Good call Allison on Husker and Social D.!
Husker`s version of `Eight miles high`is amazing! When Bob starts screaming toward the end it`s just amazing!
Social D`s version of `under my thumb` is awesome!they recorded in the early days,that`s on a compilation and on "white light/heat/trash" as the unlisted track at the end as well as on their live at the roxy album
Which one do you like?I Have`nt heard the early one but between the other 2,the white light one rips!
This afternoon I was checking out a Yo La Tengo site with a ton of mp3`s,mostly live stuff and remember I mentioned `rocks off` by the stones?Yo La Tengo covered it live!
but I could`nt get it to work!,the other songs seem to be working so I guess it`s just that one,I`ll try another day.If you want to check it out it`s at Sunsquashed.com
there`s alot of cover songs;some Bowie,Kinks,Grateful dead,Pavement(with Malkmus),Velvets,Fleetwood Mac,etc.
When I think of some cool cover songs I`ll mention them!give me time!

Mr Bungle- Super Mario Brothers Theme

Hey,

Spaceboy your right that Ramones cover you put up awhile ago is very cool. Damned did a Jefferson Airplane tune as well, White Rabbit…pretty cool.

Salamiguy I like all Social D, have seen them more than a few times. Once in Huntington Beach at Safari Sam’s they played with TSOL, two shows in the same nite…amazing.
Will definitely check out that site, Rocks Off is a perfect song, love to check out anyone who covers it….except maybe Abba(???) [img]images/smiles/converted/eek.gif[/img]

MalcomIHAAW…good call…Mr Bungle [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hey Salamiguy,

Forgot to answer your original question about Under My Thumb. We have a 45/single 1945 with Under My Thumb on it. As well the compilation deal..gotta love Social Distortion. Not completely sold on the solo Mike Ness though, maybe will give it another spin [img]images/smiles/converted/cwm12.gif[/img]

The first Mike Ness album I don`t have but heard played in the music store,why would he team up with Brian Seltzer and Springsteen?
I do have that 2nd Ness album of old country tunes,it`s awesome!Best cover of Marty Robbins`big iron` I ever heard;some lame new country guy covered it a few years ago and it sucked!Mike just kicks ass on it!Another good tune is the Carter Family`s`Wildwood flower`
where Mike`s distorted punk chords mix with a banjo and pedal steel!My Mom met the surviving Carter Family in the 60`s!The Carter`s if you did`nt know was around on the 20`s and 30`s and wrote the song`No depression`which Uncle Tupelo covered and named the Alt country scene no depression.
My Mom also met the Ventures in the 60`s!
I`m sure Man or astroman would find that cool!
Cool Mom!
