The album has gotten rave reviews in every Norwegian paper (wooo!!), and not
only does Cash cover Soundgarden, he also does a Beck song (which isn't as
strange since Beck has quite a bit of a roots influence) and several covers of
other 'modern' bands. Is Cash cashing in on "Geneation X" (blah!)? If he is,
he's doing it with style though....

On a totally different note, I saw a new album by Cathedral, where there is
a song called 'Cyclops Revolution' - wow! A Monster Magnet song?? No!! I
checked it, and it's something entirely different - I wonder if it was
conscious or not,
it's not every day somebody sits down and thinks 'Yeah... Cyclops
Revolution... nobody's used that! That's a good title!' Oh well, I thought
it was odd.

Has anybody heard the new Donovan yet?
