I have that album. I think some of the covers are pretty good; you're a little harsh on it. The Eels one I like a lot but you're right about the Beck version being shit. I have never 'got' Beck.

i am just a huge believer in covers being done well. covers should add soemthing to the song. beck ruined my favourite song. especially when you hear j spaceman do the first song and turn it into something so heartwrenching and amazing then some little scientologist quasi fuck prat screws it hard? FUCKED!
wtf is thistle?
eels just sounded like eels. ie. utter gobshite.

most of the covers are shit and for some reason they're all made much longer than the originals.

becks, the rabbits, bright eyes, starlight mints are all double the length. and that Vic Chesnutt fellow takes monkey in a zoo (my favourite song) from 2:20 to 5:20!!! I dunno why but they all stretched them out ridiculously.

I noticed rock this town wasn't covered but was on the Daniel Johnston side, at over 6 minutes it probably would have taken up an entire CD if they'd let one of those dorks touch it.

That said I like Gusters cover of The Sun Shines Down On Me.
