5 covers 5/1/08

back in the 5th grade we had music class once a week. one week the teacher promised to play us some of the star wars score at the end of class if we were good and payed attention. what she ended up playing for us wasn't what i remembered. it was star wars, but it somehow wasn't. at the time it horrified me. now, i kinda like it.

meco "star wars disco"

cheap trick "california man" (the move cover) - an early pre-elo jeff lynne song. despite my love of elo, it was this cover that led me to the move.

nick cave and the bad seeds "deanna" (live) couldn't get into nick cave till i heard "live seeds". all their albums should be live. every single song recorded live is better than it's studio counterpart.
