Best Carpenters cover.

Sonic Youth have always been high on my list of bands I thought I should like, but just never did. Here's a big exception: their cover of the Delaney and Bonnie jam (made most famous by the Carpenters) is equal parts melody and melancholy... just as a tragicbeauty jam should.

My next few Jams are going to be some of my favourite cover versions. Starting with Sonic Youth's version of "Superstar", written by Leon Russell, but made famous by The Carpenters.

I know this Carpenters' cover divides people, but it's been stuck in my head and I've been singing it all morning, so I thought I'd inflict it upon you... :)
