(well, if I did all the classic/duds, why need a thread make?)

I don't know 'Jungle Rock' or 'This Perfect Day'. I can't think of any real duds of those I've heard. 'Kimble' and 'I'm Going To Spain' are far and away my favourites.

'Lost In Music- ahhh'

Classic, natch.

The Real Old Fall Covers Thread (Formerly Hester On The Grout):

Fall Covers

I thought this was a thread for when bands cover Fall songs, like the Fiery Furnaces' "Winter" (classic!)

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Monday, 29 March 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i dont really like any of the covers that much (or if i do, i prefer the original in those cases)

as for covers of fall songs, that might be more interesting. i dont know of any that are good though. i didnt like the fiery furnaces cover of winter at all (although Winter is my favourite fall song, so perhaps it would be harder for me to like a cover of that)

Dymaxion did a fantastic rendition of "US 80s vs 90s" (did I get the title right? I dunno) which for my money is The Best-ah Cover of the Fall-ah, Ev-ah . . .

This Perfect Day is a splendid cover in that case. It always sounds like I'm on something. Well, I guess.

I can't think of any really great Fall-covers, but Two States by Pavement almost would make the list.

awww I love "Jungle Rock"!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 29 March 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I loved "Strychnine" too!

personally I can't imagine a cover OF the Fall working, unless it was one of their atpyically lyrically succint ones, like "Frenz" (which is actually something I tried to get a band I was in to cover). "The Classical" was wack and though I haven't heard the Fiery Furnaces version, like Gareth says "Winter" is such a fave that I can't imagine I'd like a remake.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 29 March 2004 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

"The Classical" was wack

Pavement's I mean. They left out the dirty words!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 29 March 2004 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

fiery furnaces cover of "winter" is very unlikeable

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 29 March 2004 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

their cover of 'shut up' is the high point of 'middle class revolt' for me

also 'war'

ultra klassic covers of the fall - god is my co-pilot's asphyxiating take on "totally wired" & saint etienne doing "choc-stock"(!!!).

I like "mr pharmacist", "lost in music", "black monk theme pt 1". need to hear more, but the only tracks where I know the originals are the chic & the lee perry covers so um.

― etc, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

"Choc-Stock" is insane! etc OTM
