Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
There’s a band called Flin Flon, and they have an album called A-Ok. I talk about it a lot. Flin Flon is a band comprised of a guy named Mark Robinson. Mark is an old DC punk. His first band was called Unrest. They were really, really good also. He started a record label called Teen-Beat Records. The most popular band on Teen-Beat is probably /-. That’s probably the biggest band, success-wise that Teen-Beat has ever had. (via My Favorite Thing: Telekinesis on Flin Flon’s A-Ok - Michael Lerner on his Favorite Album | Under The Radar)
Few things come as more of a surprise than the third day of SXSW. Despite all you did the day before was stroll a few blocks, see a few bands, and have a drink with a friend (shout out to Peché’s absinthe cocktails), you wake up feeling like you were hit by a tour bus. Clearly I haven’t trained for this kind of thing. Regardless of superficial whine-inducing aches, the night was filled with heavy hitters: TOY, Charles Bradley, Sharon Jones, and Telekinesis.

What better way to say, “I understand your ennui” than via cover song? Kinda like a birthday card that reminds you of your impending demise, covering a sad song can either be a killjoy, or evidence of a slyly perverse humor. For the final entry (for now anyway) in our ongoing “Cover Me” series, we took a look at our favorite Smiths and Morrissey covers. Check out our top ten favorite tributes to the maudlin musicians.
