Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless. -
The whole album is covers, as far as I know. Mostly old blues songs. Apparently the back story is that the REM guys were playing on Zevon's "official" solo album at the time, and they pretty much got drunk and did a bunch of covers for the Hell of it... and somebody eventually realized they might be able to sell it as an album. Wore out the cassette copy I had of the album. Took me years to find it on CD, as it had long been out of print at the time. Finally turned up in a local record store. Not sure if they ever did a re-issue or not.Eat Us And Smile

Hippy Hippy Shake?
I saw them that year, around Christmas. WMMS simulcast the show, it was a Sunday night. Found a recording of it a few years ago. A nice surprise.
They played Hippy Hippy Shake late in the set and 2/3rds of the crowd left right after.
Got to see Dan Baird twice over the last couple years. He's retired from touring.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Georgia Satellites biggest hit was actually an original though. How could you forget this one?
Sounded like it COULD have been a Stones cover, but it wasn't.Eat Us And Smile
