Listening to The Concretes' Miss You made me think about the point of covers - straight is fine but then that's karaoke surely, albeit professional karaoke and quirky takes sometimes hit the mark yet most are totally off the scale. I think they just about pulled it off. Lavender Faction? Sorry they didn't register with me.Spencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-26886873320315921202017-03-15T23:07:31.485+00:002017-03-15T23:07:31.485+00:00I saw the Watson Twins with Jenny Lewis at Mono wh...I saw the Watson Twins with Jenny Lewis at Mono when they toured Rabbit Fur Coat and they were excellent.<br /><br />Also saw the Concretes in Tut's a few times, there was no room on the stage with all of them on it . I thought they lost something when Victoria Bergsmen left.<br /><br />Never heard the Lavender Faction before and really like that track.

Incidentally, their cover of 'Back For Good' is OK but not in the class of the effort by The Wedding Present.<br /><br />Only know The Watson Twins from that rather excellent Jenny Lewis LP. Song you've posted is nae bad.JChttp://www.thenewvinylvillain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-11525765634508404092017-03-15T21:11:15.526+00:002017-03-15T21:11:15.526+00:00Three out of three this week CC.

I thought it might be the Richard Thompson song at first, but obviously not. Nice harmonies.<br /><br />I was also a big fan of The Concretes back in the day and yes, their version of Back For Good is excellent.<br /><br />After those two ear-comforters, the Lavendar Faction made quite a racket, but not in an entirely unpleasant way. Very early 90s. (I'm still coming to terms with the idea that this means it's a quarter of a century ago.)Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.com
