This is a cover suggested by Cuthbert, started it weeks ago and only just managed to get back to it to finish it.
I recently broke my sennheiser headphones and struggled to get a mix with the cheapo headphones, so if it sounds odd let me know, I might have another go at the mix.

The song was written as a tribute to The Ramones.

I Heard Ramona Sing
Frank Black

I don't know the original, but I can tell this is sheer quality all the way. Absolute perfection on the arrangement and mix to my ears. And every part is brilliantly performed. Classy as hell. Amazing stuff!

fmgwabp...such sterling performance and production, Burtog! You absolutely nailed the guitar sound, the synths, the vocals - the works! I listened first on my iPhone and now my laptop, and the mix sounds very well-balanced. Going to hit it with the good cans next.

Somehow, I just knew you would hit this one out of the park!  :)

I knew that at the time too, but I also think of it as Frank Black's fond farewell to The Pixies. It sounds like it could have come right off of Trompe Le Monde, and in my opinion, The Pixies from Surfer Rosa to there could do no wrong.

Today's objective is to go through your jukebox.

I wanted to be scarce on comments, but the first song already deserves a bump!
