Do They Really Feel Anything

M is for Monday is for Mp3

Today we have a Compare and Contrast Mp3 Post. Oh my! As indicated once here, I tend to appreciate cover songs that are a big enough departure from the original, so that they are completely different interpretation of the same [technical] song.

Modest Mouse unleashed the tune Never Ending Math Equation on the Building Something Out of Nothing album in 1999. Six years later, Sun Kil Moon released an album, Tiny Cities, that is a compilation of Modest Mouse covers.  One review of the Sun Kil Moon cover album stated: This is what Modest Mouse would sound like if they were a Christian Rock band. Which is kind of hysterical, and kind of dead-on accurate. Take your pick, Dear Reader, they're both pretty terrific.
