I have completed episode 61 of my “opus project,” in which I listen to a band’s full discography from start to finish. This episode: CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN. It mystifies me why this wasn’t my favorite band in college, or wasn’t in regular rotation after that. Still time to rectify that oversight.
Favorite album: Telephone Free Landslide Victory
Favorite song (original): Take the Skinheads Bowling
Favorite song (cover): Interstellar Overdrive. Few covers ever top the original, but this is one. And the original was one of the best things Pink Floyd ever did.
Hidden gem: Tusk, a song-for-song remake of the Fleetwood Mac album. Whaaa? Bonus points for the mere concept. And not poorly done.
Fine return to eclectic form: New Roman Times (2004)
Compared to expectations: same
