I'm pretty passionate about the Voices Factory thing, actually. Like it's allowed me to genuinely enjoy the VU catalog for the first time in years. I think at this point it's almost impossible for an American male to cover VU and do anything distinctive. Voices Factory hit it from this almost 1st-album-Slapp-Happy perspective that really kills. The band is far from perfunctory, and you never get a sense that they don't get it, or that they're being condescending. Song selection is generally perfect. They even do something worth hearing with Sister Ray. They ought to be getting awards, rather than snark...

Anyway, this reminded me that I had a great album with some cool covers cued up on spotify Count's Rock Band: Do Not Listen If You Hate Coltrane or Maggot Brain

i don't think there's anything else i once liked that looking back brings me more shame than that dave navarro album. ta be fair to me i was 16 and a slow developer. can't remember if i liked the venus in furs cover in particular, but i did think it was cool he was covering the vu.
