Hey Moistworks, what's good? You're looking snazzy today. Me? Fine thanks-- been feeling real mellow since I got moved into my new place. Today I find myself feeling especially quiet, with nothing in particular I want to talk about. So I thought maybe we could just listen to a couple sweet, modern indie rock covers of two great songs by some vintage Matador bands (Sub Pop's 20th birthday donnybrook is coming up, and Sub Pop definitely deserves some feting, but between you and me, I always thought Matador had a stronger track record). One of these covers, I actually prefer to the original, although I'm not going to say which one (hint: "Frontwards" is probably my favorite Pavement song of all time, so...). Apologies to readers who got excited about the prospect of this post actually being about the creature known, Wheel of Fortune "Before & After" style, as Olivia Newton-John Travolta. Maybe next time (but probably not).Labels: brian, covers
