REAL COOL TIME: 32 Years of Live Feelies Covers
If you’ve downloaded any of the Feelies shows I’ve posted in the past, you know that The Feelies are a magnificent cover band. Whether tackling songs by Patti Smith, Wire, R.E.M., The Stooges or, of course, The Velvet Underground, they manage to put their own stamp on anything they play. A Feelies cover song isn’t radically re-arranged, mind you — it’s just given that elemental Feelies feel. Some of these songs made it to the studio, while some of them ended up being live-only experiences. Over the years, I’ve gathered up what I think is a complete set of these tunes, and I’m sharing that with you now. Here’s the tracklisting:
Vol. 1
1. Egyptian Reggae (Modern Lovers)2. Everybody’s Got Something to Hide (Except for Me & My Monkey) (Beatles)3. Barstool Blues (Neil Young)4. She Said She Said (Beatles)5. Dancing Barefoot (Patti Smith)6. Outdoor Miner (Wire)7. White Light/White Heat (Velvet Underground)8. King’s Lead Hat (Eno)9. Little Red Book (Bacharach/David/Love)10. Take It As It Comes (Doors)11. Sedan Delivery (Neil Young)12. Carnival of Sorts (R.E.M.)13. Funtime (Iggy Pop)14. Paint It Black (Rolling Stones)15. See No Evil (Television)16. Velvet Medley (Velvet Underground)
Vol. 2
1. Fun To Be Happy (Love Tractor)2. We’re Gonna Have A Real Good Time Together (Velvet Underground)3. Looking At You (MC5)4. Third Uncle (Eno)5. Head Held High (Velvet Underground)6. Mannequin (Wire)7. I Want To Sleep In Your Arms (Jonathan Richman)8. Sunday Morning (Velvet Underground)9. I’m A Believer (Neil Diamond/Monkees)10. Roadrunner (Modern Lovers)11. Real Cool Time (Stooges)12. Sweet Jane w/ Lou Reed (Velvet Underground)
Tacked onto the end of Vol. 2 is a “bonus EP” of Yung Wu covers (which was basically the Feelies with percussionist Dave Weckerman on vocals)
1. Big Day (Eno)2. Child of the Moon (Rolling Stones)3. Kingdom Come (Tom Verlaine)4. You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away (Beatles)5. Nobody Told Me (John Lennon)

Failing: A Very Difficult Piece for Contemplation

whitneymcn:

[…]

I’ve never thought that I was particularly invested in being right. There is a geek archetype that knows the objectively right answer on everything—how to indent code, market a product, make coffee, whatever—and must also use that knowledge to correct those sad individuals who are in error. That approach to life bugs the shit out of me, so I’ve tried to focus on being right when I can and being wrong in interesting ways when I can’t.
