while the beastie boys "hello nasty" doesn't quite stand up with their first three, there are some great moments (despite one of the worst album covers ever). one of the best being the los angeles negroes sample at the tail of "the move".

i always said that the world would have been a better place had cyndi lauper had madonna's career longevity, rather than madonna. in making my argument i used to cite that cyndi lauper included a bad brains cover on her debut album "she's so unusual". pretty crazy right? so crazy that it's not true. in reality "money changes everything" is a cover of a band called the brains. i've been searching for the the original for awhile, and last night i finally found it.

pitchfork posted a radar bros. cover of superchunk's "slack motherfucker" last week. it was ok. nothing beats the original, but if you're looking for a cover where the vocals aren't almost completely buried in the mix, fIREHOSEs take is the one to go to:

after the apples in stereo turned into a chikdren's band after their power puff girls video, i find myself forgetting how much i used to love them, and how brilliant robert shneider's production work was. the man did produce "in the aeroplane over the sea". one of his most amazing recordings was this song he release under his solo name, the marbles. this was recorded on a 4-track, in his bedroom:
the marbles "grant me the day"
