Also, skewer me all you want but this is the definitive version of "Final Solution," a huge improvement on Ubu:

yeah, it doesn't get much crazier. like saying that moby had the definitive take on mission of burma.

Hah, that's funny, scott. I wouldn't say this one's definitive, but Catherine Wheel do a nice "... Revolver" cover:

Eat yr heart out, Lou1s.
Years ago David Thomas swung by the UCLA radio station for an interview and I asked him what he thought of the Peter Murphy cover. IIRC, he said it was okay enough but there were two things wrong with it anyway -- "He slowed it down and he made all the words understandable."

murphy version lacks the required teen nerd jerkoff fury. same with the burma covers. though, yeah, i'll take the shoegazers over the wee bald geezer as far as revolver covers go.

the wee bald geezer
That's not a nice thing to say about Roger Miller.

always heard more jeffrey lee pierce in pixies than ubu. in a good way.
Yes! I didn't hear any Gun Club 'til ages after I'd heard the Pixies but it immediately reminded me of Francis' singing on Come On Pilgrim.

I hung out with Frank a bunch when his bass player was Pere Ubu's Tony Maimone, and they sat and talked about Ubu quite a lot. Frank was obviously a gigantic fan.

xxp Simon Reynolds referred to the Pixies as Pere Ubu meets the Gun Club in Blissed Out (you all may already know that)...
