I think they may have jumped the shark on that one. While I dig a lot of their covers, I dig their original stuff even more. Kind of hate to see them becoming a 'cover band.'

O wonder if that's kinda how jazz works these days if you want to sell records: build the jazz on a familiar pop foundation, sell the music. It's nothing new, though: Coltrane's cover of "A Few of My Favorite Things"
Brad Mehldau seems to do it a lot, too: Brad Mehldau's cover of "Paranoid Android"
"Remake" of Lady Gaga's "Telephone." Far superior.

Hell, Miles covered showtunes. ("Surrey With A Fringe On Top"? Srsly?) A melody's a melody. Gotta start somewhere.
Anyway, as a listener - as a performer, too - it's nice to have a familiar melody or change to fall back on. Like being out in the ocean, nearly lost in a storm, but still able to catch a glimpse of shore every so often.

Indeed, and TBP are berkeleying masters of that E36 M3.
And shame on me; looks as though their new record is all originals. Methinks I needs that.
Anybody on earth thats recorded "Sunday Morning Coming Down">Kris Kristofferson.
Anybody recording anything>Bob Dylan.
There. That should get the hate mail flowing. Its funny cause its true.
Note I said nothing about the quality of song WRITING.
The Black Keys covering Junior Kimbrough on Chulahoma. Credit to Junior but The Black Keys just have an awesome sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNSzTN7rI5w
I'll throw in Clutch "Electric Worry" > Mississippi Fred McDowell "Worried Mind "
I guess I just like good rock/blues bands covering good blues....

Their version of the Beatles "She Said, She Said" is awesome, but not better than the original. Worth mentioning, though.

Tomorrow Never Knows is one of my favorite Beatles songs, so I'm VERY biased. I've never heard the Hedges version and I can't say it does a thing for me. All of the energy, bombast, texture, mood and beauty managed to get sucked out of that cover. The original defined psychedelic rock (from a studio standpoint, not a jam band standpoint) and was lightyears ahead of its time (no one was doing layers of guitar noise and effects at that point). The Hedges version just sounds like a precursor to Jack Johnson (and yes, I know Hedges is a guitar geek god--I read about him in all the guitar mags in the 80's/90's).
The Chemical Brothers use a very similar backing track (as the Beatles version) in "Setting Sun" FWIW
Had to bring this back from the dead for this pep band playing rage
