A Beatles Challenge
Over beers the other night, a friend of mine proposed an interesting challenge: to create a Beatles covers mix consisting of all bands and singers that I think are good. I’ve made my first crack at it, but I’m looking for feedback. If you consider yourself knowledgable in the field of music, suggest some stuff to add or change (use the comments field):
- Echo and the Bunnymen - Ticket to Ride
- The Black Keys - She Said, She Said
- Nick Cave - Let It Be
- Belle and Sebastian - Here Comes The Sun
- The Breeders - Happiness is a Warm Gun
- Dead Kennedys - Back in the USSR
- Elliott Smith - Revolution
- Daniel Johnston - I Saw Her Standing There
- Shonen Knife - Rain
- Me First and The Gimme Gimmes - Strawberry Fields Forever
- Johnny Cash - In My Life
- Bobby Darin - Beatles Medley
- The Jam - And Your Bird Can Sing
- The Pixies - Wild Honey Pie
- William Shatner - Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
- Otis Redding - A Hard Day’s Night
I’ve been trying to track down the Runaways’ version of Eight Days a Week but haven’t found it yet… if I do, I’d add that one in too.

See, nobody cares about the Beatles. Try posting about 24 if you want to get some comments.
Dude! Did you see the end of 24 two weeks ago? I saw that coming, but really, can you believe that Audrey freaked out like that? She should have known that was Jack’s M.O. I went to the Giants’ game last week, so I missed the most recent episode. Did you Tivo it? That would be so absolutely perfect that I might even let you kiss me.
grr… see this page for an explanation of trevor’s comment. actually trevor and I have agreed on a truce wherein I give 24 another chance if he watches Firefly.
