Song Title Time Price Visit our audio page for more information About the Artist As singer/songwriter/guitarist for The Posies, Jon auer is recognized as a renowned and distinctive pop craftsman. 6 1/2, a collection of masterfully personalized cover songs, is his first solo effort in the U.S. The mini L.P. contains seven cover songs ranging from Madonna to the Psychedelic Furs to Ween and the Chameleons UK. Each one experienced a radical reworking at the able hands of Auer. Reader Reviews Continuing the astounding flurry of Posies activity of the past year-and-a-half or so is this Jon Auer solo ep of covers. While his interpretations may not be revelatory ("Love My Way" sounds like he went into a karaoke booth), his song choices are wonderful (Psychedelic Furs, Grant Hart, Madonna). And his version of Ween's great "Baby Bitch" is damn close to a revelation. A brilliant, spiteful song performed in a brilliant spiteful manner (as only Jon can) and not sandwiched between songs about ponies and diseases! Kind of a shame that his fine version of Guided By Voices' "Gold Star For Robot Boy" (available on The Perfect Size ep) didn't make it here, but cest la vie.  Comment | Permalink |  (Report this) Back To Top
