Also, where can the Kinks' "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" be found? It was originally a b-side, right?
Correct. But it should be on the reissue of Face to Face. I think you can also get it on the Kink Kronikles, though, which was a seventies compendium of lost Kinks tracks and singles put together by John Mendelsson (Ultimate Kinks fan and rock critic of the era).
I can just post it if you want.
Yeah, if one of you guys could post "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" that would be great.
Also, someone covered that song for a movie soundtrack in the early/mid '90s, but I can't remember the movie or the band that did the cover. Any ideas?
eta: Also, Camper Van Beethoven covered this, which I have. That version is pretty good.
Is this it, tommyrot? [link]
edit: Damn, that looks like a pretty sweet soundtrack. I miss the 90s.
Yeah, that's it. A roommate had that album at one point. I think I need a copy of that.
Also, that album's version of X's "Unheard Music" ("Performed by Elastica with Stephen Malkmus") is awesome.
It's posted now. I threw in "Celluloid Heroes" because that album, Everybody's in Show Biz, is less essential, but everybody needs that song.
You're welcome. And now I'm listening to a lot of Kinks. Currently: "Ape Man."
I think I need to track down some of their later hard rock songs like "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" and "Destroyer."
I love "Destroyer", as the AOR station I listened to in the early '80s played it a lot.
I like how they ripped off their own riff in "All Day and All of the Night" for "Destroyer." And it also mentions "a girl called Lola."
Give me a mo and I'll upload those two tracks. (My only version of "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" is the live one from
One For the Road.
Do you want that version?)
Also just ran across this video: Cheap Trick Mariachi Mash Up - "Surrender" (Long Version)
eta: This version is pretty awesome, and the video is fun.
