Today's Quick Mention: Did you guys see
that Slash (whoever thought he would ever be
mentioned here ... ?) decided to play The Tonight
Show with a Team Coco
button
pinned to his jacket? Naturally, NBC tried to
hide it as much as possible, but people still caught
a glimpse. Good stuff, if you ask me.
It's been a while since I've mentioned Venice Is
Sinking here at SOTO, so it only makes sense that
this week happened to simultaneously churn out a
little Twitter interaction between myself and the
band and a new track. Sand And Lines,
which is their third LP, isn't due until June 15th,
but that just means you have extra time to really
fall in love with the cover tune below. Enjoy.
:Venice
Is Sinking - Tugboat (Galaxie 500 Cover):
I know I've already posted up a couple of slow building,
headphone-worthy tracks this week, but this was lovingly
recorded live in a theatre, so it has a warmth to it that's
undeniably spectacular ... and that's just something I can't
let you go without experiencing. Also, I need to give
it up to the band for really making the song their own.
Straight up covers are nice, but re-imaginings are
definitely more interesting to check out.
