bonus
Memphis Jug Band "Memphis Shakedown" Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, Volume Four
Not exactly a stunning return to randomness. That "All the Young Dudes" is probably the best cut, with the Pogues coming up on the outside (but stumbling a bit), and Jack Logan surprising.

Sorry, George -- I must have hogged all the good songs this week.
Is anybody familiar with the Martha Wainwright album? I picked it up recently and it's outstanding. I'm working at appreciating her brother now too, with some success.
Generik, George and I originally bonded over at Tom's over "All the Young Dudes" (Mott the Hoople version). So that song is very special to me.

10. New England - Jonathan Richman
Bonus Track: Space Money - Patti Smith.
My list is just weird this week, not sure what it means.
Above post:
Money = Monkey
Tom's got two that make me comment:
Kinks - Shangri-La
Love that one.
Siouxsie & the Banshees - This Wheel's on Fire
Haven't heard her version, but along with "Dear Prudence," Siouxsie lacks nothing in the cool cover department.
As to the original, I prefer the version on The Basement Tapes to the one on Songs From Big Pink. Both are great though. But so different.
