When I found that video of Tav Falco, I didn't know (remember) who played the original, but I just thought that I've heard that tune by someone somewhere.  I didn't even know who is Wanda Jackson (except her name), but now I found why I've heard it, because I have "Born Bad" volume one!!!

@Dead Boy, would be the Tav Falco your favorite? :)

This is good too, very different from the original. D.

Another song which is been covered to death is "Funnel of Love". Such a killer song!!
Extremely hard to say which is the best version or best cover. 
The original? Maybe unbeatable!  Or the one with Lux and Ivy?
I love the one from The Fall as well!  So a great version!
God! There are so many fantastic covers!..  Any favorite out there?

You right!
I admit i had to peep in youtube to hear at the original again, but no dubt, the UKJ cover is just great!.

Yeah, probably i´ve just mix up the title..

My memory is loused up, sometime.
For decades i´ve been thinking i´ve seen Nirvana only once in Chicago ´91 and just recently i discovered that they came to play ´89 in the place i was working in Berlin and on top of that, we were sleeping in the same flat and having party together.. just gone! :(

i COULD SEE THE CRAMPS DOING "JUNGLE"....We are all faltering , somehow , in our musical memories. I'm sure I saw some great bands , some that became well - known , but , beats me who they were.
 
Tersicore said:

Upppssss!!!
Why i thought the Cramps did cover this song?? Shit!, no idea!   (Ok..maybe just smoked too much back then...or getting old lately?). They didn´t!  ;D  but Gun Club did, for sure!!! In Miami, and how!!!  

Yeah, 8 eyed spy were special!! but missed Rudi and Lydia together, somehow....


John Battles said:

THAT WAS KIND OF A JOKE , BECAUSE "STRAY CAT STRUT" DOES SOUND LIKE IT WAS LIFTED DIRECTLY FROM " BLANK GENERATION". DID GUN CLUB DO "RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE " , TOO? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE CRAMPS DOING IT.....LUX WAS A BIG CCR FAN  , THOUGH. EIGHT EYED SPY (W/LYDIA LUNCH) DID SOME COOL COVERS , LIKE "LIGHTNING'S GIRL" (NANCY SINATRA) , MAINTAINING MY COOL (SONICS) , DIDDY WAH DIDDY (CAPT. BEEFHEART'S VERSION.) , TOO. YOU KNOW , RUDI BRIEFLY PLAYED IN A MORE BLUESEY BAND CALLED THE DEVIL DOGS WITH LYDIA.  I THINK THEY ONLY DID A EUROPEAN TOUR. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANY RECORDINGS TURNING UP.

When it comes to covers, this will always remain one of my favorites.

I care because I can get 12-15 bucks each for their lps! That's my extent.

I'm decades past caring about The Violent Femmes , but , this has GOT to be the better of the two , tho' he sounds like he's taking it seriously.....

I like the cover better for sure on this one.

Dead Boy said:

Violent Femmes - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me

I haven't heard the whole of the original, but I'm pretty sure this cover beats it.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN JR. HIGH , EVERYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW SANTANA WAS GOING TO PLAY AT SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS , PRETTY MUCH AN IMPOSSIBILITY AT THE TIME , BUT , IT TURNED OUT TO BE SANTA ESMERELDA.

 ERIC BURDON SAID HE MET NINA SIMONE , AND SHE SAID "SO YOU ARE THE WHITE TRASH MOTHERFUCKER WHO WENT AND TOOK MY SONG ! (AS IF SHE WROTE IT.)", AND HE REPLIED , "YEAH , AND BECAUSE OF THAT , YOU'VE GOT ALL OF EUROPE WAITING TO SEE YOU. IF YOU OWN UP TO THE SONGS YOU TOOK FROM ANGOLA (PRISON) , I'LL OWN UP TO TAKING THAT SONG FROM YOU!". AFTER THAT , HE SAID , SHE LOST THE ATTITUDE , AND THEY WERE FRIENDLY.       IT WAS STILL AT A TIME WHEN GETTING COVER SONGSOUT WAS OFTEN CRUCIAL TO YOUR OWN CAREER.....YOU COULD STILL HAVE TWO , THREE , MAYBE EVEN MORE  VERSIONS OF THE SAME SONG HIT THE CHARTS.

"Please don´t let me be Misunderstood" is the song i like less by Nina Simone, i guess. 
but comparing the two covers by the Animals and the one by Santa Esmeralda, i would dare to say, although i´m not a Disco fan, i like the Santa Esmeralda a bit more.

Hi Bazza...do you still have a program on ModRadio?

Marv Gellman, Beachnuts drummer/singer--Iconoclastic Life, Nature's Company

or.......who is the most passive aggressive, the rhythm guitarist or bass player?

Wobbly Lamps second 7" is now available, check out my post in Trading Post for more info. They are also playing day three of the London Garage Fest on 31st March for Dirty Water.

YES!!!!

The initial artists set to play The Ponderosa Stomp were just announced.

