MP3: Black Francis – “All in My Mind” (Love and Rockets cover from New Tales To Tell – A Tribute To Love And Rockets, out now.
Bauhaus never did it for me, but I liked Love and Rockets from the first time I heard “Lazy” on a mixtape. Earth * Sun * Moon was stuck in my Cutlass Supreme’s tape deck for an entire summer. Tribute albums are notoriously dodgy affairs, but on this one the Dandy Warhols and Flaming Lips pay homage to the dark and scary popsters. This Black Francis cover isn’t as good as the original, but how could it be?
Check out the original after the jump…
