Comay) > >i read somewhere about a new ep or lp by camper van beethoven being >released. is this true, or are they just talking about the `taking the >skinheads bowling' import on rough trade. > Yep, I bought it the other day. It's just called "Camper Van Beethoven Pitch-A-Tent Records/Rough Trade". It not great *overall*, but is worth buying for the excellent, almost authentic sounding cover of Pink Floyd's Interstellar Overdrive. Also on it is "Stairway to Heavan (sic)" which sounds in no way like the beloved Led Zeppelin tune. There's some good psychadelic sounding guitar work on side 1 by Chadbourne, and Soviet Spys swim upstream disguised as trout. The album is diverse as expected, with some ethnic flavor here, some country flavor there. Your choice. --John
