"The world is my lobster"-Keith O'Neill.


Bazza

Faith No More were one of my favourite bands, but I always hated that 'Easy' cover. One of the more pointless covers, in my opinion.

Speaking of The Fall, who could forget:

A slight twist on the theme here, songs that are better known by their cover versions.

This song became pretty big when Jose Gonzales' cover was used in a Sony advert a few years back, but the original by The Knife is a far superior version:

Good one Bazza! I thought about posting up White Lightning. They played that when they were in Cork last year.

Same here. Saw them in The Point Depot in November 1992. Travelled up from Waterford on the bus specially to see them.

Saw them when they headlined Sunstroke in Dalymount in '93, I think. They were excellent and were only there because the Red Hot Chilli Peppers pulled out (thank Christ; they suck ass big time *awaits resulting shitsorm of abuse*).

Was amazing seeing songs like Woodpecker from Mars being done so well live. I thought Jim Martin was one of the coolest dudes on the planet.

Last time I saw The Fall in Belfast they finished with Mr. Pharmacist. Another great cover.
