Elastica was actually sued by Wire’s publishers, but any song that name-checks Wire scores bonus points in my book. Gotta love the Warhols.

I’m sorry, where did you say you were staying when you’re in town in, what, two weeks?

and upon further listening to this version i have to say i’d rather listen to fingernails going down a chalkboard. i know you love the dandy warhols, as do i, but this bites. none of the covers of this song reach the spare beauty of the original and most come close to blasphemy. so this song perhaps is one that should be left to the beatles.

super sorry.

That was a *different* version of “Blackbird”, to be certain. Lush and moody, compared to the crisp and sparse one Paul McCartney recorded so many years ago…But beautiful in its own way. I can see why you wanted to share it with us. Thank you.
