Comment:

man, this was fun to make....my main criterias for selection were: 1.) the song had to be one that i was familiar with already and that wasn't going to be completely unknown by most anyone reading this (therefore, i passed on the 16-minute faust cover that ectogram do - and stunningly well, i might add); and, 2.) the artist covering the song had to have infused it with something of their own sound/flavor...no note-for-note listless rehashes. the teenage fanclub contributions, "interstellar overdrive" and "here comes your man" are a bit by-the-numbers, but they sparkle and grind (respectively), nonetheless. do i get bonus points for the lopsided bilingual symmetry of opening it with "heroes" in english and closing it with the same in german? please?? (indulgent post-post-script fact: the flying saucer attack take on suede's "the drowners" is my all-time favorite cover version. why? well, it takes the original and turns the intent / tone inside-out. suede's version is saucy, sassy and slinky...but in the hands of bristol's finest, it becomes a deeply creepy, crushingly claustrophobic headf**k nightmare. you're taking me over, indeed.)
