hi handsome! Another weekend, another cover show? I’m not complaining, especially when the show in question features a Modern Lovers tribute band. Remember the Modern Lovers? Remember sitting with your stupid friends laughing at the line “Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole,” and wondering why no one else thought it was funny? Well, you can sing your heart out with like-minded souls to the tribute band at the Seahorse this Saturday (10:30pm, $6), along with Iggy and the Stooges and Blondie. We asked the responsible musicians to share their favorite tribute songs with us and tell us why their

Cover Me Badd
As most of you well know, cover songs are tricky beasts. A bad cover can permanently derail a career (see Madonna’s version of “American Pie” or a recurring nightmare I have called “Puff Daddy, Come with Me.”) But sometimes what begins as a fanboy/fangirl trifle can sometimes evolve into a moment of career-defining genius.

Myles Deck and the Fuzz versus Cuban Assassins
The only misstep on this split seven-inch might be the upside-down back cover. Both bands commit some of their best material to vinyl and the result just might be the best release in the From Here to There catalogue. The Fuzz offer up “Lights Out!