Of most interest to many folks here are The Standells and The Sloths. It's no secret The Sloths are kicking ass and taking names , raising the bar for reformed (As opposed to Orthodox) Garage bands. The somewhat recently revamped Standells lineup was a bit of a mystery to me.  I'd seen some live footage (Hi , Derek !) , but , did'nt know if anyone , barring Larry Tamblyn , would be appearing at this concert , from the original Standells. Turns out (Yes , I'm sure a lot of you know this, but for those who don't....) , Dick Dodd is back with the group, as is , surprisingly enough , John Fleckenstein , early Bassist for Love , and , later Bassist with The Standells. Fleckenstein went on to become an in - demand Cinematographer (His work includes "Jaws" ), this is the first I've heard of him returning to music.

Ty Wagner of "Slander" and "I'm a No Count" infamy , brings the Back From The Grave alumni (no) count to two . This may be the first time that's happened .

Otherwise , the lineup includes genius Rockabilly/Hot Jazz Guitarist , Charlie Gracie .

Gracie is better known for his Pop/Rockabilly hits like "Fabulous" and "99 Ways".

Maxine Brown , Baby Washington , Richard Carlton , Chris Clark , Richard Caiton , Charles Brimmer, James Alexander , Lynn August , George Perkins , Guanga Dyns , Gino Parks , Spencer Wiggins , Sonny Green , Bobby ("Barefootin'") Parker , Bobby Crown , Eddie Daniels , and Boogaloo (As in Boogaloo and His Gallant Crew ? We can only hope.

THIS IS THE FIRST RUN OF CONFIRMED ACTS . THERE'S  SURE TO BE PLENTY MORE.

I´d like to have some Info about the Surforama festival in May in Valencia! 
Did someone have been there? Is it on the beach, i guess? Sounds like fun!

Yeah it is, but we're up to 74 now. Not nearly as good when you think of all the crap from '74.

I don't even take liking seriously on FB. I feel stupid asking for likes for our band. I should do more campaigning and after seeing some other posts on this topic, I will.

Hey , Glenn. I'm good , thanks for asking.
GRANTED , IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR ME , AS i DON'T HAVE A BAND . I'M NOT MY OWN BEST PR GUY. I USUALLY TAKE GIGS IF THERE'S A MUTUAL GENUINE INTEREST. I don't know that FB would have helped someone like me...If I do have a gig , or am helping somebody else out , I still make flyers. It was more fun , though , when you could post flyers almost anywhere. I KNOW A LOT OF BANDS STILL USE MY SPACE TO ADVERTISE THEIR GIGS OR PROMOTE NEW RELEASES....IT'S A GHOST TOWN ,NOW , OF COURSE , but , I can't believe I was the only person having fun with the original My Space , as welll as getting the word out about shows w/o worrying how many likes I got..
Glenn Barton said:

Yeah. It's getting ridiculous. One good part about the hideous job of hi-volume retail is that I see a few of my FB friends and talk to them in person. Tell them when a gig is coming up, hand them a flyer/schedule (remember those- I think they are still around because they don't require verbal!). It's all part of the general erosion which I have a name for but won't say in print until I have the trademark on it like Pat Reiley (sp?) has on 3-peat. Nyuk, nyuk.

How are you Mr. Battles?

 
John Battles said:

Amen. People who criticized me for not getting on it are now saying they wish they had'nt bothered. Not all of 'em. But , it IS killing how people communicate. Between that and texting , when do people ever TALK , even on the phone? When FB first started , some former friends from college were starting a chat group. They asked one friend I've always been in touch with to join. One of them , a longtime Born - Again Christian said to tell me to get on FB so he could TALK to me. I said , I'll  give him my phone number , if he has anything to say , he can say it to ME. TURNED OUT THE ONES WHO WERE'NT BORN AGAIN IN COLLEGE ARE , NOW , SO , THEY SNUBBED MY FRIEND FOR HAVING A MIND OF HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN PERSONAL BELIEFS......On the other hand , when it comes down to music , there may be reasons to join , but , I'm reading , now , there are plenty of reasons not to. How hard is it to e-mail a personal friend , or , God forbid , call 'em on the phone , if they're not on Face Book , to tell them you have a gig ? We used to do it , all time , not long ago.

Facebook is killing everything.

YOU'LL RECALL , THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT "HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC". THAT WAS A BIGGER DEAL IN THE UK , BUT SOME ALBUMS , HERE , BORE THAT WARNING.....
Like , if you taped , or , later , burned an album or a self- made compilation , probably motivating your friends to buy more music , as often as not, it was , and is , a win - win situation. 
Mole said:

Definitely not killing music as far as I'm aware - but is ANYTHING killing music? If you bypass the dross that passes for music on most daytime radio shows (I'm talking UK specifically here) and ignore pretty much anything on 'normal' TV [esp. those 'talent' shows - Jesus, what a total scam], there's an extremely healthy underground scene. As Kopper mentions, the DIY thing is probably easier now than ever before, and in my experience and opinion, social networking sites [just like this one RIGHT HERE!!!] slot perfectly into that approach. As our man says, you don't NEED labels/promoters etc to be able to put out your own music - what you need is BELIEF.

66 is a good number.

I've never ever been on Facebook. I have a band that does fine without it. I also seem to know about shows, parties, and I am able to keep in contact with my friends all without the help of Facebook.
