some more covers:
the breeders "freed pig" (from the "head to toe" ep). written by lou barlow/sebadoh. the best thing about this cover is that it was produced by j mascis, the target of the songs attack. apparently he heard the breeders playing it in the studio and being unaware of it's subject or authorship, insisted they record it. also, the original appeared on sebadoh's album "III". drummer (when not performing his own songs) eric gaffney refused to play on the recording as he felt the energy of the songs was too negative. this story was confirmed by lou in the liner notes for the album's reissue.

the blood brothers "under pressure" (from the queen tribute album "dynamite with a laser beam") an EXPRESSIVE take on a classic.

and we might as well let bowie repay the compliment with his take on a blood brothers favorite:
david bowie "a little bit me, a little bit you" (i got it off the bootleg "chameleon chronicles vol. 2"). actually it's a cover of the monkees, though written by neil diamond. i'm guessing this is pretty early bowie, before he'd made a name for himself. funny enough that he had to change his name from david jones to bowie because of the already established davey jones in the monkees.

the crust bothers "tuesday's gone" (from the album "marquee mark") stephen malkmus (pavement) and his buddies in silkworm gathered for a one off show as the crust brothers. the highlight was this lynyrd skynyrd cover. i wanted to post a track with malkmus on the lead but his vocals that night weren't his strongest. he chimes in pretty loud on the chorus here however.
