Contortions - Running Up That Hill

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Monday, 9 June 2003 18:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

there is an ongoing movement to convince lightning bolt to do "Wipeout"

Sleater-Kinney doing the Shangri-La's songbook.

look at nabisco's great resolution to current luda-prefuse tensions - proposed in the oh two!

I read once that Trey Anastasio tried to convince the rest of Phish to cover My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" for one of their Halloween complete-album cover shows, and they compromised on the Velvet Underground's "Loaded" instead.

Joan Jett--> Tube Snake Boogie

She already did "Tush" on "The Hit List."

But how do you top reality on a planet where Bob Dylan plays "Brown Sugar" and Dolly Parton sings "Stairway to Heaven"?

The White Stripes need to cover absolutely anything by Billy Childish. Wait, that's too obvious. Alternatively, today I was singing some song thinking how much it sounded like a Childish song, but I can't remember it now. D'oh.

Yngwie Malmsteen covering Half Japanese's "Dream Date"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 9 June 2003 22:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

the justus kohncke cover of "witchita lineman" is like something i'd come up with on one of my better days

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 9 June 2003 22:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Haha! If true, my respect for Anastasio grows greatly. What a missed opportunity.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 01:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

"'Loveless' is the best album recorded in the '90s," Anastasio said. "History will tell, and 20 years from now that album will be considered a complete classic, while a lot of the albums that are real popular today will have been forgotten."

He also plays "Only Shallow" in his solo band.

Janis Joplin-->Derek & the Dominos, "Layla"
Jimi Hendrix-->Prince, "Sign O' The Times"
Beatles-->Husker Du, "Makes No Sense At All"
Elvis Presley-->Bruce Springsteen, "Fire" (better late than never)
Andrew W.K.-->ABBA, "Mamma Mia"

― Chris Clark (Chris Clark), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 05:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Andrew WK needs to collaborate with Quintron for a Van Halen cover.

Sleater-Kinney doing the Shangri-La's songbook.
-- Charles McCain (deanmartinlive...), June 9th, 2003.

c.f. every lame, inaccurate and insulting review of us...

― kate (kate), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 12:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Enya --> Anal Cunt, "Pottery's Gay"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 25 June 2003 02:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

Beta Band--> Stockholm Monsters, "Five O'Clock"

― Adam A. (Keiko), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 02:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Nine Inch Nails doing the Police's "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"
(I can already hear Trent licking his chops for the "their Logic ties me up and Rrrrayyyyypppppeeeezzz me!" line.)
The only thing scarier than that would be Sting doing NIN covers. (Imagine Gordon Sumner positing the notion that he would like to fuck you like an animal and feel you from the inside.)

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 26 June 2003 02:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

three months pass...

Annie Lennox --> Wesley Willis's "They Threw Me Out Of Church"

the Durutti Column ---> Kraftwerk "Autobahn"
Portishead ---> the Cure "One Hundred Years"
Tool ---> Japan "Sons Of Pioneers"

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 01:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

A cover I actually did hear in a dream once:

Jimmy Saville --> "Put away" by the fall.

(It was on the black Columbia label, 'fact' fans)

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 07:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz ---> Exploited Barmy Army (the Exploited)

Aaliyah ---> Only Shallow (MBV)
The Rapture ---> Our Love (Donna Summer)
The Prodigy circa 93 ---> Throw Ya Gunz (Onyx)
The Postal Service ---> Waterfalls (TLC)
Rancid ---> Get Busy (Sean Paul)

― Tom Breihan (Tom Breihan), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Primus doing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." That's something that I would have liked to have heard in 1993, at least.

Bjork covers Ween's "Pork Roll Egg & Cheese"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 14:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

one month passes...

the Strokes ---> Eno "Third Uncle" à la Bauhaus
The Bauhaus version of the song has that Strokes shuffle to it, and it's not that much of a stretch to imagine Julian Casablancas deadpanning "there were tins, there was pork, there were legs, there were sharks" or whatever the words are.

― Schwingung (Damian), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:46 (twenty years ago) link

The Stereophonics ---> Missy Elliot's "Get Ur Freak On"!!!!!
Kraftwerk ---> Adam and the Ants "Kings of the Wild Frontier"!!!!!!

Radiohead ---> Ultravox "The Thin Wall"!!!! (Well, it'd be interesting, anyway!!!!!)
Andrew WK ---> Dizzee Rascall "Fix Up Look Sharp"!!!!!!
Michael Jackson ---> Thin Lizzy "Don't Believe A Word"!!!!!!!
The Stereophonics ---> Tangerine Dream "Rubycon pt 1"!!!!! (At least it'll give Kelly's voice a rest!!!!!!)
Erm, I'm out of ideas!!!!!

― Old Fart!!! (oldfart_sd), Thursday, 27 November 2003 13:40 (twenty years ago) link

six months pass...

James Brown circa '67 ---> Bob Dylan, "Ballad of a Thin Man" (Making it something like "Prisoner of Love." He could've changed Mr. Jones to Mrs. Jones, too.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 11:20 (twenty years ago) link

Adult. – Die Matrosen by Lilliput
Ladytron – Son Of My Father by Chicory Tip

I would have like to hear Joy Divison covering "Hero" by Neu! Tell me that would not be totally awesome.

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Thursday, 24 June 2004 07:54 (twenty years ago) link

It would certainly be quite surprising ...

Wow, I was pretty fucking weird two and a half years ago. I have since refined my desire to hear a discofied cover of "Welcome to the Jungle" done completely a'la Gamble/Huff. That Slash echo-chamber guitar intro would sound murderous as an R&B string section.

I have also decided (thanks to a reminder of said song's existence via VH1 Classic) that The Alan Parsons Project's "Don't Answer Me" needs to be covered by the Beta Band as a proper farewell single.

― What's this place, Biblevania? (natepatrin), Thursday, 13 January 2005 02:52 (nineteen years ago) link

What I want to hear:

Carole King > Todd Rundgren's "I Saw the Light"

Destiny's Child > Steely Dan's "Show Biz Kids"

Franz Ferdinand > Wings' "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five"

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:00 (nineteen years ago) link

comets on fire ----> fraction's "eye of the hurricane"

Others I'd like to hear:

Fiona Apple > "Mr. Bojangles"

Marilyn Manson > "Pop Muzik"

Natalie Merchant > "Road to Nowhere"

Courtney Love and Billy Corgan > "Whenever I Call You 'Friend'"

Nina Simone > Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Makin' Love"

Terence Trent D'Arby > "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You" (or, indeed, the entire Here, My Dear album)

Alison Moyet > "Softly Whispering I Love You" or Dusty Springfield's "Just a Little Lovin'"

Three Dog Night > Bowie's "Fame" (imagine harmonies on this)

Janis Joplin - "You Can't Always Get What What You Want"

R. Kelly, "Shower the People"

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Pretty sure I answered this on another thread, but once again: I'd LLUUVV to hear My Bloody Valentine cover "Stay Awhile" by The Bells. Or if that's too obscure,..."Seasons In The Sun"! (But actually that'd be better suited to a Jesus & Mary Chain interpretation.)

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Monday, 17 January 2005 21:20 (nineteen years ago) link
