so i haven't been here for a while, did a quick search but found nothing. if it's a repeat, i'm sorry, but the onion's a.v. club has a pretty cool cover song thing going on every week, and one song (still not chosen!) is "i will dare." here's superchunk doing the cure. cool. www.avclub.com/articles/the-cure,38884/

Find 25 established bands to click off 25 cover tunes from a predetermined list. Sorta like the way the contestants on American Idol are forced to select songs. Surprisingly it seems to be working.

Cool. I think Clem Burke doing an unironic Journey cover was my favorite, but Superchunk was a close second. Now I want to see Paul come in and do the Billy Squier tune. And maybe Tommy should stop by and do I Will Dare.

Mates of State, I Will Dare: onion.com/c0rD9DTalk about disappointing. What a half-assed cover of a song they clearly felt no connection to. I'm all for putting your own spin on things and making the song "yours" - but that was just an intolerable, lazy mess. something the mats might have done.

minus the slowed down parts, i thought the cover was just fine. i sort of liked the trumpet part, actually. the slow parts were something awful, though, and they ruined what could have been a passable, funish cover.
