Broc 3 - Cover Me Impressed
Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

I still contend that the Violent Femmes self-titled debut album is as good as any release in the 80’s.

The Original

Blister in the Sun:

THE CLASH of Cover Tunes

Fruity Ukuladies vs. Nouvelle Vague vs. Amanda Palmer and Friends
Fruity Ukuladies:

It takes a bit before these fruity ladies get going but once they do …

Nouvelle Vague:
Amanda Palmer and Guests:

When I die and go to heaven I want to live next door to Amanda Palmer (and she’s single and loves short, bald guys …).

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

Broc 3 - Cover Me Impressed

Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

 

Read it in the Sunday Papers …

A Norwegian heavy metal singer best known for grunting lyrics about murder and mayhem has been elected town councillor of an Oslo suburb – against his will. Gylve Nagell of the group Darkthrone, agreed to run for election in Kolbotn as a favor to officials who needed to bulk up the list of candidates. To deter any would-be supporters, the heavily tattooed Nagell put out a campaign poster that featured him saying, “Don’t vote for me.” But voters did just that, and now Nagell must serve four years as a councillor. “I’m a pillar of my community,” Nagell sighs. “I’m not too pleased about. It’s boring.”

Eight, Eight, I Forget What Eight Was For …

 

 

Kiss Off just might be the best song off of the Violent Femmes self-titled debut album, which just might be the best album of the ’80s!
