this is not my tune, but it's mine to use.
Really, the first in Eric Metronome's weekly offering of one cover song for every week in 2006 should have been the one that he shared on September 20th. The entire argument being the lyric quoted as the title of this post. That said, let's backtrack.
Eric Metronome is from Columbus, Ohio. He used to be in a band called Tiara. He's legitimately "big" in Japan, and we are now within a month of the release of his eighth solo album. You Should Be Happy will be his first for a "real" label. That label is Sunken Treasure Records, which is also home to The Celebrity Pilots. Eric's new album, which has already started to become blog buzzworthy, will make 2006 an important year for him, and in pre-celebration, he brought US gifts. He's been recording a cover song every week this year. Covered artists have included Pedro The Lion, Spoon, M Ward, The Mountain Goats, Syd Barrett, Sufjan Stevens, The Promise Ring, Band of Horses, John Lennon, Pat Benetar, John Vanderslice and more. These songs have offered new ears a great chance to get to know Eric Metronome through songs they already know and, in all probability, love. The goal is that those won-over ears will communicate with their owners to pick up You Should Be Happy, which displays Eric's own splendid songs. As good as any of the aforementioned covers have been up to this point, "Call It A Day" is that much better. That said, let's come full circle.
Joanna Newsom has turned a lot of heads and built a steady following since 2004's The Milk-Eyed Mender. She was perhaps described best by Owen's Mike Kinsella in November of that year in an interview on WBWC. "She really makes me wanna throw myself off a bridge. She plays a harp and sings and she's got an incredible voice and it's kinda like simple but complex. It's pretty perfect."
About three weeks ago, Eric covered Joanna Newsom's "Sadie," a song which I've had in my head numerous times since my girlfriend first introduced Joanna's harp-n-sqwalk to me. The truth is that I've never enjoyed repeatedly failing to love a musician so much. It's that quality that I do thoroughly enjoy about Joanna Newsom, and I have every intention to believe that her next (epic) album, Ys will make a believe of me, and that her live show with a backing orchestra will seal the deal.
Eric Metronome, on the other hand, has already sealed the deal for me. And I imagine it won't take much for him to convince you too.
Eric Metronome's "Call It A Day"
& "Time To Destroy"
from You Should Be Happy
Eric Metronome's "Sadie"
Joanna Newsom's "Sadie"
ONE COULD ARGUE THAT CHRISTMAS IS IN EIGHTY-TWO DAYS.
