I'm gonna go with genre-jumping covers for $200, Alex.

Kid C, when you get a chance, can you drop me an email?

You know that Robert Reynolds of the Mavericks played with the power pop supergroup Swag, right?

I did not know that, but it doesn't surprise. The Mavericks have always come off as much, much smarter than they need to be...

What was that jangle tune that the Mavs did? What a Crying Shame?

Great tune.

BTW, Mary already guessed my guess.

It's something about the song itself. Or more specifically, the Tom Jones record of the song....
