It's too bad I'm a hard sell when it comes to Hope & Mazzy covers by other artists. I've not yet heard one that
I like nearly as much as the originals, & I'm left bored by all the Fade Into You covers. I've been much more "wowed" by a few songs whose composition is obviously influenced by Mazzy Star rather than covers. For instance, I love Dum Dum Girls' "Coming Down,"

Hope said in 2013 "I really like Beach House." I don't always agree with Hope's artist picks, but I agree with her re. Beach House!
Malavita: Could I pose a suggestion? How about editing the name of your post here from " 'Feeling of Gaze' by Twilight Singers" to something like "Mazzy, Hope, & David covers by other artists"? Then we'd have a useful new thread where people could post stuff re. ALL such covers, with your post re. Feeling of Gaze being first in a series. That would be much better, imo, than creating a whole new thread for ONE cover by one band, the Afghan Whigs. One of the benefits of this site vs. the Facebook Group is it is organized into useful categories/sections/archives whereas the FB Mazzy/Hope Group is just one long series of random posts to scroll through with no organization whatsoever. We don't need a new thread for each new comment here, imo. It just makes the site more unwieldy & confusing to navigate. So, I vote this thread gets re-named to being a generic category for covers in general. And you're just the person who can do it! (I can't).
