Mazzy, Hope, & David covers by other artists

Postby Malavita » Wed Mar 09, 2016 8:14 pm

Posted this on the Facebook group, but including it here too in case it was missed...

Greg Dulli from the Afghan Whigs covered Hope for his solo project. His interpretation takes a few liberties, but I for one think it's a cool version.Wondering if this is widely known here in the group:

Also, Hope's wikipedia entry states that she collaborated with this group, but I can't find a source for that. Can anyone confirm? Probably just confusing this cover I guess.

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,"

which obviously owes something to Fade Into You. Same with Beach House's Silver Soul:

with Mazzy Star influence I like. I gotten to like all Dum Dum Girls' & Beach House's music .
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).

I got to like J Mascis' version some, mainly 'cause of the guitar parts he came up with.
Not so crazy about his voice, though!
