The Ledge #684: Covers


Listen Later

Ok, the “covers” folder is full so it’s again time for a show of nothing but remakes! What’s surprising is that it usually takes five or six months to be ready for each of this type, but it was only two months ago that I utilized this theme. But then again, there’s been a plethora of tribute albums in the last few weeks, mot notably the fabulous Make Something Happen: A Tribute To The Flashcubes on Big Stir Records. I aired a set off this release in my new release episode earlier this month, but it definitely deserved another outting in this episode.

But that’s not all from our pals at Big Stir Records. On October 10th, they will have the perfect Halloween album with Chilling, Thrilling Hooks and Haunted Harmonies: The Big Stir Records Halloween Grimoire. Featuring almost all of the label’s great acts, they’ve released a prerelease single off the record, a cover of “Eyeball Eater (From Outer Space) by sparkle*jets u.k. What’s especailly cool is that the digital version of the single includes a previously unreleased 1958 version by The Legends, a band featuring Richard West, fathre of sparkle*jets u.k.’s Susan West. 

Elsewhere, there are fab covers by Rum Bar Records acts, along with remakes of tunes by Lemonheads, Wire, Saints, Reigning Sound, Roky Erickson, and so much more. And there’s the latest double cover set series by Rob Moss and Skin-Tight Skin, where Moss and a collaborative artist cover each other’s tunes. This time the act doing the Moss tune is singer/songwriter Eytan Mirsky!
