Bands Covering Sonic Youth ? - Page 2

Camper Van Beethoven did a brilliant shitkickin' hoedown cover of I Love Her All The Time.

something · 03.08.2007, 10:33 PM

My wife does a pretty damn good cover of "Psychic Hearts" by Thurston. Of course Cat Power did a completely different version as well.

My favorite Sonic Youth cover ever is William Hooker's version of "Becuz". He totally deconstructs it, and it's awesome.

Second favorite: Camper Van Beethoven's amazing country version of "I Love Her All of the Time". I first heard that unaware in a record store when it just came out and it freaked the shit out of me. EDIT: Damn, Chout scooped me on that one by seconds!

The best track from Confuse Yr. Idols is Steel Pole Bathtub's version of "I Dreamed I Dream"

I remember reading a review in Flipside ages ago about a dance band of some kind covering "She Is Not Alone", but I don't remember who it was.

Thread Counts covered two SY songs in Detroit, 2004 (and two Stooges tracks too).
They did Death Valley '69 and Rain On Tin.
Here's DV69. I guess you'll forget it easily.

i remeber that somebody from here send a youtube link, where this guy from Blur (i think Graham is his name) covering sonic youth song (i'm not sure...maybe it was eliminator jr.).

thanks for the link Toko. interested to hear evol covered by others. knew only confuse your idols thing. wasn't that bad.

i'd really like to hear William Hookers version of Becuz, coz it's great song, coz he's great drummer, coz the way you're describing it Dead-Air

Difficult to do with all the alternate tunings. Many a guitar string has been wasted tuning my high E to an A or the like.

i just downloaded an out of print album by rodriguez called "swing like a metronome" from emusic (free promo membership i immediately quit). the last song is a nice acoustic/electric version of tom violence. rodriguez was matt ward (m. ward) and kyle field (little wings). i am a big little wings fan, and got this for his input, and the SY cover was a pleasant surprise. it seems that matt ward is doing the vocals on this one.

i do a honkey tonk cover of schizophrenia, which i started doing before cat power did hers. it's like a traditional indie-country song now.

I always thought that "Becuz" was an indirect cover of "Because the Night." Different lyrics, of course, but the main riff is very similar.

He does a good version its only like a minute and a half long though and its just instrumental. He'd do it as an opener after following sonic youth on the washing machien era tour.

"DEL/Green Monkey: Satan is Boring/Inhuman split 7" single (Jazz009, 1998)
