So Merge records boss Mac McCaughan covered FALAA for Halloween.

Thoughts on a postcard

Rubbish.

Anyone who signs a band like arcade fire needs a long nail bashed into their eye.

i categorically DETEST all covers of sisters' songs, (yes,even lambchop's).

But it might attract some of his punters to check out TSOM.

I like the music...but the vocal is a bit s**t

Not intending to cover it, but I thought I'd get back to that electric guitar by figuring out the first three riffs from FALAA.
Then I thought I'd christen the looper pedal by doing the intro (sans bass and drum machine).
That was Friday night.
I've had the first riff stuck in my head since then.

Wow.. FALAA on Valium.

I think it's actually OK.

Far from the worst I've heard, and at least it avoids the Darth Vader syndrome.

That much is true, but if ever ever was called a saddening weeper, that guy has topped him now by far ... ...

Okay, I'm stumped. What's that? Recording inhalation and exhalation sounds alongside with the singing?

I think he means something like this cover

One of the best quotes ever about covers on Sisters songs

Vocals that sound like a man in a Darth Vader helmet at the bottom of a 50-foot well, basically.

Oh, and since rien's new: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swT-x9W6ktQ (the rest of you can skip this, you can probably guess what it is )

I'm always impressed when people have recorded evidence that what they just did sounded awful, and yet they STILL desperately want the world to know. I mean, I've made terrible recordings of myself half-assedly singing stuff while walking through the woods, but I usually delete them afterwards...

OK, it was mean of me to post that, but the way you describe it is just perfect.

It sounds like if you moved FALAA towards the direction of goffickness opposite the Sisters' poppy futurist industrial thing. Obviously? Still, I like it.

that's fucking amazing (not in a good way) -i've never seen that . wow.

I know I can be disturbing at times, but that video even disturbed me. Whether that's good or bad, me or the video, is currently being processed in my brain. I hope to have a definitive answer by the next Sisters' album.

So some time around 2000-never.
