a great cover shows off the brilliant songwriting of the original and what makes the artist covering it so good. this is the band who made “no rain” covering the velvet underground - took me by surprise when my best friend showed it to me, and it changed my life for the better.

Coming back to this cuz just remembered this cover of Blondie’s “Sunday Girl” and this cover is way better than the original I think

There aren’t many bands or songs out there you can point to and say “this changed my life” but this band and song did.
It contains one of the dirtiest guitar licks ever recorded, an earworm of melody and noise.
They helped me discover the Velvet Underground 🍌(and kick-started the so-called Paisley Underground movement that gave birth to the Bangles among others).
My band could even play this song and it sounded BOSS (not every cover did, ha). So simple anyone could play it; but only THEY could write it.
I wrote about the PaIsley Underground years later for Magnet: https://magnetmagazine.com/2001/05/18/one-nation-underground-the-story-of-the-paisley-underground/
God bless Steve Wynn and Co 🎶 this one's still a keeper many decades later.

my parents convinced me it was a bad thing but they are WRONG. this is how you find new music, this is how you learn history, this is how you go deeper into the internet. it takes a curious mind to go down a youtube rabbit hole. right now, mine is DJ tutorials and demos. i’m learning so much!!!!
