Ariel Pink covers Damage Done

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I made it 28 seconds.

That’s s**t.

"One of my favorite Ariel Pink songs." in the comments.
I won't be looking up the others.

Wholeheartedly agreed! Now you hear this cover, you suddenly realise what a s**t song the original was :lol:

Oh wow. :lol:

Umm, I've no idea what to say. Wow. Just, wow.

OK, I guess it certainly captures the spirit of the original, can't argue with that anyway.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I feel a bit like Arthur Dent after being exposed to Vogon poetry, but... I rather liked it.

Wow. After a mildly promising start, that made me want to scratch out my ears from the inside.

This is an interesting question. Is there a decent song in there somewhere.?
This is just a copy rather than a cover for me.

Can this turd be polished?

Quoting JB, you're kind agree that this cover isn't all that bad, because original wasn't a true work of art.

But you can roll it in glitter.

Ariel Pink did neither.

I am already thinking of giving it a try. It will take some time though.
Anyone else?

When i did my cover of summer there was even less of a song available ...

i didn't even make it to the 3rd bar of the opening 'riff' i'm afraid. :lol: :roll: :bat:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
