As one of the B-sides to their great “The Last Goodbye” single, the Kills have taken on a big one: The beyond-classic Velvet Underground stunner “Pale Blue Eyes.” The wastrel-rock duo give the track a nicely bluesy read, and you can hear the result below.
The single version of “The Last Goodbye” is out now on Domino.

I was just concerned about Lou Reed. We don’t want to make Lou Reed cry, do we?
This comes up in the sidebar as “The Kills Cover Velvet…,” on my browser, and though I figured it was VU, part of me perversely hoped the headline was “The Kills Cover Velvet Revolver”
Alison could totally do Big Machine though.
This came out so long ago! I’m glad it’ a B-side now, though. What a classy single.
