And a mighty fine tribute......

Just heard this, a new release, and a “b-side “ at that! Brings to mind the eternal question, which is better, the original or the cover? Let’s hear your fave covers.

I'll pay that one blackers. Great stuff. Nick did a similar version but on piano for a while after Cash's was released.

A classic deconstructed and turned into something entirely different. (Not a bad writer either) Try "Just Kids"

That’s ace Blowfly, have heard many overs of that but that is a standout. That Patti has some set of pipes. And Facto, that Nouvelle Vague track is a treat.

To calm things down a bit here is Chris Knox via Yo la Tengo.

Gold, Blowfly, gold!

This is the rare occasion where i agree with both of you, awesome cover by one of my fav bands big Cure fan too...Patricks vid awesome to classic Aussie song.

IMHO you can hear a Cure influence in some really early Dino Jr stuff like this song of Lou's

Especially the start, drum and bass line even some of the guitar and then the Flanger effect at about 2:00 and how Lou sings here.

Fuck! How did I not hear about, let alone be at the show for that My Pal cover? I did see Joel sing it with The Drones at The Tote though. Pretty special.

I find The Cure fair to middling myself, Info. And ol' Lou's a bit of a fop.

Covers are a tricky business.

I'll not hear a bad word about Lou.

Magic Dirt original guitarist played on some of Lou's recordings.

I hear the influence ID

Didn't know Do It was a cover facto.... so his best song wasn't his song.

Um Facto it's not a cover, Lou is the bass player of Dino Jr he sings on the very odd Dino jr song, I'm a fan of some of his mid era seBADoh stuff but not really his Dino Jr songs bar that one.

It's the first song from the first Dino jr album, where they were still finding their sound as Lou and J transitioned from their previous hardcore band Deep wound's sound to a new expanded sound.

Point was you can hear some different influences in their first album and surprisingly the Cure were one of them, hence i guess why they covered a Cure song on their second album.

I love the cure, but i do like the singles albums more i find it hard to listen to their studio albums from start to finish and i saw them live once, my only stadium gig I've been too and man it was boring, especially sitting down and so far away from the stage.

Here is Dino Jr covering one of their old Deep Wound songs (lou is singing but they did originally have another singer, and J was on drums in deep wound, Lou or guitar)
