So sick. Maybe the best thing put to record by any drummer, ever.

Mississippi Nights is GONE? damn. Saw some great shows there: X, Jonathan Richman, Television... (I went to Mizzou for a few years in the late 80's, early 90's)

Fill in the Blank II -Best cover Songs/Versions
PopTodd replied to dagwave's topic in Someone Else's Song
Only good GnR cover is their take on: Fear - "I Don't Care About You" because I actually believe it. -
Thanks, pifin! I updated the page again, with the first half of songs being me and my bands covering others, and the second half being other folks covering my songs. Seems like a thing.

I have updated my MUXTAPE page with old bands' covers of: Prince - "When Doves Cry" (noise-rock version) Naked Raygun - "Rat Patrol" (straight-forward, but faster) Del Shannon - "Runaway" (just an excuse for me to play the organ solo on guitar) HERE: http://www.hoponpop.muxtape.com

Fill in the Blank II -Best cover Songs/Versions
PopTodd replied to dagwave's topic in Someone Else's Song
"I Want You To Want Me" - Dwight Yoakam works surprisingly well. And just goes to prove that a great song is a great song, no matter what genre you shoehorn it into. -

A Thread for Musical Blasphemy you Truly Believe
PopTodd replied to hardwood floor's topic in Someone Else's Song
Agreed. On record, but I have seen them live, and their reputation for amazing live shows is NOT just hyperole. -
They are all too young to have had their tastes warped by the sewage line. Pure good taste. Nice.

I was listening to John Cale - Paris, 1919 this weekend. And, all weekend after that, both of my kids were walking around singing to themselves: "You're a ghost la la la la..." And were asking me questions about the song. My oldest also informed me: "Dad, I want that song on my iPod." And, it was not an intentional exposure, I was just listening to the album whilst folding laundry, when they heard the song and poked their heads in... the song having piqued their interest.

Anyone ever see these earlier musical legends in conert?
PopTodd replied to remphish1's topic in Someone Else's Song
I saw a legend that I had no idea was a legend until he started playing: Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham They opened for Nick Lowe about 10 years ago when I saw him at the Park West (Chicago) and, although their names sounded familiar, I had no idea what I was in for. You may know Spooner from Neil Young's Harvest band. But Dan is the songwriter who brought you such classics as "Cry Like a Baby" (The Box Tops), "Cry Like a Man" (The Purify Brothers), "Dark End Of the Street" (Aretha Franklin/The Commitments/Flying Burrito Brothers), "Do Right Woman/Do Right Man" (Aretha Franklin), and too ma -
Wish that I had access to YouTube. Damn.

I'm digging that, too! Very nice work. I really enjoy the slide; nice and spacey. And the "25 or 6 to 4" cover is hillarious! Sound like something that I would have done when I was 16, too. (And you and I are the same age, pifin. So, the same timeframe.)
-
Nice version, Lam. I'm curious as to how many folks are actually listening to these, or is everyone just posting their links and then staying away? Now I gotta go listen to more folks.
-
This is my solo/acoustic version of Dan Penn's "Dark End Of the Street". Starts a little shakey, but I settled down. And, there was somebody else who covered one of MY songs: "I Do". That was kinda cool. (My original is more along the lines of Everly Bros by way of Nick Lowe.)
