A belated RIP to Alex Chilton. I was planning on using a cover of “In the Street” from last week’s Wilco concert, but the sound quality I managed to get was awful, sadly. Not so with these three:
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – The Ballad of El Goodo (Big Star cover)
Elliot Smith – Thirteen (Big Star cover)
The Decemberists – Nighttime (Big Star cover)
Back during Project: Mixtape week, one of the mixes included a cover of “Kangaroo” by Bat For Lashes. You can find that here.
