In my long and not so illustrious 'career' as a musician I've never really been tempted to do cover versions of other people's material (except an abortive attemp at Kylie Minogues 'I Should be So Lucky'). However, at this moment I'm sorely tempted to cover Big Black's Kerosene. If you've never heard of Big Black, let me just say that they were absolutely mental. Ultra powerful drum machine, bass, thrashy feedback guitar and vocals devoid of any emotion beyond blind aggresion. I heard a story that at one of their last gigs, circa '85, they replaced the bass drum sound with a sample of an 88mm howitzer. Can't get much more aggresive than that huh?So anyway, to do this cover, I'd have to... uh... 'sing'. Gulp. That'd be amusing.
Don't hold your breath and certainly don't expect it to be released on any future CD, but you never know, an mp3 might just appear on this blog for a limited time.
God help you all.
