Sonic Youth v Plastic Bertrand

Following on from yesterday's revelation that Plastic Bertrand wasn't the actual singer on ca plane pur moi, the Friday cover version was an obvious one.

There have been a good many covers of the song, but I really like Sonic Youth's version. It's from the 1992 compilation album "Freedom of Choice: Yesterday's New Wave Hits As Performed By Today's Stars"

By 'Today's stars' read 'alternative rock bands of the early 90s'like Mudhoney, Redd Kross, Das Damen, Yo La Tengo...underground american rock from the pre-canonisation of Nirvana time, all good.
