Why do you have Covers 5 titled Covers 4?

Thanks again for the fine work, Rads. I look forward to these. Your record collection must be some kind of sweet. For what it's worth, here's my first impressions:

1. Fantastic
2. Too close to the original to differentiate the two.
3. Accentuates the lounge. Not bad.
4. Fabulous.
5. The Jayhawks vocals are irresistable.
6. I feel the opposite about Craig Finn's vocals.
7. Amusing.
8. One of the truly underated songs of the eighties. This almost sounds like the Silversun Pickups but in a good way. Great.
9. Faster and louder but not better.
10. Amazing how the Donnas always sound exactly the same even when they're covering something.
11. Uncanny vocal impersonation behind some fuzz. Alright.
12. Also too close to the original for me.
13. I need to listen to more of the Saints. The horns on this are great even though they're way to far up in the mix. Sweet.
14. Makes me think how much Supergrass sounds like Mott the Hoople.
15. It's hard to outdo great power pop especially when you don't stray very far.
16. Nice. I also need to listen more to the Paisley Underground bands.
17. You know what I'm going to say - too faithful to the first. Fun though.
18. I love Bobby Bare and I've always had an inexplicable soft spot for this song but this disappoints. Just sounds like a mess.
19. Anyone who likes Wire is alright in my book but ... (cue broken record)
20. Should be the song playing in the background of an Adam Sandler movie or a really bad wedding or both.
21. A friend of mine was telling me how much he hates the Replacements the other day. What a douche.
22. For all the energy, strangely boring.

Apart from #22, I can't say I disagree with anything there. The covers that are faithful to the originals obviously have an immediate problem to contend with, namely "if it sounds similar to the original, then it had better top it." In that regard, the entries by the Cribs and the Grays are especially disappointing - but they still manage to come close enough that I don't get annoyed when they appear on shuffle play.

Bobby Bare Jr. just put out an entire ep exclusively made up of covers of songs by America and Bread. I just wish he'd have put a little more thought and energy into the coda of "Sister Golden Hair" - I've always considered that the highlight of the song.

We'll just agree to disagree over Rich Hope.

Also, djdan - thanks for the response to the mix. You took me back to the days of yore when everybody would offer some kind of review/response.

I've heard about 6 different poppy punky covers of "Holiday Road" but I've never heard that one. Also mad props for Kurt Baker. I've yet to snag his covers EP though.
