Gosh Brian,
I love your show and you usually do a great job finding cool versions of cover songs. But the cover of Jessica by They Might Be Giants is so godawful that I had to turn the podcast off. It is SO BAD that it is not even cheesy funny bad. Let’s have some consideration for your audience next time please. THanks.

Hi Sal – I’m sorry you didn’t like it (and you hated it enough to not even listen to the remaining 15 songs of the show!). I absolutely get that not everyone is going to like every song I play. But in this case, I stand by my decision to include it. It’s a very fun version of a great song, where the cover is absolutely 100% in the style of the band doing the covering. And knowing that TMBG is popular among listeners to the show, I felt it was an easy decision to make it part of the episode.
But that’s the beauty of the way I present the show, you can always fast-forward a few minutes to get to the next track if you don’t like the current one. And if you’re listening to the AAC version, it’s just a simple press of the “next” button!
