    'Sister Lovers' – so, so great. They are in my current script, Ukraine's 'most famous American band'. This is awful.

    who do you think did the best cover of Thriteen? I've got four covers myself. myy answer is obvious to those who know me – Elliott Smith…tthough it was either Tweedy solo or a Wilco show i saw tweedy do it, then remembered he Wilco used to pen for smith all the time during smith's bad time..2002-03

    Evan Dando's cover of it is pretty nice from Live At The Brattle Theatre

    YES! That's the other one I have. I love Dando's voice but still, he's not Elliott Smith or Alex Childton! Mustgive props to Alex Chilton today!!
