177: You Want Her, She Wants You

Way back when in 2003 before the wonderful world of Garageband entered my life, I recorded stuff onto this portable studio thing called a Zoom. I can't seem to find any evidence of it ever existing. Just as well. It was handy... while it lasted. It broke after a few months of heavy use. I just unearthed 4 random covers I recorded on the thing. No real rhyme or reason for these choices. I think maybe I was trying to brainstorm a good cover for Hey Mercedes to tackle. In the end, we settled on "Overkill" by Men at Work. And then we broke up. Man, that would have been fun.

Here's what I found. It's sort of embarrassing and the quality is subpar, but it was fun...

Francis Scott Key (menthol cover)

Giants Chair (shiner cover)

Impossible Figure (jawbox cover)

No One Is To Blame (howard jones cover)

Since i couldn't find a damn photo of that thing, here's an iphone photo i took of Cornelius last week. Soon my review of the show will be here. Soon.



I now enjoy the music of Van Morrison. Man, I'm getting old.

I never knew Shiner had a song named after Giants Chair. Or was its title pure coincidence?

I've been enjoying "Tupelo Honey" far too much for a man my age, but I think Sir Morrison just clicks at a point. Sigh...

PS that iPhone sure takes a lovely photo.

did you know that a hey mercedes poster was featured in Friday Night Lights?

it was in some kid's bedroom...

While that's hardly the kind of press that attracts legions of fans, it's still interesting and fun. :-)

Overkill is a great song. It would have been a cool cover to hear.
