Absolutely awesome cover of Pink Floyd's Lucifer Sam

[Abu Pepe]

by MGMT

Best cover of this song since Love and Rockets in the 80s

1. when Mt St helens blew her top and we were in absolute darkness in the middle of the day...

...we filled the bath tub with water, rolled a joint and played Hey You full blast thru a speaker out the window.

2. Think it was actually bauhaus in the 80's :)

I know, almost the exact same thing ... like new order to joy division

4. Love and Rockets did it on the Express album

Couldn't find a Bauhaus version. But like you said almost the same thing. Bauhaus did do an awesome Bowie Ziggy Stardust cover, as I am sure you know.

Edited to say the MGMT singer does sound like Peter Murphy.

7. Well I'll be damned ... was that on the original 1987 (?) release of that disc?

Or was it added later in an expanded re-issue? For some reason I don't remember that being on there back in the day.

8. 2001 re-issue

Never realized that. I bought the cassette in 86/87 (which apparently didn't have it) but the 2 times I bought it on disc it was there. Guess I thought it always was.

9. Kay I'm not crazy then ...

My thinking on it being BH rather than L&R was that I had all L&R's records back in the day (I probably still know most of the words of most songs on Earth Sun Moon) & didn't recall it being on any of 'em, but I had a vague association of one of the two having covered that song.

How's your 'Peter Murphy song' comin' BTW?

Take Care Abu...

10. Earth Sun Moon was their best album imho

My stuff: gonna start recording better versions this weekend hopefully. It will still be with free audacity software but I now have a real microphone and a digital interface. So we shall see.

Thanks for asking. Are you writing or recording?

3. That made me get out my vinyl copy of Piper At The Gates Of Dawn...good ol'Syd Barrett.
