Dude, this is way fucking cool. Thnx.
ReplyDeleteI know (own) several of these versions but I'm surprised I hadn't heard some of the others such as Slayer, ATR and GG Allin...how the hell did I miss these???
ReplyDeleteThanks!
& yet this is but a sampling. There are countless others.
DeleteThanks for the comment(s).
Wow, did you put this together yourself, Nathan?
ReplyDeleteYes sir, I did.
ReplyDeleteIn August of last year I posted up American Taboo. I remarked in the following post (Art Phag) that I had ventured into a terrifying folder I had ominously designated "Musick that NEEDS WORK".
I decided to dip in, fix the issues, & post the results as I saw fit. I got through the alphabet to F by the end of last year.
In March I kinda got back to it with the Garbage Collector - 1988 release.
Well, I reached letter I the other day & found a mind-numbing mess that had been growing for years...collected versions of "I Wanna Be Your Dog". I rolled up my sleeves, dug in, & went to work. I believe there were a total of 78 version, which I pared down to the above 50 (some versions were beyond repair & some just weren't worth fixing). It was just one of those crazy ideas, but now it's down & I have been able to move on.
I guess that's the long answer to a succinct question.
I recently saw this kind of compilation referred to as a "song swarm".
ReplyDeleteHey, I think I like that...song swarm. How about a blog of nothing but song swarms.
DeleteThank you for the glowing endorsement. Hope you find much to enjoy. Any problems with files, let me know. Live free!
