I sure do, but it may just be the Hi-Posi. If there was ever an album designed to have you dance like a Pichu fed by gavage, then this is it (keep track of all the Pokémon references in this review, true believers!). [...]

Just like you and me.

I was thinking I might try to post at least one cover a day this month, but figured I'd post a bunch of songs now in case I backpedal. The Avalanches "Do you Know the Way to San Jose" (comp. Burt Bacharach) I think this is a "totally love" or "totally hate" it track, and I'm in the former category.

I wanna give you my love, but you'll just take a little piece of my heart.

The covers in today's post are as random as ever, but I think I can honestly say that I pretty much like them all. Heh. "Pretty much." Way to commit, huh? Seriously, there is something I do like in all of these tracks and I hope you do too. Oh, and hello to any new visitors who've found this as a result of the piece on covers in the new issue of Oxford American . (And thanks to Boyhowdy who alerted me [...]
