The Lemonheads' versions of Susanne Vega's 'Luka', Mike Nesmith's 'Different Drum' and Simon and Garfunkel's 'Mrs Robinson' were undisputed classics. Varshons in sharp contrast features some well-known and less famous covers that are lacklustre at best and downright embarrassing in places.Among the lacklustre tracks are opener 'I Just Can't Take It Anymore', originally by Gram Parsons.

Perhaps Evan Dando's lawyers waited a bit too long, as General Motors just filed for bankruptcy last week, but Dando filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the American car company on Saturday at Los Angeles federal court, BBC reports. GM...

The Lemonheads lead-off single from the upcoming covers record, Varshons, features the soft and raspy-voiced actress Liv Tyler helping sing Leonard Cohen’s “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye.” We know Tyler’s father is Steven Tyler of Aerosmith-fame, but seriously? It’s a an odd combination to say the least. Varshons, due out June 23, also includes songs by Townes Van Zandt, Wire, Gram Parsons ...

Well, thanks to a frankly improbable convergence of personal, professional and financial crises, this is a full two weeks later than I’d promised. Sorry about that. Without further ado, it’s time to talk about ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’.Rhino Records have reissued the Lemonheads 1992 fifth album. I liked the Lemonheads back when this first came out, I remember them as a likeable, relatively inoff...

Sometimes there is a band that sticks to you the way peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth. This band for me has been the Lemonheads and they have seemed to have stuck to me like Jiffy. I think it was because it was one of the first bands I "discovered" in my first year of college, and hold each of their albums in a special place near my heart. Most people know them for their remake of...

Okay, let me be frank. By all rights I did not want to get this LP. My normal filter would have had me flee a "reuniting" of a band I really liked back in the day, and if I needed a second reason there'd be the fact that nobody actually reunited; it's just Evan Dando with a new posse. In some ways I felt it was also disrespecting the great work old 'heads have gone on to do, especially Julia...

Product DescriptionIt makes sense that the new album from The Lemonheads feels like a cool mix tape slipped to you by a music-obsessed friend anxious to turn you on to something new. VARSHONS was produced by Haynes, mixed by ex-Cornershop guru Anthony Saffrey, and features Dando along with Vess Ruhtenburg (bass) and Devon Ashley (drums). The collection is filled with strange bedfellows - from G...

Wow, don't call it a comeback, Evan Dando has returned. The Lemonheads have a new covers album Varshons due in June. The first song from this sessions is a brilliantly bare rendition of Leonard Cohen's Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye with Liv Tyler on vocals. It's like a duet of two star crossed lovers who are wishing their romance will endure. Evan sounds a little Cohen-esque, not Leonard 2...

Shuffle was really *REALLY* good to me today... After my dose of *+HARDER+* stuff... seriously people - *ACOUSTIC on a MONDAY ???????????????* we need to stage a revolt :) Anyway, by early afternoon I was ready for some lighter faire... threw the pod into _(puts hand to the side of mouth & whispers)_ *shuff mode* & once again the pod takes be back to hanging out in Kristin's dorm room freshman ...

I've been grooving to this Lemonheads outtake Purple Parallelogram today. Featuring Noel Gallagher this is a song that was destined to be on Evan's 1996 album Car Button Cloth. Why was it left off the record you ask? I'll let Evan explain the situation:"Oh, it was about these Rohypnol I used to get prescribed — these sleeping tablets. And Noel (Gallagher) got up in the morning and started singi...

...I think I could accomplish so much more with my time here on this planet!I guess I have always known this about myself, but last night it sort of crystallized. I was just talking to a female friend about life in general and I get so close mouthed and deflective...i just am not at all comfortable talking about myself. But sit me in front of a keyboard and I will happily bare my deepest and mo...
