Now if most of them SING in German...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

what, keine Pavement? well, Preston School is as good as it gets , I guess :)

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Friday, 30 April 2004 03:27 (twenty-two years ago)

yah for babara manning, PSOI and chris knox.. dunno about the rest..

― chris andrews (fraew), Friday, 30 April 2004 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris Knox's Hip Priest should be cool.

The Tocotronic song roughly translates as 'Last night I dreamt I ate pizza with Mark E. Smith', I think.

Anyway, I'd like to get my mitts on this.

― Sasha (sgh), Friday, 30 April 2004 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

the PSOI song is on their latest single too

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 30 April 2004 04:09 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not on the label site. I guess after May 3rd, it will be.

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 30 April 2004 07:39 (twenty-two years ago)

this looks like a nightmare.

locust fudge, t'wat the fuck!!

― ddb, Friday, 30 April 2004 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I have only heard of I, Ludicrous, The Preston School of Industry and, surprisingly, The Hector Collectors.

Bands who love the Fall tend to be appalling, unfortunately.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 30 April 2004 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm guessing that's Chris Brokaw ex-Come/Codeine/The New Year, etc.

And Chris Cacavas is ex-Rank And File or one of those type bands,

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 30 April 2004 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Covering the Fall sounds incredibly difficult and somewhat pointless.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 30 April 2004 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I concur. After hearing Pavement's blah version of "The Classical" I'm less than thrilled at the idea of PSOI doing 'Mere Pseud Mag Ed," which would REALLY require enthusiasm.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 30 April 2004 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

though Barbara Manning doing "Paintwork" seems plausibly enjoyable.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 30 April 2004 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Fiery Furnaces did a kickass version of "Winter"

and i vouch for my man Jeff Lewis as well, tho I haven't heard the track

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

man, how did I miss that Jowe Head has a track on this! Dude wrote my favorite Swell Maps song ever, "Harmony In Your Bathroom."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

(ok maybe second favorite after "Let's Build A Car")

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw Prolapse do a very believable cover of "Eat Yrself Fitter" back in 1994-5 in LA.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Best Swell Maps songs: "Full Moon" and "Read About Seymour"

(adopts Lovejoy voice) "oh...they're all good..."

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Lovejoy OTM

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

eleven years pass...

I've never heard this aside from the brilliant takes by Barbara Manning and Chris Knox. Not sure I want to hear the rest. But it brings to mind the question, what are the best Fall covers?

― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 14 January 2016 00:59 (ten years ago)

nine years pass...

Bands who love the Fall tend to be appalling, unfortunately.
Are you sure?
