Sein Kommentar dazu:

Hey all,
Just wanted to clarify a few things for those of you who may be feeling like this was some kind of total disservice to an album that, I hope it’s obvious, is very important to me.

First, the covering of an album is rarely, if ever, predicated on a deficit in the original, (as is clearly the case here) it’s an expression of affection for the source material. This album has been an inspiration and comfort for me for a long time. Someone who’s relationship to music is solely listening to it may have a hard time understanding the impetus for “covering”, and I can understand why someone could see it as unnecessary/narcissistic, but, to me, performing and recording a song yourself can lend a whole new perspective into why you love it. I view as a natural extension.

Second, I was under no illusion that I was going to somehow improve or “one-up” the original. It’s a little ridiculous to even have to belabor that point, but it seems some of you are under the impression I’m some kind of ego-maniac as opposed to someone who is head-over-heels fanatical about my favorite songwriter.

All of these are first-take, raggedy demos that I felt were congruent with the spirit of the album. I certainly could have done some kind of official release with a band, or a string section, or some kind of radical re-imagining of the aesthetic, but I can’t imagine how over-wrought and terrible that would be. This felt honest to me.

Please just take this as what it is: A songwriter who some people like and some people don’t sharing his perspective on a monolithic album that changed his life. This in no way impedes on your ability to listen to and love “Tonight’s The Night”.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Wird er dem Original gerecht? Oder geht es darum gar nicht? Ich bin jedenfalls sehr angetan, Tillman hat mich noch nie enttäuscht

Mein Lieblingsalbum bekommt ein Tribute, da bin ich ja mal gespannt.

On March 22, a song-by-song cover album tribute to Sufjan Stevens' 2004 LP Seven Swans will hit the internet courtesy of blog On Joyful Wings. Artists contributing to the charity release include Bonnie "Prince" Billy, DM Stith, Half-Handed Cloud, and the Gregory Brothers (of "Bed Intruder Song" and "Double Rainbow Song" fame). And while Sufjan was not involved in the making of the album, he did give the project his full approval. Proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

01 Bonnie "Prince" Billy: "All The Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands"

Weil ich seit gestern mal wieder im Prince-Fieber bin, muss mal wieder festgehalten werden, dass so selbst die beschissenen Foo Fighters gut sind:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6Dwuhmk2PE das hier bleibt mein lieblingscover von "smells like teen spirit".

gelungen sind auch das "lost in the supermarket" cover von den afghan whigs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFMKpnmqlZM) und "down the line" (josé gonzalez) von den gutter twins (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHnmyTvvxSE).

Zunächst die Damen:

Rainy Day - I'll Be Your Mirror
Nina Simone - Don't Let e Be Misunderstood
Norma Fraser - Respect


Dann die Herren:

The Pastels - About You
und sehr zu empfehlen, aber im Netz unauffindbar:
Galaxie 500 - Don't Let Your Youth Go To Waste

[aivz]

NIcht die beste Coverversion aller Zeiten, allerdings eine dicke Empfehlung: Das Cover/Tribute-Tape an die Power Pop/Beat/Garage Götter Paul Collins, Peter Case und Jack Lee (The Nerves, The Beat, The Plimsouls). Für schmale 5 Dollar auf Volar Records (http://volarrecords.blogspot.com/2010/1 ... overs.html). (Erfreulich unfidel) eingespielt von Garage-Semihelden wie Reading Rainbow, White Wires, Hunx and His Punx, The Mantles und Davila 666.

Highlights:
- Die bollernde, stumpfe Davila 666-Coverversion meines ewigen Lieblingssongs "Hanging on the Telephone". Spanischkundige sollten mir schleunigst den Refrain entschlüsseln.
- Die von Reading Rainbow völlig entschleunigte Nerves-Demo "Stand Back and Take a Good Look".
- "A Million Miles Away". Der Titelsong des grandiosen 83er Teenie-Films "Valley Girl", in dem Nicolas Cage (!) den liebeskummernden Punker spielt.
- Alles.

Leider hat sich niemand an "Come Back and Stay" getraut. Denn dieser Song ist eigentlich kein Schmachter von Paul Young, sondern eine schicke PowerPop-Nummer von Jack Lee. (http://youtu.be/ZxL6o1zL8sM)
