hey Frank,
not sure how i missed this post,
and unfortunately now the mp3 links are dead…
anyway, where the Hell did you get a Swearing At Motorists version?
please tell me it’s a live version.
(because i never released the one i recorded during the “This Flag Signals Goodbye” sessions)

I saw Johnny Marr play a beautiful version of this song at the 7 worlds collide concert earlier this year. Don Mclashan played the mandolin or a similar sounding instrument, giving a solo definately worth listening to. There’s some footage floating around on the you tube.

I have that Weezer one but some research makes it very questionable whether or not it’s them. I doubt it is. Ah, the freewheeling tagging of the Napster era.

Rob Dickinson (of Catherine Wheel fame) has also just released a cover of this as a digital single; can be heard on his myspace site … http://www.myspace.com/robdickinson

For good measure, here’s the Deftones version I remembered from my high school days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXmsUuPBNFU
