Re: The 'Great Cover' Official Thread
Innerspace Orchestra - One Way Glass I'm just posting something on the Vanishing Twin album and thought it worth adding in this Manfred Mann cover by Cathy Lucas of Vanishing Twin/Orlando and Tom Furse...let's get One Direction on this....my favourite Horror.

Robert Wyatt - At Last I Am Free Robert just ones in on the hollowed out turmoil of the original.
Chic - At Last I Am Free I was once at a funeral and they played this as the casket went through the curtains. I was both a hopeful and terribly sad moment as my friends mother who had caught her self up with a succession of spiteful and violent shit bags and a whole lot of depression and inner turbulence, went off to become ashes. He always remembered her playing this and it's a truly great tune.
Weirdly this just landed on my mat; Autarkic - At Last I Am free not as good as the Wyatt version but full marks for trying

Coil - Who By Fire I remember reading that Leonard wasn't a fan of most of the big covers of his songs but that he really liked this.

Her cover of Trees -The Garden of Jane Delawney is not bad but very pale compared to the magical and IMO far less tied to the time original.

Hopefully no screeching covers of Hallelujah to come... Never liked the song originally to be honest.

A mate sent me this text;
gave a busker £2 to stop playing So Long Marianne. I'm sure she was the same one I gave money to stop playing chi-chi-changes. Jackals!

Eric Random & The Bedlamites - Father Can't Yell superb freeze-dried cover off a really good album on Doublevision. I was reminded of this when digging out some Plurex stuff, since Eric Random has a 12' on the label.

Re: The 'Great Cover' Official Thread
Interesting project. Earlier this year JMC played shows in Sydney and Melbourne to mark the gazillion years since Psychocandy was released.
But not in Brisbane, so Tim of Tym's guitars/records/that twat took my money for a singles club subscription almost a year ago and has not sent me a thing, decided he would record/release an album of Psychocandy covers by local Brisbane bands.
And here it is Psychocandy Brisvegas style.
Some corkers and some not so but interesting none the less.

I bought the Pleasure Symbols 12', their cover isn't up to their own material. Couldn't really get into the others either.
I don't understand the whole 'so far ahead of everyone else in the world thing' from the blurb.
What's the deal with the singles club? I know some preorders are getting ridiculously long and delayed but you've received nothing, not even a 'sorry'?

D, you have to lived here in Australia in the 80s or preinternet, to understand where he's coming from.shadowplay wrote:

Musically we were the other side of the world to everyone, back then it took 6 months for NME or MM to make our shores (unless you were really wealthy and could afford the airmail version which was only a week old.)
And to live somewhere like Brisbane (which back then really was just a big country town in a state where the police ruled and they actively prosecuted consenting homosexuals) or regional Australia it was even more backward.
The city I grew up in was an hour from Sydney and had a pop of over a million people but in 84/85 the "indie/alt/punk" population of that place was about 100-200 people, there were no clubs, venues for alt bands and the local radio was filled with 60s and 70s shite.
Then somehow Psychocandy was released here on a major(ish) label and it was stores everywhere. It was a big deal in such a suppressed place.
