Great collection for Cure and D.C. band fans alike.

"This is a compilation of D.C. bands doing Cure covers. It is pure genius. My favorites are "Friday I'm in Love" by Glo-Worm, "The Love Cats" by D.J. Bootious Maximus and "Jumping Someone Else's Train" by The Ropers. And I'm not biased because I grew up in D.C. Trust me ..."
Worth it for Dismemberment Plan

"I am not going to write a big review of this compilation, because to be honest, I don't really listen to it all that much. There are some decent cover versions of Cure classics, to be sure.
But if you are a Dismemberment Plan fan, you must get this to hear their version of Close to Me. It's really unbelievable. Not only a great cover of this Cure song, but stands out uniquely among DP's catalog. I sent DP an email requesting they play this at one of their last concerts before breaking up. One of the band responded that it would be impossible for them to perform without 2 turntablists on stage with them... hopefully that's enough to catch your curiosity at least."
