A must have for serious fans of Love Is All, this is a CD-R of 5 cover songs the band has put together on their own. For those of you who haven't been able to catch them live and pick up the cd in a DIY paper sleeve the size of a playbill, eMusic has the exclusive rights to the tracks with a bonus track of the Pastels cover "Nothing to Be Done" plus one original song off their upcoming long player.
The track listing on the CD:
1) Kung Fu on the Internet - Lung Leg (sounds like it could be a Love is All original)
2) I Ran - A Flock of Seagulls (fun, especially for those with a hard on for the 80s)
3) So Far Away - Dire Straits ( I was suspicious of this one but it works as a ballad perfectly)
4) Fucking Hell - Jed Dmochowski ( Called Golly Gosh on the tracklisting and eMusic)
5) Darling Nikki - Prince (My least favorite of the covers, in theory it is a good idea but it doesn't work beyond the intro - it sounds like a cat being strangled during the choruses)
eMusic does not have the Prince cover but to be honest you aren't missing much there. If you are a Love Is All completest I would recommend checking on EBAY for the CD-R.
