I’ve enjoyed the recent “who else are you listening to” thread. I tell you what, it’s reminded me of a whole lot of good music I’ve somehow forgotten about…hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to the used CD store I go…
So how about this. Propose 3 songs: One the Oils should have covered, one you’d like to see the Remainders cover (the name’s sticking, isn’t it?) and one none of them should ever, ever cover under any circumstances whatsoever (limited to popular music, of course, no opera or anything flaky like that).
Here’s mine:
For the first, “Every Generation Got its Own Disease,” from Fury in the Slaughterhouse. I just adore painful music, but their lead singer is too detached, he doesn’t do this great song justice – imagine what emotional excesses Pete could have wrung out of this one! Complete and utter misery! Grab the Kleenex!
For the second, I’m going out on a limb here and guessing that JM is of Irish heritage, so I’d propose the great Waterboys’ classic “Fisherman’s Blues.” The vocal range is perfect for Bones and Rob & the bouncy beat irresistible. Strictly speaking, they’d need a fiddle player, but what the hell, maybe Jim could just use a synth instead.
And for the last, let’s go with a recent anti-classic: “Who Will Save Your Soul” by Jewel. If I hear that sappy song one more time I’m gonna puke. They played it about every 10 minutes on the local alt station YAAAAAH!
Excuse me - Beth
