• Will these additional covers turn up somewhere down the line?

Matthew Sweet I think they should. I mean, it wouldn’t be very hard to finish them. Like I said, there are 10 additional tracks that are going to be iTunes exclusives or something, and those include a Gram Parsons song, “A Song for You,” and they have an amazing James Taylor song sung by Sue with me doing background vocals. It’s called “You Can Close Your Eyes.” It’s really great, and Greg Liesz does the finger-picking. It’s really like a Sue solo thing, it’s so great of her. And then there are all of the new-wavy things I mentioned. There’s “I Wanna Be Sedated” and “You Say You Don’t Love Me,” by the Buzzcocks. You know, I would’ve done XTC, and there were Elvis Costello things that we didn’t end up putting on there. We did a version of “Accidents will Happen.” It’s really cool, and it had a cool vocal, but, again, it just didn’t quite make it. It wasn’t bad. But we have “Peace, Love and Understanding” on the bonus tracks, which sort of hits both Nick Lowe and Elvis.

80s hits? Girls Talk is from 1979, as is They Don’t Know , Train In Vain and Kid. Whatever - it's a fun series.

Their first two albums are really fun, sunny day albums. Looking forward to this one. Although I was hoping that the Marshall Crenshaw song would have been part of the CD.
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
