Ive been challenged by Stuart Strathearn to post a current favourite track for the next five days. DAY THREE. Magazine didnt cover too many songs but when they did, they sort of stripped them back, streamlined them, applied some Technicolor ™ gloss and squeezed them through the mangler. Goldfinger by John Barry, Thank You by Sly and the Family Stone - these just shouldnt have worked, yet Howard Devoto and co managed to make them their own. Captain Beefhearts I Love You, You Big Dummy is perhaps their covers triumph, turning Don Van Vliets bluesy stomper into something thats nothing short of explosive (adapting the lyrics, somewhat). The last minute of this record is a hair-on-the-back-of-the-neck moment. In fact, both sides of the Give Me Everything 7 are superlative.
