A Song For Joe
Re: A Song For Joe
This has been really fun to watch back! I had never heard of Jesse Dayton, but his version of Janie Jones is probably my favorite of the lot. The Interrupters' Get Down Moses is cool, too.

Yeah, that version of Janie Jones was my favourite along with White Man by Frank Turner. I'm watching it again now and I'm liking Washington Bullets on second listen.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

On second watch I think Police and Thieves by the bloke from the Strokes is the worst thing on it. It is dreadful.

Didnt know that was joes stepdaughter, that was a really nice version of a gem of a track thats too easy to forget about sometimes.
That Straight to Hell is really doing it for me, cant get enough of it, kudos to the band for obviously investing some time and effort into it. Also, need to see more of that rather brilliant meskies concert footage.

Re: A Song For Joe
Yeah, that was a pretty great Police On My Back. Footage like this should be out there in its entirety, not sitting in a vault. Yet again we get the old "discovered in an attic" shtick. More please Don.Low Down Low wrote: ↑23 Aug 2020, 6:25pmDidnt know that was joes stepdaughter, that was a really nice version of a gem of a track thats too easy to forget about sometimes.

I really like that Straight To Hell more on second listen. A really great vocal and some lovely guitar work.

Re: A Song For Joe
I never compare them because it was different eras and different vibe, but the meskies really did rock out those clash tunes. That POMB is one of best I've heard.Heston wrote: ↑23 Aug 2020, 6:49pmYeah, that was a pretty great Police On My Back. Footage like this should be out there in its entirety, not sitting in a vault.

Re: A Song For Joe
Agreed on Washington Bullets, too. You can really hear the quality of that tune in such a stripped down version.

I was sure Jesse Dayton was going to do Bankrobber as it’s on his new album but Janie Jones was great. Check it out here:
Re: A Song For Joe
Haven't seen all of it yet. Ive mostly enjoyed it the QOTSA was bad as was pointed out earlier.

Re: A Song For Joe
Finally watching this. It's fun. The less serious covers are the most fun in my opinion.
