jenny deserved a vote

I seem to go against the grain on this record, my six favourite songs got a total of 3 votes in the poll. I'd've been the "Jenny" voter.

So, Courtney Barnett is on it...
D'oh! Forgot I posted that Stereogum teaser upthread.
So far, in alphabetical order, it reads like this: Big Joanie, Black Belt Eagle Scout, Courtney Barnett, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires, the Linda Lindas, Low, Margo Price, Self Esteem, St. Vincent, Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio, Tyler Cole, Wilco, and more

Dig Me In: A Dig Me Out Covers Album arrives October 21st, 2022.We’re excited to share Courtney Barnett’s version of “Words and Guitar.” @courtneymelba Listen here! https://t.co/3yDbvw3dga pic.twitter.com/PIhTYDHW2J— Sleater-Kinney (@Sleater_Kinney) September 23, 2022

The nervous, twitchy energy is what made Words and Guitar so great, as well as the complete tonal shift to the pretty melodic passages. Courtney's cover sadly lacks both. It's just kind of... there.

Kind of weird to have a tribute album to a current band by their peers, isn't it?

Eager to hear the Low song but not really excited for the rest (+ actively dreading St. Vincent and Wilco).

Not to mention the overlapping vocals, the absence of which I think might sink a lot of these covers.

The second single of “Dig Me In: A Dig Me Out Covers Album” is here this Friday! Thank you @MissMargoPrice for your amazing rendition of Turn It On, a version which includes an instrument never before featured on an SK song (and we love it). pic.twitter.com/eAwe7ACb5P— Sleater-Kinney (@Sleater_Kinney) October 10, 2022

This is kind of rad.

the Wilco song is the nadir of this one but overall it could be worse
― papal hotwife (milo z), Friday, 21 October 2022 17:56 (one year ago) link
Yeah, that one sounds like the exact same arrangement, so it's basically a karaoke version.
Margot Price's track is still far and away the best one.
