ok, so what does everyone think about caralee's "helsabot"?
personally, i was pretty unimpressed. the live version at tonic was horrid, and seeing her perform it live was a little better, but i would have preferred if jamie sang it. her voice definately fit the quiet, awkward nature that is present in the original xitsj and xiu xiu versions, but it didn't seem nearly as strong. i was hoping for something comparable to maureen tucker's additions to the few velvets songs she sang on, or even rachel's singing from the decemberists. any other opinions?

Does anyone have an mp3 of this? I really want to hear it and they didn't play this one at the Winston-Salem show. Thanks!

i think it is so much better than it ever has been.
cory mcculloch of xiu xiu saw her sing it san francisco and confided to me that it made him cry. he never said that about it when i sang it. it is her song now for sure.
i am not saying this becasue i have to sit in a van with her for the rest of the year but becasue it is true and i would encourage people to try and hear her do it. she is really living that song in a way i never ever could.

wow people are a bit critical of her. i think she did really well, i heard this rendition at the smell show and i think it was great. she seems like a really nice person.. she rocked the MICROKORG! im so jelous of her keyboard tones... mine are not half as good.
p.s. i noticed how insane some xiu xiu fans are about jamie stewart.... the fans are ver similar ot older smashing pumpkins fans... and not to mention morrisey fans. watch out jamie.. some crazies out there.
