I thought the "totally different head" ref in the intro was a clue, but nay.
Let's get right to it.

e-mail is down, sez Dave. As is the KFOG player -- but the WM Player link on our page works fine.

I've always been bored by this version of Sweet Jane.  I like the Junkies, but this is just insipid.  That song lives by the riff, and this version ain't got it.

Can't listen in the office this morning, but doubt I'm gonna be missing much.  Might go do some errands & listen a bit in the car.  Catch y'all later.

Agreed.  Heard an interview with Margo once in which she talked about how they were just as happy they had a hit with a cover as they would have been if they'd had a hit with a song that they wrote themsleves, because "we put so much work into our covers."  And I remember thinking "Gee, that's really too bad.  You put so much work into it and it still sucks."

Here's that weird remix of "Tumblin Down" that I've only ever heard on 10@10.
