  • A good song is said to be indestructable, but this one sounds like a student one-track-recording with the singer having a towel or rug over his head.

  • if you look at the list of songs offered at the link provided, it is a morass of covers by bands such as the cure, the lemonheads, jeff buckley, fugazi, elliott smith, steely dan (!), Radiohead, the kinks, etc. tonight i shall go home and record myself signing on top of 'found found found.' this new duet of morrissey and I will be available for download shortly.

    all that being said, the morrissey cover of tomorrow is just a guitar and voice. coffeehouse morrissey.

  • Is this the same Braid that butchered There is a Light that Never Goes Out?

    Ouch, sounds like it...

  • I think "Tomorrow" is a relatively hard song to cover. This version sounds half-way decent. It's all in good fun anyway, people! Simmer down...

  • Actually I quite like it, though it sounds like a personal recording (i.e a bad recording), like something that would only leak out on the internet. The fact is Bob Nanna is a brilliant lyricist - on par with Morrissey (Go track down a Braid album and read the lyics, I dare you). Braid was a great underground band that most of you will never understand, because they were part of a scene, a time and a place remote from the majority of the visitors to this website - and Hey, that's okay.

  • How sad life must before for some of you who only sit in your rooms, wave flowers around and mourn the insignificance Morrissey has brought upon himself.

    Your hero has not released an album in seven years. Robert Nanna and the members of Braid and Hey Mercedes are some of the hardest working and talented men in the music industry today.

    Don't get me wrong, I grew up listening to The Smiths and Morrissey, but I also came to expand my musical tastes past that of a loftier-than-thou pseudo-affected teenager. Explore some other things aside from the leader of your rabid fandom.

    This just reeks of cliques and snarky subcultures. I'm ashamed to be classified in the same group as some of you so-called "Morrissey fans." Being a fan of someone doesn't mean being inane, at least that is what most people over the age of 25 discover. Furthermore, how many of you critics even downloaded the song before passing judgement?

    [And people say the indie "subculture" is pretentious...]

  • This cover is actually not as bad as I expected it to be. True - the singer sounds like he's not even thinking about what he's singing and the quality is crap, but the cover itself is bearable. Definitely better than the disasters Braid made from "There Is a Light" and "This Charming Man"

  • I can't stand you ignorant people claiming that every Smiths-/Moz-Cover is crap per se. I'd say that 99% of them is crap and this Bob Nanna version is somewhere in between but you should at least listen to most of them before you make a statement like this. A good place to start would be: http://smithsmoz.dyndns.org/

  • Anyone who thinks there is a single redeeming feature to this cover needs to have their cochlear implants checked. It sounds like a stoned J Mascis fan, locked up in his U Mass dorm room fucking around on the guitar and singing into the mirror.

    Morrissey fans "pretentious?" Snotty even? That's just crazy talk! Where do people get these crazy ideas?

    I enjoyed this cover--at least as much as I could considering "Tomorrow" is one of Morrissey's most thoroughly mediocre songs.In fact, if I were a marginally intelligent conspiracy theorist, I'd say "Tomorrow" and "Fatty" were culled from Morrissey's greatest solo moment "Your Arsenal" as a means to destroy his career. Every other song on that record is stellar!

    Anyway--I think it's KICK ASS that bands today still find the Smiths and Morrissey relevant enough to cover in this age of hip hop dreck.

  • Nearly all the covers I have heard of Smiths/Moz material have been awful. Bob Nana's version of Tomorrow is singularly hideous. The kindest thing I can say is that he sounds like he is singing through several layers of carpet.

    As decent covers I would recommend Supergrass's take on 'Some Girls are Bigger than Others' and Monnery's perky version of 'Girlfriend in a Coma'.

  • The Ocean Blue, one of my favorite bands ever, did a fine live cover of "There is a Light ..." that appeared on their 1994 "Peace and Light" EP. It's definitely worth seeking out. I also recall 10,000 Maniacs covering "Everyday is Like Sunday" back in '93. It was on a single/EP as I recall.
