Holy Triumvirate: Three ‘Mats songs and the women who should cover them
By Jodi | Filed under Holy Triumvirate | Comments (10)
Since posting that “Answering Machine” cover on Tuesday, I’ve been thinking of ‘Mats songs that I wish women would cover. Okay, that’s kind of a lie. I’ve been thinking about it since I typed that title up there. So here is my holy three wishlist:
- Liz Phair, If Only You Were Lonely
- Lucinda Williams, Here Comes a Regular
- The Donnas, Bastards of Young
I could probably go on and on, and I’m already thinking about a solo Triumvirate cover edition which would totally include Regina Spektor. Which women do you think should cover the ‘Mats?

The Holy Triumvirate
By Jodi | Filed under Holy Triumvirate | Comments (38)
I’ve pondered this idea for about seven minutes so you know it is right and true and well-thought out. But here are three most iconic ‘Mats songs of all time. Are you ready for this:
1. Can’t Hardly Wait
2. Bastards of Young
3. Here Comes a Regular
Shocked? Appalled? Yeah me too, because I Will Dare didn’t make the list. That would be number four. However, there are no fours in the triumvirates.
Do you disagree? Or am I totally right on the money?

It sounds kind of John Cougar Mellencampy to me. What do you think?

It seems a lot of videos have been posted in the comments recently, and if you’re a lazy reader like me, I thought I’d bring them to your attention.
Dingus from Italy brought us this John Doe cover of “Here Comes a Regular”
And Jay Taco posted these two gems from 1986.
