The Giant Panther

Want to know a great cover band? You may know them as The Foo Fighters, but they are one of the best cover bands around. I have copies of them doing Requiem by Killing Joke, Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty, I'm in Love With a German Film Star by The Passions, Born On The Bayou by Creedence Clearwater Revival and Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd. First of all, Dave Grohl and I could easily hang because he's got impeccable taste, but I love it when a perfectly fine successful rock & roll band has the nads to cover their heroes and pull it off. I love all of these original songs and I love The Foo Fighter covers. I'm going to try and do features on covers, a secret passion of mine, from now on as well. I'm loaded with those too. I am in constant search for these reworked nuggets.

I know I haven't been posting much lately and for that I am sorry. You see I'm one of those four million folks looking for work these days. I'm a high tech salesman by trade, but I might be flipping burgers soon if this keeps up. Plus, as every rotisserie baseball fan in the country knows, it is crunch time as we collectively prepare for the draft (or auction) this weekend. Come Monday it's play ball! The Final Four NCAA Championships are here and that means seamheads everywhere are back in business. Hope springs eternal or something. This is definitely the year right? Who knows? I won the whole 11 team league twice in going on 22 years now. Oh, I've got my five second place finishes, two third place finishes and four fourths (final money spot), but I've finished out of the money eight times now! 1996 and 2006 were my magical years, but I want my title back. I know you're bored to tears here, but wish me luck. If something else isn't going right maybe baseball can bring it back.

Regarding The Foo I've been stumbling on their covers, almost by the year, because who can afford CD singles in this market? That is where you will find most, if not all, of the aforementioned covers in question. This Pink Floyd cover I'm leaving you with is wicked. I love the Floyd to death and I love that Dave does too. This cover is completely respectful with a natural Foo Fighters overhaul. I love it. I hope you do too. You can find this on the 1999 Learn To Fly CD (Part I) Single. It really Kicks Out The Jams to coin a phrase. It Blows The Roof Off Tha Sucka. Blows Doors. Whatever. Talk soon!
