HawkMan Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't say this was best cover version, but interesting certainly. New Musik version of The Beatles All You Need Is Love. And also unusually came up with their own composition and called it All You Need Is Love. Both on the album Warp.

Inspired by spotting the above, I`ve got "Group Sex" playing as I type. Turns out I`ve also got a Circle Jerks album called "Wonderful" which I don`t remember a thing about. Must have been planted. Just waded through 16 ruddy pages to avoid repeating the suggestions of others. Won`t be doing the same for the "what are you listening to" thread. Wasn`t expecting all the Snuff mentions. At least my Bran Flakes reminiscence on another thread was an original thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapologetic pedant Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 My favourite cover versions are "Summer Breeze" by the Isley Brothers, and Paul Davidson`s "Midnight Rider". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first heard Keith Morris in Black Flag, I could have sworn he was English. I`ve just given "Wonderful" a whirl. It did trigger recognition once it got going, particularly "American Heavy Metal Weekend". Because of their time and place, and scuzzball proclivities, the Circle Jerks are associated in my mind with the Angry Samoans, who were truly depraved at times. In my hoard, the latter`s records nestle alphabetically and charmingly next to the Anti-Nowhere League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to google that one. Gap in my knowledge. They would have been active around the time of the Iran-contra imbroglio. Wouldn`t pretend to be conversant with all the details of that controversy, but there was an indirect link to the triple album of a certain group with a compulsive penchant for political posturing. And I remember Col. Ollie North`s puppet as a regular on Spitting Image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Dinosaur Jr one the Peter Frampton song? I saw Dinosaur Jr in 1988 at Leeds Poly (as was) Steve Albinis new band were meant to be playing but the SU banned them on account of their name. The Subs` version clocks in at not much more than one and a half minutes. Can`t think of many singles that give you your money`s worth in under two minutes. Maybe the Undertones` "Here comes the summer". It is the Frampton song. Slightly tuneless vocal, but great guitars. The original is one of those tracks that, in my mind, is forever locked in the long hot summer of 1976. Albini claimed he perfunctorily took the name from a character in a Japanese comic. I`ve got their one album. The title, (Two nuns and a pack mule) suggests your S.U. weren`t being unduly cynical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most certainly is, in a normal year (i.e. not a covid one) they still do something like 100 -150 gigs each year. When they are on at multiple band events Charlie is nearly always in the bar after they've been on talking to fans. He told us at the Rebellion a couple of years ago that he loves talking to music fans and that its never a chore because he feels privileged that people will pay money to go and see him and allow him to do what he loves. He said he'd never refused a photo - which is not entirely true, because another time he told me (jokingly) that I couldn't be in a photo with him unless I was holding a beer 1 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with covers, but That Petrol Emotion`s album "Babble" is a particular favourite of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
