Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.
Last time: David Bowie to Pixies
I'll be honest, when Pixies released Trompe Le Monde in 1991, I found it a tiny bit disappointing. Sure, I enjoyed Planet of Sound and Alex Eiffel and Subbacultcha and a few others but the album as a whole, for me, fell a bit short. With hindsight I think I expected too much, after their earlier releases, and in my head attached greater significance to their every recorded note because of how I'd come to know and love Come On Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa and Doolittle. But that's another story. One highlight from the album though, was Pixies' cover of Head On. Here it is:
I know it might be considered blasphemous, but I think I prefer that to the Jesus and Mary Chain original, good though that is. Sorry, Reid bros.
Next time: East Kilbride's finest mix their reds with their blues...
