183: The Great Cover-Up

The Great Cover-Up is our all-covers show featuring songs recorded between 1976–1995. This two-hour episode features covers by The Jazz Butcher (pictured), Pixies, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Giant Sand, The Dickies, The Lemonheads, Nirvana, The Clash, Fear, Game Theory, The Sid Presley Experience, Buffalo Tom, Orange Juice, Green on Red, Bram Tschaikovsky, and much more. We’ll hear back-to-back interpretations of a Nancy Sinatra classic, a pair of takes on The Shangri-La’s, a trio of Modern Lovers covers from their first record, and one of the oddest Big Star covers you’re likely to hear. Plus Killdozer covering Elvis.
