Score 20 Years Of Merge Records The Covers Rarity

Merge Records celebrates its first twenty years with SCORE!- a compilation of covers done by non-Merge artists. Score 20 Years Of Merge Records The Covers Rarity SHEPARD FAIREY ON DESIGNING THE MISFITS 40TH ANN. To kick off the Misfits 40th Anniversary, (which we'll continue to.

By: An amazing version of Crooked Fingers’ “Sleep All Summer” by with, Smog-man taking on Versus’ “Santa Maria,” sprucing up Lambchop’s “Cowboy On The Moon” and doing a better version of “Kicked In” than Superchunk themselves are just a few of the highlights on Merge Records’ 20th anniversary celebration compilation. The twist of this 20-track set is different artists covering their favorite songs from the label’s extensive back catalog, which (released April 7) certainly acknowledges when looking at the track listing, which handsomely showcases the diversity and intelligence with which Mac McCaughan captains his ship – as smart and cohesive as the songs he writes as. However, you certainly don’t need to hear butcher The Clean’s “Complications” or ‘ cheese out Superchunk’s “Like A Fool,” nor lilting their way through “New Ways of Living” from Destroyer’s New Ways of Living. So, cherry pick this otherwise spotty compilation on iTunes. Or better yet, break out your faithful copy of your own Merge fave to enjoy (1992’s Cor-Crane Secret by, inexplicably unpicked for this Score! Compilation, is in desktop rotation as we speak) if you really wanna celebrate the existence of this legendary indie imprint.
