Patti Smith on Leno tonight
 

Just a heads up to anyone interested.

She covers Teen Spirit on her new album. Bleh
Thank you though

She covers a bunch of songs on her new album. It's a covers album. It happens.

Anyway, I hear it's trash, and I don't doubt that.

hm, a pity i dont watch tv

Maybe I will record it.

tape, capture & upload

Oh I have it on dvr or some crap like that. It is a hassle really it is. I should bum a tape from my mom. She's been recording the news since 9/11.

She's always done lots of covers on her albums in the past. And most of not all of the tracks on Twelve are covers she's done live over the years and just has never included on an album.

If I would have peeped Twelve's tracklist beforehand, I might have guessed that she'd do "Gimmie Shelter" in a clean-blues roadhouse styl tonight. It was a good version. Of course, the original is one of rock 'n' roll's greatest tunes, so to even attempt it takes brass balls.
