2-4-Tuesday


Our match-up today comes from John Alberson. A couple years ago John turned me on to Neutral Milk Hotel, though I actually never really got past the track from today's Two-For.

It may seem odd that someone would cover a song that is less than a decade old... it's not like you would be adding a new genre sound or bringing a new perspective to the song (like anti-war songs from the 60s being remade now). It is surprising, however, to see how many covers have come out a mere year or two after the original (like the Byrds releasing their version of Bob Dylan's 'Mr. Tambourine Man' two weeks after Dylan released his). Listen and see if you think the re-make adds or improves anything:
