Mac Attack

If you hated the Fleetwood Mac cover posted yesterday ... you'll totally hate this even more:
Boy George - "Go Your Own Way (Live At Coral Club, NY '04)" (MP3)

Seaweed's ain't bad. It's from the Clerks soundtrack:
Seaweed - "Go Your Own Way" (MP3)

Great trend. Homogenous white boys covering sanitized hippie rock from the 70s!

I'm holding out for the entire Barsuk roster to put together a "Freedom Rock" album.

I've never been so disappointed to be visiting my parents who don't have speakers on their computer. Can't wait until I get home!!!

The Boy George version is one the most atrocious things I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.

I always hold my breath when someone attempts covering a masterpiece...

At a show at an Arizona university in 1991, the holy trinity of power pop (Jellyfish, Posies, Redd Kross) played together and all did this song as a finale. Jellyfish had been doing it for the whole tour.

Speaking of great duets, does anyone know a link to an mp3 of Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds doing "Careless Whispers"? WAY good a couple of nights ago but it looks like they've been doing it for awhile on tour.

Wilson Phillips did a version in an album of covers last year and I have to say it was really good--hushed and meditative.

yeah, i was thinking about the NOFX version which contains the twist on the lyrics like:

"if i could baby i'd give you my socks..."

classic.

well, not really.

but funny, at least.
