Random Devo Covers

As I finish up my review of last weekend’s New Pornographers/Okkervil River show and as I prepare for heading out to Indio, CA for Coachella this weekend, I thought I’d leave you with two fairly random Devo covers. The first, a song that I’ve posted before and back by request, is by one of my favorite bands, Baboon. The second is by Soundgarden and is from a limited-edition EP called SOMMS (Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas) that was sold with Badmotorfinger for a while in 1992/1993. The EP also featured a Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath cover.

MP3: Baboon – Gates of Steel
MP3: Soundgarden – Girl U Want
