So last sumsumsummertime when I was makin' all theez tapes, I put the following tracks by Smith, the Lips, the Dils (the dipsthelils?), the Urinals and Husker Du (not necess in that order) on one COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONALLY before I stuck some song by some someone else on and realized a had broken a sweet thread. This is my imagine of what this tape might have sounded like.
Not the highest of concepts, but they can't all be winners.
My only regret's I just put the Wedding Present's Steve Harley cover on the last mix I posted on this jobbytown.

| 1 | Patti Smith : My Generation (Live) |
|
I don't know which part's cooler: the line PS changes to "I don't need that fuckin' shit/hope I die because of it" or right before the bass solo where she shouts "JOHN CALE!" (y'know, cuz John Cale plays bass on it).

I'n'T's vers. made me 'preciate the bassline on los Beatles' orig. Kinda a deeper, funkier departure for P McC, who normally plays the bass like it's a FLUTE or something.

SICK cover. Only one speaker (passenger side) works in the front of my van, so I know this song best as the bottomheavy hissing wall of white noise you can kinda make sense of over the wind with the windows down.

Moby Grape's is one of my faves, and I dig what Chan does w/ it: It's twice as long as the orig, she plays up the bum trip imagery, and the image of her walking down yr street, naked, if she wants to, is so much hotter than some stank SF hippee in '67.

I like this a lot. Also dig the Pixies and Bowie covers and, if I'm not mistaken, that Camper Van Beethoven cover helped me get into that band's entire catalog. It is indeed, better than it looks on paper.

Loads of cool stuff Not least the Ike and Tina, Camper Van Beethoven and Uncle Tupelo picks. And I really love the Pixies version of Neil Young and the Bowie version of the Pixies. Very cool.
