Loved this show! I didn't know about the Bill Wilson connection to Sultans of Swing. I'm getting worried though – two Dire Straits covers within a few weeks. I'm concerned you will run out of material for the Dire Straits cover story. August 12th for Mark's birthday by the way, just before the Expo. Please?!!!
This episode made me change my attitude toward the recent trailer for Lost Boys 2. I thought the version of Cry Little Sister in the trailer was just a shameless rip-off. It was, as I've now learned, done by the same artist. Still not sure about the movie but that's another matter.
My co-worker has been listening to your show for years and just introduced me to it last week. I'm very impressed with it! (I think my work would be none too impressed by the hours I spent going through some of your old episodes over the last week but I won't tell if you won't.)
That Funkytown cover was as brutal as the original. I think Lipps, Inc. had the correct lyrics years ago, "Gotta move on." Let's not revisit that one again! Keep up the fine work, Bri.
Did I accidentally download the closing credits to a Hilary Duff movie? No, I was just listening to Anberlin's version of "Like a Rolling Stone."
Pseudo Echo! Man, I loved that album!
This is interesting. I love Bob Dylan. When I was a punk kid back in the 80's, after The Beatles, I discovered Dylan (soon to be followed by Tom Petty and Tom Waits). And after listening to that Anberlin cover, I was left more than a little unimpressed. Now I don't really like to blast a cover, I realize there are different tastes out there and what I don't care for, someone else may care for. So the question I have is, why did I not like this cover? Very possibly it had to do with it being lackluster in my opinion, they seemed to play it middle of the road, no chances at all. But then I realize I am a Dylan fan, and come with all the preconceptions So is it me? Or was it really lackluster? I would like to blame it all on them 🙂 but who knows. Darnit, Anberlin, I can't make up my mind and this will but me for some time.
That's odd. Pseudo Echo were always thought kinda daggy in Australia in the 80s. At least with this song they gave up the New Romantic pose and had some fun. Might be worth another listen after all these years.
BTW – this was a great episode – it had a bit of history, lots of greatly altered covers, some hits and some misses.
Classic.
