Take Cover! The Polyphonic Spree Vs. Nirvana

September 16, 2009
When is a cover song better than the original? Only you can decide. This week: The Polyphonic Spree takes on Nirvana’s “Lithium.” MAGNET’s Edward Fairchild pulls the pin. Take cover! Tim DeLaughter and his cult share the Kool-Aid and cast some sunshine on "Lithium," Kurt Cobain's dark ode to finding religion as a last resort. This version was released on the Spree's 2006 Wait EP. When Nirvana cut the original, Cobain blew out his voice. The Spree probably blew some minds.

    It would be a lot better if the PS’s lead singer didn’t sound like Richard Simmons.

    Official Ironman…Hmmm, judging by your name, i have to admit your opinion of my sounding like Richard Simmons does hold some weight, pun intended. I kinda agree with ya i guess.
    I just wished I looked as good as he does in those sexy shorts, as I’m “sweating to the oldies”
