Let the Royalties Roll In...

Hey, I've been covered! The classic Mid-'90s music nerd romantic angst nugget by My Legendary Girlfriend (US) gets the studio treatment by snarky, nasally NYC punks The Behoovers:

MP3: The Behoovers - Mix Tapes for Girls

Apparently the Behoovers' new album, Boca Raton, has been out since December but the band just sent me a copy of the CD today. You can buy it at Amazon.

It's a pretty straight-up reading of the song with some cool little electronic touches that I might have done if I'd had better equipment. And it features a better guitar solo (though I still like the one-note Neil Young style one I put to it). Compare and contrast:

If you're dying to hear more of MLG, there's this old post. The Behoovers' front man, Jon, was my first boss in NYC and the little 8-track reel-to-reel studio in the office was where I recorded it.

The Behoovers play Matchless in Greenpoint on March 1st with Wormburner.
