Tribute Album Madness

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Inspired suggestion of the 'Head doing Sec Mod! I can hear it clear as daylight, done in Bends mode, nice gentle chorus, guitars cranking up for chorus.

I must say I love The Weakerthans as a band name, I always like to imagine they stress 'ker' not 'Wea' for perversity. Is their music anywhere near as good as their name?
