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.
