What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
That would be a tie between Chappaquiddick Skyline covering New Order's Leave Me Alone and Xiu Xiu covering Joy Division's Ceremony. Also, the first person who comments that Ceremony is New Order song, gets on my shit-list.

What's the one CD that will totally remind you of the Summer of 2006?
"Based around a re-occurring dream of David Tibet, of blacks ships
invading the sky and acting a catalyst for the coming of the
Anti-Christ and the second coming of Christ. The album takes on a very
personal and intense nature that is projected superbly through an array
of lovingly structured tracks and vocals that pricks at the very
essence of the listener. It finally seems that through sheer,
unequivocal devotion and constant hard work David Tibet and the
stunning array of talent artists that accompany him on the album, have
managed to produce the definitive Current 93 album, that is not only
superbly written and recorded but is presented perfectly. So much so
that if this where to be, god forbid, the finally Current 93 album, the
25 long years Tibet has put into his project would have been worth
every second, as every thing he’s set out to achieve with Current has
come into fruition through this albums release. Initially seeming to
take in it’s queue musically from the ‘folk-esque’ nature of ‘All the
Pretty Little Horses’, it soon becomes evident that this is just the
very tip of the iceberg as the layers of instrumentations, sounds and
vocals contain a depth and almost organic nature that has only been
touched upon by Current’s pervious work and is displayed with such
compassion and vigour that it soon becomes evident that the four years
spent on recording and releasing this album haven’t been in vain.
Dream-like in parts, haunting and reoccurring, ‘Black Ships..’ offers
up a cavalcade of thought-proving and image drenched songs that fit
together like pieces of a hand-crafted jigsaw. Each piece in fitting in
place perfectly, complimenting the next and adding a vital element to
the overall finished puzzle." [ via strangefortune ]
What are your three favorite album covers of all-time? Any honorable mentions?
Question submitted by Tamara.
too hard. too many albums and amazing covers.
the first three that spring to mind are:
Nurse With Wound / She and me fall together in free death
Coil / The Ape of Naples
Legendary Pink Dots / Four Days
An honorable mention would be Trevor Brown's cover for the Venetian Snares album Horse & Goat, but I won't be posting that here. Don't wanna get banz0red.
