Today’s (Awful) Song of the Day is Champagne Supernova covered by Matt Pond PA. I normally like covers, they can be fun, and they can even improve the original. But then you have covers that make you want to start kicking teeth and slashing throats, and this cover of Champagne Supernova belongs right at the top of that category. I hate it so much. It makes me so angry to listen to it. And it’s not like I’m madly in love with Oasis. I know that Oasis isn’t the greatest of bands, but they have their moments and singles. And for Matt Pond PA to produce such a terrible cover, I can only assume they are the worst band in the entire world. And you know, it’s the only song by them I have.
To restore balance to the force, here is one of my favorite covers by The Wedding Present, Getting Better.
