   dermahrk says I'm surprised to say I'm on the positive side of the fence on this one. It probably helps that it is not, IMHO, a superior Lennon track to begin with, thus leaving a lot of room for improvement. Plus...No Yoko! Always a big plus....

   scotfree says That's alrighty, it's a good cover anywayz. Hey, in one of my close brushes with fame, Breeder drummer Jim MacPherson lives in a house I used to own. He bought it once removed from our occupancy, and shocked the small town realtor by plunking down the cash purchase amount. It's a beautiful two story brick that was built as a church in 1890, and remodled in the 1920s. I've spoke to him a few times, seems like a great guy!

    Spike says This version's new to me. You're right about the (Breeders'?) vocal seeming too cool/detached, at least at the end after the "Mother Superior jumped the gun" part. As everyone knows, starting "with four bars of common time, the first section changes key for and eight-and-three-quarter bar passage (1 x 4/4, 1 x 2/4, 6 x 4/4, 1 x 1/4, 1 x 4/4), before moving to the second section: twice around ten bars in 3/8 (grouped as 3 + 4 + 3) with the extra complication of a rising two-bar bass phrase in canon with the vocal. After one tacit bar, the third section arrives: thrice around a highly unstable structure analysable as 1 x 6/8, 1 x 8/8, 1 x 4/8, 1 x 6/8, 1 x 8/8, 1 x 6/8. The closing section consists of four bars of 4/4, twelve of 3/8 (with the drums continuing in 4/4!), four of 4/4, and out-of-tempo pause on F minor, and five final bars of 4/4," as Ian MacDonald puts in _Revolution in the Head_. I read somewhere that this was Lennon's favorite track from the White Album; his having written it probably had something to do with that. It's good to finally see your well-chiseled cheek bones.
