Many of us dBs fans are old "Sea Divers" as well. Ok Peter, how about "Drive-In Sister" for a cover on the next tour? Wouldn't you love to hear Will play the drum intro? :)

Roll away the stone y'all...steve

Actually, I'd like to see them cover "I Wish I Was Your Mother", a song that's just begging for a reinterpretation.

Great choice, though Alejandro Escovedo seems to "own" that song these days. He's been doing an outstanding version of it in his shows for like ten years now, and Mr. Hunter himself has even performed his song with Al.

Indeed they do! I'm a big Dramarama fan myself and am happy to say that they've reformed and have just released a new album called Everybody Dies, and it's one of the strongest records they've ever made. Very solid American rock.

anyone got a copy of "England Rocks" that they could make mp3 friendly for me, so that my life will not go on undernourished for this song? I certainly don't like to beg, but you folks here seem to have a good line on the obscure songs. IN FACT, if people were interested in helping me find a couple songs, here's my want list:

"Let's Get Lost on a Country Road" - Kit Kats (on Jamie)
"Pray for Rosemary's Baby" - Chuck Stephens
"Well, Oh Well" - NNB
"England Rocks" - Ian Hunter
Any Christopher Milk stuff

It's pretty small, but maybe some of you all have some of this. (Pray for Rosemary's Baby is this weird single that I came across years ago while working at Musical Maze in Manhattan. It's a disco song that describes a baby going down the bathtub drain--perhaps an answer to "A Mother's Lament" from Disraeli Gears?--and getting hit by other apartment tenants' castaway Chinese dinner among other indignities. It has to be heard to be believed.)

Much thanks,
Peter

OK, now I have to look at my copy of Wonderamaland again. I know they would always throw a cover on each album, just like the latest.
