I fergot the Mister Kite dude's name. He/they also did the runoff track for side two, only on side one. With someone yelling at them for getting the wrong side.
Someone doesn't like the Hindu Love Gods?
Well, the singer is Warren Zevon, the guy who did "Werewolves of London" and "Lawyers, Guns & Money" and "Things to do in Denver When You're Dead." (the movie was named for the song)
I didn't much care for most of the blues stuff, but really liked "Raspberry Beret" and (the Bside on the single) "Narrator," the REM surfy song about wanting to be the narrator on the Jacques Cousteau show.
Which is goofy as hell when you've got Zevon's baritone singing it.
I did mention Yo La Tengo's "Fakebook" in this thread, didn't I?
One of the best albums ever, and it's all covers.
Also, just got Mark Kozelek's (Red House Painters) "What's Next to the Moon?", a collection of 10 moody, melancholy, acoustic AC-DC covers. It's great. |
