Blonde Redhead, Bat for Lashes, Jesu to cover the Cure
 

Jesu! Laziest band around!

Blonde Redhead? wtf?

ohhh yesss bat for lashes
she'll do this goood.

Bat For Lashes, CoCo Rosie, and Haunted Graffiti? Interesting.

2 decent and 1 amazing band (jesu) covering the band that i probably hate more than any other. yawn.

You are an idiot. The Cure are wonderful.

her/their cover of bruce springsteen "I'm on fire" is amazzz--zingggg

this is gonna be cool!

Blonde Redhead doing Funeral Party sounds neat. Otherwise, nothing else here intrigues me much.

I thought "Xu Xu Fang" said "Xiu Xiu" for a second. That would have been awesome. :7(

This has potential to be really good.

now you know im not an idiot, but i have always hated the cure, ive been open minded to them and everything but they have always annoyed me.

American Laundromat is a really cheesy label! sorry to say.

No. I don't know that you aren't an idiot, idiot. Don't come here with your cunt talk and reasoning. The Cure are fantastic. I mean, they aren't the Smiths, but they're good.

the cure are parallel to the smiths on a scale of greatness.

ariel pink is going to cover them?

Yeah, dude. I'm looking forward to this little adventure.

so im an idiot because i dont like the cure because ive never like how they sounded, and my reasoning is being called into question. i dunno why the fuck youre gettin on my case about something so insignificant as disagreeing about one band, ive generally agreed with you on most of your opinions; music, drugs, whatever, and you now decide im an idiot just because i despise the cure.

I'm just making conversation, homie. The Cure are the shit, though.

weird, another cure tribute.

one of the best albums to ever come out of mexico is a cure tribute.

I can't say I'm familiar, what do they have?

oh i just actually read the article
bat for lashes is doing "a forest"????
my favourite cure song EVER.

The Raveonettes: "A Forest"

ohh no.

...only their version will be played in B-Flat minor!

where is the roger sisters version of object... one of the best cure covers ever......

where is ruins version of fascination st??? joke!

i will probably download this, couldnt be bothered buying it!

Wait...that's a different tribute. This one's called Perfect As Cats.

Hopefully Jesu will do something akin to what Broadrick's previous outfit (Godflesh, for the uninformed) did with Wire's "40 Versions"; That is, do a cover both reverent and idiosyncratic. Which is pretty much a given...

I like the Cure, but they do occasionally lapse into schmaltz and histrionics. But, hey, there are far patchier bands out there.

meh!

Re-read pitchfork's article, it was about two tributes including this one.

Oh okay. I thought this thread was about the Manimal Vinyl one only.
That 2nd one looks shit.

Well OK maybe not shit but I'm nowhere near as interested in it.

Most of the covers on the "Perfect as cats" tribute album are really good.
