SY and Beck cover each other - Page 9

noisereductions · 04.20.2009, 02:08 PM

I know! I figured "Pay No Mind" would be 1 of 2 things: Either a Thurstonish TREES/MURRAY ST faithful acoustic version, or a super noisy rawk version; but this was something else entirely. I think for the first half I was like "awe, what a letdown" but by the 2nd half I was like "OMG... I love SY soooo much!"

Danny Himself · 04.20.2009, 02:31 PM

I hated it, I think I still do, I only gave it a couple listens. Pay No Mind is one of my favourite songs and I think they just lazily butchered it, the pretentious twats.

Derek · 04.20.2009, 02:33 PM

Yeah, I thought it was extremely lazy as well.

noisereductions · 04.20.2009, 02:35 PM

It was lazy in an awesome way. Though, remember, I'm the one guy who's not in the band that LOVES "Eyes & Teeth".

noisereductions · 04.20.2009, 02:35 PM

PS, what makes "Pay No Mind" is Steve's beats.

RanaldoNecro · 04.21.2009, 01:24 AM

I was kinda dissapointed....

The original has such a strong quality.

dazedcola · 04.22.2009, 10:32 PM

I instantly loved the "green light" cover, it reminded me off something from his early folk period. I wish he'd go back to this style more.Its quite a feat to make a sonic youth song into a beautiful acoustic track.

On the otherside "pay no mind" was nothing what i expected. Its one of my favorite beck songs and i thought theyd do a version of it like they did "im not there". The first half is really deconstructed but then it got great with the noise part sounding like some prime EVOL material and ending with a Dirty kind of rock groove.

They should have pressed more copies of the single, I wasnt able to get one on record store day.

canabero · 04.22.2009, 10:37 PM

i heard Green Light by Beck and yeah is a fucking awesome version.

Rob Instigator · 04.23.2009, 08:37 AM

Beck's green light cover is fine. It sounds like a total toss-off though, recorded during studio down-time.

the Pay No Mind is very cool. I have not heard the original but I enjoyed the song for what it was.

that's really surprising to me for some reason. I mean, it wasn't all over the radio or whatever, but it's sort of a signature tune. I'd be as surprised if somebody said "I've never heard 'Serve The Servents" or something like that.

Rob Instigator · 04.23.2009, 09:51 AM

i will chekc it out on the youtube.

Rob Instigator · 04.23.2009, 09:55 AM

Nope. never heard it before.
why do people complain about malkmus' lyrics being pointless and meaningless and not get on beck's ass about his non-sequitor lyrics? I wonder... so many questions.

mil_pl · 04.23.2009, 10:12 AM

no garage is anti-orgasm song from session.

I love both of their lyrics, personally.

Rob Instigator · 04.23.2009, 01:26 PM

i like obfuscating lyrics too. the last thing I ussually want to hear is the "deep thoughts" of some cocksmear in a band

fugazifan · 04.25.2009, 04:41 AM

wow, becks version of green light is really good.
and i really dont like beck

fugazifan · 04.25.2009, 04:51 AM

i just heard pay no mind. i thought it was cool. i like hearing SY sing the folk tune over the feedback. it was nice to hear them sing in a different meter than what they usually sing in.
they should do more folk stuff

Yeah, like the singer-songwriter album by Lee

wellcharge · 04.25.2009, 07:48 AM

the original pay no mind is the only beck song i'm familiar with(it's in a local skate video from my jr.high days haha) and i thought the sy cover was pretty much boring and pointless

haven't heard the greenlight cover but i'm looking forward to it

joe11121 · 04.25.2009, 10:41 AM

I listened to Green Light & Pay No Mind on youtube.
Pay No Mind is pretty boring.
Green Light is pretty good though.
