And they're fun versions, particularly "My New House" with Thurston adding the line "I've got Steve Shelley in the basement!" The only one that I don't really like is "Victoria" and that's a Kinks cover to begin with.

The songs don't work because Sonic Youth aren't working class Englishmen! Hah!
Nah, I actually really enjoyed that Peel session. Weird hearing one of my favourite rock bands covering another of my favourite rock bands.
