Premee Mohamed: Not yet but FUN FACT I just discovered Okkervil River like a couple of weeks ago, when the lead singer of one of my favourite bands was doing a Patreon session on zoom And I literally made a note to go find and listen to more of their stuff!

I'm gonna be a dork-ass loser (again) and say that I like 'Waterloo Sunset' a lot more by Def Leppard than by The Kinks The original has a weird ?? haunted Victorian dolls singing in a glass box ?? effect The cover just feels more wholesome somehow

Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

WHOA I love the Kinks version specifically for that effect, but now I must hear the cover! BRB

Have you listened to Okkervil River's Famous Tracheotomies? Not a cover, but it references/uses the Kinks song in a way I really enjoy.

Excellent, it's all coming together! What was the favourite band?

Stars! Torq does a live DJ session for Patrons every Friday and I love it, I've discovered so much cool music, I put on my wireless headphones and go do housework or laundry while I listen. :)

When there is nothing left to burn…

I haven't listened to them in quite a while, but that sounds like a good time and a great Friday tradition!
