The covers mx is one of the staples of mixtaping. Here are some i enjoy...and i think that's about all i have to say here.
tracklist
| 1 | John Zorn : lonely woman |
|
Originally written by Ornette Coleman (at least i'm pretty sure, he was reportedly very opposed to performing standards). Zorn sped this up and it comes out even cooler...which is pretty hard to do, i'd say. SHOW MORE

| 3 | Minor Threat : 12XU |
|
Originally by Wire. I guess a good amount of people don't know this is a cover, and some people think it's about gay-bashing. Lollerskates. SHOW MORE

| 4 | Killout Trash : I've Got Straight Edge |
|
Originally by Minor Threat. As this is a covers mix, i thought it essential to include at least one song by one of the bands doing the covers, being covered. It's the whole self-referential sort of thing that i'm big into (see Fellini's 8½ for more information). So that's done here, and later on in this tape as well. But here Killout Thrash does a very strange and abstract avant-punk version of one of the classic hardcore anthems. SHOW MORE

| 5 | Sonic Youth : Freezer Burn / I Wanna Be Your Dog |
|
Originally by Iggy and the Stooges. I can't really explain how cool this cover is. It's probably my favorite Stooges song to begin with, but this cover is just so amazing, when Kim Gordon just starts howling "Now i wanna be your dog!" it's wonderful. SHOW MORE

| 6 | Gayrilla Biscuits : Fags Like You |
|
Originally by Sick of it All...sort-of. Honestly, i made this mix just so i could have a valid reason for using a Gayrilla Biscuits song on a mix. For those of you not into hardcore, allow me to explain. Gorilla Biscuits were a hardcore band in the late eighties, and their breakup led to the formation of three of the most prominent acts to ever be defined as "post-hardcore" : CIV, Quicksand, and later on, Rival Schools. But that is not this band, so just may be considered a relatively irrelevant piece of musical knowledge for you. Gayrilla Biscuits, on the other hand, were a short-lived band that covered classic hardcore songs and changed the lyrics to all be about loving dick. Here, i'll post the lyrics to the original sog by Sick of it All, and Gayrilla Biscuits' interpetation for you to see. "Friends like You" Call me a friend but you stab me in the back you pretend we get along, it's all just an act you always use people to get what you need you take advantage of others to satisfy your greed all you do is take and you never once give don't you have any shame, the life that you live We don't need you, you fucking scum hope that friends like you will never come when things turn bad for you, don't count on me cause I'll turn my back on you as you did to me We don't need friends like you We don't need friends like you We don't need friends like you We don't need friends like you Call me a friend but you stab me in the back you pretend we get along, it's all just an act you always use people to get what you need you take advantage of others to satisfy your greed all you do is take and you never once give don't you have any shame, the life that you live Like you And now, "Fags like You" Call me a friend when you fuck me in the ass You pretend we're partners, but it's all just an act You always use cute boys to get what you need You take advantage of homo's to satisfy your needs All you do is take and you never will give Don't you have respect for this queer life we live? We don't need you, you faggot scum Hope that fags like you won't ever cum When you need a stiff cock, don't count on me Cause I'll turn my back on you as you did to me We don't need fags like you SHOW MORE

| 8 | Jimi Hendrix : Hey Joe |
|
Originally by Billy Roberts (at least according to Wikipedia). I guess this is anoter song a lot of people aren't aware is a cover. And i have to say, it was a bit difficult to decide between this one and "All Along the Watchtower" because they're both excellently done. But i decided upon this one, just because i guess i like it a bit better and all that. SHOW MORE

| 10 | Voorhees : Posessed to Skate |
|
Originally by Suicidal Tendencies. I wanted to stay away from the whole "punk covers" thing...and by that i mean, punk bands either covering other punk bands, or punk bands doing popular songs "ironically." But i do have a few of the former on this tape, which is what this falls into. But some of them are relatively fresh takes on the songs they're covering, more interpetive...this isn't one of them. Voorhees just knew how to thrash, and they did it well. And that's all they do here. SHOW MORE

| 11 | I Hate You : Glue |
|
Originally by Society System Decontrol (SSD). While this isn't really a stellar cover...i'd say it's slightly better than Indecision's version of the same song. But the reason why i wanted to include it was the interview clip at the end of it. It really conveys what I Hate You was all about. Interviewer: How do you guys feel about the violence surrounding your guys name? Band member: It's not us man, it's our fans. Interviewer: Just your music motivates people to do certain things... Band member: I wouldn't even say that. It's just them. It's all their fault. Any explanation that would...further he fault as far away from us as possible, that's what i'm trying to get at. Interviewer: I gotcha. It's all good. SHOW MORE

| 14 | Bastard Noise : Lily of the Valley |

Originally by Queen. So going from Richard Cheese's lounge-music version of a hip-hop song is a harsh noise cover of a Queen song done by former members of Man is the Bastard. Why does such a thing exist, you ask? Who thought this would be a good idea? Whatevs. It's amazing, and that's the truth. SHOW MORE

Originally by the Birthday Party. This is a pretty odd cover. The Birthday Party is a relatively spooky band, and while Melt-Banana is quite weird...they have an undeniable spunk about them that makes them very far from spooky. So this cover just comes out...well, 17 types of awesome. But still pretty odd. SHOW MORE

Originally by Filth. I don't really like this as much as a lot of their original output, and it says in the liner notes "...We decided it was dumb to record a punk song!"

Thank you for Richard Cheese. He was made popular by KROQ in Los Angeles. The morning show Mark and Brian spawned him out of the Los Angeles market to make him so popular. His version of Down with the Sickness with featured in the newer Dawn of the Dead. Great work on the mix and I really really appreciate the Cheese!!! Rock on.

You picked some awesome songs, but I'm not sure how the flow of them would be.
