Introducing AudioEngine 5: Finally, real speakers designed for portable audio players that deliver astonishing sound (and don’t cost a fortune). You can’t get better sound for your audio!
There’s a bonus Musically Challenged in this show! Thanks go out to Eric for sending it in!
This is still not in i-tunes – either feed. Just me?
Along with this cover, I also see that I have another cover by DCFC – the old Julian Cope classic “World shut your mouth”. Not bad actually (even better IMO).
Only 14 seconds in iTunes for me (though I’ve been having some proxy issues, so it might just be me). I’ll listen to it on your site instead.
Keep up the great work Brian.
FYI, episode 292 is also cut short, but only after you and Tina had answered the trivia questions. Total time of MP3 is 39:36
If Death Cab for Cutie weren’t intending to reinvent
‘This Charming Man”, they should have paind a visit to a site like LyricsFreak.
“A jumped up pantry boy”, not “just a country boy”. And the man said it’s “gruesome”, not “crucial” that someone so handsome should care. I think there’s a couple of others as well.
The second could be deliberate, but the first isn’t, which suggests they just misheard the lyrics.
I have yet to hear a Smith cover that is as good as the original.
