A few additions from a Sonic Smartass
And also, a few I'm wondering about.
Could you give some details on these:
The Byrds, The B-52's, Patty Waters, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Tim Rogers, The Modern Lovers.
Here's my contribution:
Beat Happening (Thurston, Kim, and Epic Soundtracks on "Fortune Cookie Prize")
Burt Bacharach (Thurston with Jim O'Rourke on "All Kinds of People Love Burt Bacharach")
Fleetwood Mac (Lee, Steve, and J Mascis on "Just Tell Me That You Want Me")
Guided by Voices (Thurston & Steve in Male Slut on "Blatant Doom Trip")
The Hanatarash (Lee on "Snake is Long...")
Haruomi Hosono (Thurston on "Strange Songbook")
Jandek (Thurston in Dapper on "Naked in the Afternoon")
John Cage (Thurston on "45'18")
John Fahey (Lee on "I Am the Ressurection")
Michael Chapman (Thurston on "Oh Michael, Look What You've Done")
The New Blockaders (Thurston on "Viva Negativa!", not sure if this really is a cover or some other form of tribute)
Pearls Before Swine (Thurston & Mike Watt on "For the Dead in Space")
Shirley & Dolly Collins (Lee on "Shirley Inspired...")
Stick Men with Ray Guns (Thurston & Steve on Dim Stars EP)
Suicide (Thurston with White Flag on "An Invitation to Suicide")
Sun Ra (Thurston with Ezra La Plante on "Wavelength Infinity")
The Wipers (Thurston & Keith Nealy on "Fourteen Songs for Greg Sage and the Wipers")
X-Ray Spex (Kim in Free Kitten on 7")
