there aren’t any jad fair covers on fakebook. ylt cover a song of his as a b-side to a song from painful. perhaps you meant daniel johnston? he and the scene is now are really ylt’s only contemporaries covered on fakebook.

oh and to Pangea it’s by Dump and it’s called That skinny motherfucker with the high Pitched Voice. Fantastic.

I want to thank you for writing articles like this. I’ve been a reader for awhile and it’s pieces like this that keep me coming back. Thank you for being, in my own opinion, one of the only music blogs worth reading.

I must check Fakebook out, as I just finished listening to Fuckbook and loved it.

I’m already a fan of this album – thanks for the tip-off on the Originals.

Great album, they always play great covers live and this is a great collection of some of them. Another favorite is their distortion filled version of Jackson Browne’s “Somebody’s Baby”

agreed. loved that album. early YLT at its most accessible and a fantastic exercise in showing off its the band’s most exquisite taste in music. i heard the drummer has an awesome Prince cover album that i’ve never been able to find. can u post me some of that?
