America's cover of Golden

[...vacuuman...]

not sure if this has been posted already, but this is from America's forthcoming record... http://www.stereogum.com/archives/004277.html

it's basically the exact same song, except with some washed-up dude who drinks metamucil every morning doing the singing.  way to "reinterpret" it, guys.  their version really adds nothing to the song, just broadens the audience to the AARP.  not that that's a bad thing.

I hate to say this, but that version sounds pretty good.  Honestly, the song is so melodic with such nice lyrics, it would be hard to fuck it up I think.  America almost did with the harmonica, though.

There'a a thread on this already......
