Other Versions Show - 5/25/09

Inspired by one of my listeners, tonight's theme was all about alternate or lesser-known/played/heard versions of mostly well-known post-punk tracks. Download the mp3 below and thank Doc for the great show idea:

This song had some really great versions of songs that I hadn't heard before.

I agree. I especially liked the alt. versions of Alice's House and Car Trouble Part 2. Very cool.

Thanks you guys. And thanks again to you too, Doc, for inspiring the theme. I still wish I knew why that original Alice's House was left off of the Forever Now album since the album, while brilliant, is so short. Maybe they just thought it was too dark?
