tangara Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 it's a better all around record, yes. that said, there's not a song i like as much as Razor Town, The Magician, or Dress Blues I'd agree with this, though I think "Cigarettes & Wine" and "No Choice in the Matter" are pretty strong contenders.

It is this: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseact...logID=301150068 Sunday, August 19, 2007 WHY I COVERED THE ENTIRE "AGAINST ME!" ALBUM "NEW WAVE" 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 sings on it. I like to keep myself up to date with whats going on musically in the world, so I checked it out. I 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. If you don't know "Against Me!" and like what you hear, go check them out. Nic Johns is the unspoken hero of this tale. He recorded, produced and mixed it and basically made my dream a reality. Hats off to him. Hope you guys dig it. Enjoy! Ben 1. New Wave2. Up The Cuts3. Thrash Unreal4. White People For Peace5. Stop!6. Borne On The FM Waves Of The Heart7. P**s And Vinegar8. Americans Abroad9. Animal10. The Ocean There is a download link if you follow the Myspace Blog entry. Love both Ben Lee and Against Me, so the loss of Tegan on Borne on the FM Waves is ok. Link to post Share on other sites

Love both Ben Lee and Against Me, so the loss of Tegan on Borne on the FM Waves is ok. Wow, I thought it was a joke or something at first. That album really is a pop masterpiece so I could see someone covering it. I just saw them in concert last year, I may have been the oldest person in the room (40) but they were amazing. Have to check out this Ben Lee version for sure. Thanks so much! Link to post Share on other sites
