[tone poem]

IMHO, Both TJS And SFK do excellent covers of the Oil's material. I happen 
to love SFK regarldess, their album, 'echolalia' is rich and supurb (ref: 
the gin blossoms) and I like TJS, their album 'the jet age' is pop/rock 
sensibility and is listenable if not likeable. Sydney workers who listen to 
the radio station Triple M would be familiar with original material from 
both SFK and TJS, as they (and the Oils) are on the playlist at a 'regular' 
spot.

Kudos to them for the Chapel gig. I would have loved more oils, but taking 
what we can get, you couldn't ask for any more. Whether or not you 
appreiciete the covers or the bands individually, you have to admire their 
guts for even *attempting* to cover an oils song. (Would *you* do it?)
