[fishbone919]

The original is so much better!

[SrDisorden]

I really admired Tim Rutili's lyrics to this song. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was a cover.

I hate the Physic TV version but love the Califone version.

[RDLoehrke]

Almost exactly the opposite opinion here. I was surprised to hear this in a coffee shop today, though. I was trying to tune out the music, since it was all this indie folk crap, but then I was shocked when they started playing a cover of a great old Psychic TV song. Could be worse, I guess.

Tim Rutli, talk to me baby.

I'm a slave 4 u.

[jdfmurphy]

My favourite band of the last few years, no contest

Come back to London, guys

[ahchilongalong]

Tim Rutli: lets do it and never stop.

[blackguarding]

I'd go gay for him with a quickness.

[iforgotit54]

amen.

i thought it to be interesting that Califone would choose to cover a song by Psychic TV, i would never make that connection listening to Califone, music is awesome.

[intuitivecat]

not surprising if one is familiar with Chicago music history, really. It's a city of genre cross pollination. But if one's not familiar with that (i happened to be around the early 90's indie scene there quite a bit, even hanging with Tim Rutilli & Red Red Meat people a few times - a friend was a roommate)I could see how it would be surprising considering the Califone sound.
