    Weird, never looked into it. Just watched the Kurt documentary "Montage of Heck" and Courtney said he wrote it about her when she was on tour and Kurt thought she was sleeping with some dude.

    Had the pleasure of seeing Iggy Pop last weekend, 68 years old and he absolutely killed it. I hope I look that good when I'm 40. Anyhow, not really a cover, Iggy and David Bowie co-wrote China Girl together, Iggy put his version out first but everyone tends to remember Bowie's version which was released after. This was taken from SXSW in Austin last month.

    ^That is awesome. They replayed the 1993 SNL performance this weekend and we just happened to tune in. Nirvana and Charles Barkley.

    I've always liked this one. For quite a while in Boston Evan Dando was going to be the next big thing.

    That is pretty good. I barely know Dando or the Lemonheads, but this cover has always blown me away; it just hits me right in the feels. Actually, every cover on the album is righteous. Probably because Gram Parsons was that good.

    That Lemonheads cover was put to good use in a classic Scorsese tracking shot in Wolf of Wall Street:

    Knew you'd like that one.

    The bass player from Romeo Void is a friend - he really likes that one too. He fancies himself a Kinks fan but hadn't heard it before it came up on my player one day.

    This should have been mentioned by now; apologies if it already has...

    All the better because the video includes Jessica Hahn, of Assemblies of God fame.
