(Doug Martsch covering a Smiths song that isn't "Reel Around The Fountain")
It's been a while since we've heard anything new from a member of the Smiths, so it's perfect timing for a new Smiths covers album... especially one with tracks interpreted by the Wedding Present, Doug Martsch (Built To Spill), The Rest (one of my favorite new Arcade Fire-ish Canadian bands), Katy Goodman (La Sera, Vivian Girls), and Tanya Donelly. This latest tribute will be released on American Laundromat Records this Fall and they are still adding folks to the track listing... which currently includes:
Cinerama / London Class Actress / Ask Dala / Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me Doug Martsch (Built To Spill) / Reel Around the Fountain (a la "Virginia Reel Around the Fountain" ?) Elk City / I Know It's Over Greg Laswell / Half A Person Joy Zipper / What Difference Does It Make? Katy Goodman (Vivian Girls, La Sera) / track to be announced Kitten / track to be announced Mike Viola / How Soon Is Now? Sara Lov / track to be announced Sixpence None the Richer / I Won’t Share You Tanya Donelly w/Dylan in the Movies / Shoplifters Of The World Unite The Leisure Society / That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore The Rest / Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before The Wedding Present / Hand In Glove Trespassers William / There Is A Light That Never Goes Out William Fitzsimmons / Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
Additional artists will be announced soon.
