Marnie Stern Covers "Don't Stop Believin'"
It's fitting that Perpetua came upon this, since it was his great interview with Marnie that framed its significance: until now, the ruler of the CMJ '08, Ms. Marnie Stern, has never learned someone else's song. And she's broken that bit by covering Journey, which is precisely what you do when you're just letting loose at karaoke or just a virtuosic woman looking to blow minds via some cover love. Here "Don't Stop Believin'" gets fully rinsed and reconstructed through Marnie's taps, shreds, and hiccuping punk, making it the best thing to happen to Journey since YouTube.

Now that you have the MP3, obviously the next step is to score The Sopranos finale with Marnie.

is there a blogger conspiracy to prop and hype this girl up? seriously. maybe you bloggers are all friends with Marnie or something. but she is so unoriginal and cliche and she can't sing. stop trying to hype up your friends with no talent or originality.

Slightly off-tune, vocals drowning in fuzz, annoying squeaks and high pitched squeals in the last verse and chorus, a totally arbitrary change of tempo and THREE totally arbitrary changes in production infrastructure ...is this a joke? Plus, Jon Regen covered this song just this past year, a la Marc Cohn, and it dad-rocked -- check it out.
Score = -2

If she reads all these shitty comments and doesn't do the Journey cover album I've been dreaming of, I swear I'm going to hunt you all down and kill you. This is so dope.
