ok, i'm trying to put together a list of all the songs that jamie (et al) have covered from previous bands. here's what i have:
originally IBOPA:
“Hives” (xiu xiu as “Hives Hives” - Knife Play)
“When You Write” (XITSJ as “When You Write {Black Angels Version}” - My Very Private Map)
originally XITSJ:
“Sad Girl” (by xiu xiu as “sad pony guerilla girl” - A Promise)
“Helsabot” (by xiu xiu as “helsabot” - Fag Patrol)
“I Love the Valley” (by xiu xiu as “I Luv the Valley {OH!}” - Fabulous Muscles)
“Pink City” (A Promise) has roots in a track on “Eat Death! Orphans”
“King Earth King Earth” (Chapel of the Chimes & Fag Patrol) and “Luber” (Knife Play) are mentioned in a quote by jamie, although I am unsure as to their original foundations
any help correcting this would be greatly appreciated. thanks

hi
luber was recorded as aN IBOPA song but never put out on anything. the xiu xiu version, as with the others you mentioned is a reworking of it.
i think you have everything else.
oh, for pink city. the music is unrelated, but the lyrics are taken from 2 songs on eat death orphans. half from hot karl and half from house quake 2 and i think there are a couple of new parts.

Those interested in tracking down these songs should start here: www.absolutelykosher.com/merchandise.htmland purchase the Ten in the Swear Jar cd "My Very Private Map," which features both "Helsabot" and "Sad Girl." I bought it based on Dr. Strangelove's recommendation and it's very interesting to hear these songs (two of my favorite Xiu Xiu songs) in their early manifestation. The cd has some other great stuff on it, and is essential to hardcore Xiu Xiu fans! As for this list of pre-Xiu Xiu songs, it would be great to have release information as well, such as album title, label, and date (that is, which IBOPA release has "Hives," and when did it come out?) I also wanted to thank Jamie for his input. I think it's awesome that he takes such an interest in this board! |
