When I hear about New Orleans, I can't help thinking about one of the birth places of jazz. Or probably it was the birth place of jazz.

Faith No More - I Started a Joke

Faith No More - I Started a Joke

I think the best part about Faith No More's covers is how decidenly not crazy they are. They're subversive because they play those songs totally straight instead of doing what you'd expect from a band that sounds like they do normally.

Late, great shamboic band called The Country Teasers from Scotland who briefly had a Yankee drummer, a friend of mine, who plays on this track,did an inexplicable cover of New Order's Blue Monday:

[Guybrush]

Perhaps more enjoyable than The Residents' version? 🤔

[grindy]

The song itself is quite true to the original but it's crazy that it's all done by one guy.

[Guybrush]

I was reminded of this the other day; Beastie Boys and Biz Marie covering Benny and the Jets.

I love the continuous sound of the excited audience 😄
