I’m getting prepared for the opening of the Dame tonight by jamming a lot of Talking Heads. While Youtubing around for some live videos, I came across this cover that I didn’t know existed. Apparently this is Eddie playing with his friends C Average in 1999, covering the Talking Heads’ “Love → Building on Fire.” Unless you’re a grumpy Youtube commenter, you’ve got to agree that this is a good cover capped off with a great vocal performance.

On a related note, I found out that the Flaming Lips used to cover Echo and the Bunnymen’s “Bring on the Dancing Horses.” If anyone has a video or MP3 of that, I’d love to hear it and host it for everyone. Maybe I should whip up an “as complete as I can get it” list of all the covers the Flaming Lips have done.
