An ep's worth of covers

"Continuing the astounding flurry of Posies activity of the past year-and-a-half or so is this Jon Auer solo ep of covers. While his interpretations may not be revelatory ("Love My Way" sounds like he went into a karaoke booth), his song choices are wonderful (Psychedelic Furs, Grant Hart, Madonna). And his version of Ween's great "Baby Bitch" is damn close to a revelation. A brilliant, spiteful song performed in a brilliant spiteful manner (as only Jon can) and not sandwiched between songs about ponies and diseases!Kind of a shame that his fine version of Guided By Voices' "Gold Star For Robot Boy" (available on The Perfect Size ep) didn't make it here, but cest la vie."
