXPN at The University of Pennsylvania for NPR’s “World Cafe” with David Dye on February 21, 2008. Engineered and recorded by Chris Williams. Full audio version available on Psychic TV / PTV3’s “Mr. Alien Brain Vs. The Skinwalkers” on Cargo/Sweet Nothing Continue reading Psychic TV Cover ‘Foggy Notion’… Dude, The Jesus Lizard are touring again! I mean, obviously they’ve already played Pitchfork fest and a couple other shows but that’s all the way over THERE and I’m all the way over HERE. Howcome I’m always like, the LAST to find out everything? You wanna see the reason I’m so stoked??? (Among other things) It’s (mostly) cause of this right Continue reading The Jesus Lizard in LA – October 2009… Beck’s website is pretty bitchen. Back in June he launched a section called “Record Club” that features weekly videos of Beck and his friends re-recording entire albums. The first one is The Velvet Underground & Nico. Here’s what he has to say about Continue reading Beck’s Record Club – Sunday Morning… I liked it better when I thought it was called Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, but it’s not. Here comes the latest reggae tribute from the group that brought you Radiodread and The Dub Side of the Moon. Released in April of this year, Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band is exactly what its title infers – a dubbed out tribute to The Beatles’ Sgt. Continue reading Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band… Ok I’ll admit it. This whole post started here, on You Ain’t No Picasso, but it somehow turned into something completely different so while I think YANP for the Intelligence track that totally slays one of the crappiest tracks on the entire Magnetic Fields’ “69 Love Songs” boxed set, which I love, srsly I do…I have only myself and my wreckless sleep deprivation to thank for the final outcome. Which isn’t very terrific Continue reading Intelligence Announce Tour Dates, C4 Steal’s From YANP… Lady Lay: she’s cute, she’s talented, her voice is delicate and her lyrics charming… she reminds me a lot of a young Cat Power. Lady Lay is a very fresh voice, I’m awaiting an electro track she sang vocals on and as soon as I get it I will post it, should be within the next couple weeks. I’m expecting some great stuff to come from this very talented little gem and if you have a project that you’re working on and you would like to record with her don’t Continue reading Lady Lay – Another Cover of “I Love How You Love Me”… |
