I know there's loads of musos on here, and I was just thinking it might be cool project to post up any covers of Hold Steady jams anyone's done? I remember Jonesey did some a few years ago and I also had a version of Chips Ahoy! I did at work which I've since lost. Anyway, just with the new EP and album on the way, I thought Unified Scenesters might think this was a cool thing to share.
I'll start. I have been looking at the out-of-tune piano in my front room for a long time and wondering how I could play and sing Finn's vocal delivery, as I've found it nearly impossible previously. Earlier I got in and just had a thrash through Stay Positive. Now, I'm no piano player and I found this particularly difficult to sing/speak but hopefully you get the gist!

This is a f'kin great idea. You did a great job - those chords sound amazing on piano!
I'm so getting on this.
If I remember correctly, a scenester called JonnyJay did an acoustic cover of Banging Camp and Slapped Actress.

Will get round to doing one when my throat's cleared up. We could put them together as a little album and give them to the band in homage...?  Lovely rendition nosferatu! |

Hi, all.
I'm a morning public radio host, and I like to play unique instrumentals under my voice while I'm announcing... Stuff you wouldn't expect to hear on an NPR news program. I use stuff from movies, TV shows, video games and bands I like. I also take requests from my listeners. I just had a listener request "Constructive Summer," but I can't find an instrumental of that online anywhere. Any chance one of you lovely people has done an instrumental cover of this song or is planning to do one? I'd really like to know.
Thanks in advance!

This is a cover of "You Can Make Him Like You" I did a while back. From trying to learn other songs, it isn't all that easy to replicate Craig's vocal delivery with Tad's guitar playing. I did my best.

cps138 that's such a cool cover. You made it sounds like a Weakerthans song, which is obviously a great thing

curvesandnerves Thanks! I'm glad you like it. The funny part is I've never heard any Weakerthans. I'll have to check them out.
