5 out of 5 stars Jon Has Every Right..........2005-07-01

First of all, to the reviewer from Bellingham, nice GBV rant, unfortunately, you picked on the wrong EP. Secondly, covers are just fine, especially if they are done with the new artists interpretation. Let's face it the Madonna cover was better than ANYTHING Madonna has ever done and the other tunes definitely have the Jon Auer touch and that is great with me.

2 out of 5 stars Hey! I'm out of Material.......2001-11-06

Yuck!

Yes, there are some nice things done to other people's music, but overall I'm forced to say, "Why bother?"

If your claim to fame is "you're a song writer" then write some songs, It's true "gold star for robot boy" would help the total package" but, as a music listener just go out and buy a Guided by Voices CD, any GBV record...I've done a ton of GBV remakes, I'll give them to you free no charge, am I allowed to say that? (email me) and this CD should be free too. Jon Auer is without a doubt very talented and deserves a listen; try "frosting on the beater" for starters, actually anywhere is a better starting place than here.

5 out of 5 stars an ep's worth of covers.......2001-05-09

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!
