It’s funny how things happen. My friend Pinar, ever the Jeremy Enigk connoisseur, brought to my attention an article in which The Man himself references a cover of his song Burn. He actually says, “Another band covered ‘Burn’ on a tribute record and made it amazing. It was way cooler than my version, so when I recorded it, I had to rethink it.” Which tribute was he referring to? This one. Whose version of Burn is he referring to? Mine. Needless to say, I am now covered in vomit.
I love Jeremy Enigk so much. I recommend checking out that tribute while you’re at it, for some interesting interpretations of his solo work, re-imagined by hardcore fans. I know Pinar would be tickled if she knew I encouraged more people to download an MP3 of her singing Chewing Gum, mwa ha ha ha. Seriously though, I’ve never received such a compliment, so many thanks to Pinar for filling the sails of my egoship with just a little more hot air. I wonder if there’s any way I can put that on my resumé.
