Comment:
One of four 60 min. tapes. It was 40 years ago today (more or less) that a lot of young girls strained their vocal cords and did NOT hear their beloved band over their own din. Here erstwhile Beatles nut David Peel keeps his candle lit, Alan Copeland does a truly bizarre and brilliant mash-up, the late, great Elliott Smith breaks your heart, the late, great Bill Hicks riffs on the writing of "Yellow Submarine" (too bad I didn't have a good version of that to follow up with), Peter Sellers deadpans his way through a Lennon-McCartney tune, the Pixies shred their way through another. This one has more Beatles covers than the other 3 in this series that I think are actually worth hearing (Cornershop, Bongwater, Cash, Smith) because the artists were able to put so much of their own personality onto the tune. Oh, I guess I have to include the Chipmunks on that list too then.
Feedback:
Uhm...I don't know of a song called "the beatles", but is Daniel Johnston's track his cover of "I Saw Her Standing There" from Hi How Are You?
Nice mix. Is that David Peel the same guy who had a band in the 70s called "David Peel and the Lower East Side"? Saw him perform once in NYC. The bartender told me on the side, "Even Peel will admit he only knows 3 chords."
"The Beatles" is from DJ's "Yip/Jump Music" album. His cover of "I Saw Her Standing There" was released as a single - it's not on my vinyl copy of "Hi, How Are You?" (perhaps it's on the cd?). Yes, that is the one and same David Peel of Lower East Side "fame."
Think I like this one best. "Everybody wanted to be the Beatles."
pretty nice serie
