After spending much of the day listening to live Alkaline Trio songs, I just want to say that I wish Agony & Irony wasn’t so painful to listen to. Many of those songs are really good and when played live really sound great, but just sound totally blah on the album. So I did come across (thanks to Switchblade Comb)the following video of Tegan Quin (of Tegan & Sara, duh) performing on the Alkaline Trio’s cover of the T&S song “Wake Up Exhausted,” and just sorta fell in love. So much that I clipped the original Spinner podcast (which has 4 other songs with an interview that you can download here) down to just the T&S cover for your listening pleasure.

And while you are at it, go over to Asian Man Records and order yourself the remastered version of Alkaline Trio’s best album Goddamnit, kay? You’ll thank me later.

this is possibly worse than the white stripes covering “walking with a ghost”. WTF is with the mix? You can’t hear tegan at all. Why is it that macho bands just don’t get tegan and sara, and try to just power through it without any nuance?
