Oh, and I would score all 20 on this list. Heck, even my gen Y kids would get close to 20. My gen alpha kid, though? Not even close.

Covers are such an interesting thing. We always compare them with the original and judge them as "worse" or "better". It's kind of an individual thing, I suppose.
Having said that, Gordon Lightfoot's original is a very tough act to follow for this particular ballad.

the bands style. At least as I know it from 2003's Welcome to the Monkey House. I can't say the 1999 version was recorded without emotion. I don't know what the emotional state of the singer was at the time. Courtney may never have known his cousin. He could still sing the song as an homage.

It may be a Mandela effect, but I seem to recall him playing Gordon Lightfoot's original version in class later on. Anyways, when I listen to Gordon's ballad, it never fails to evoke emotions with me.
Does the Dandy Warhol's 1999 version do that? Not so far. And yet, it's consistent with ... /2

I guess there's a couple of versions they made; I listened to the 1999 release I found on youtube, so my remarks are premised on that version.
I was about 14 when the Edm Fitzgerald went down. My gr 9 Geography 150 teacher, Mr. Sage, shared a news clipping in class for discussion. /1

After your mention, I had to search this out for myself. It's...different. But, I also learned that Dandy Warhol's singer-songwriter Courtney Taylor is a cousin of Michael Armagost, 3rd mate on the Edmund Fitzgerald, lost in the wreck. So, their cover is a sort of homage to a lost relative.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, I usually use my Robertson bit for those.
It’s not Torx, which is a six pin shape that might look like a star to some.
Wait until you encounter a Torx but with an additional pin in the centre.

I guess if you're going to report on financial matters, you should know the lingo.

Agree. I now ignore all videos, shorts, reels, etc. that contain anything that is likely fake. See vid. Looks fake. Next!
