Like you, we get tons of people asking for our favorite song ever recorded on a phone machine.\u00a0 And without hesitation, we know that it’s Damien Jurado’s “Ohio” as covered by CocoRosie for Believer Magazine.<\/p>\n

In this recording, CocoRosie records Jurado’s great song via a phone machine and adds a concatenating swing to the song, while the lyrics\/vocals recall remorseful long distance phone calls re-imagined with a tin cans and string motif.<\/p>\n

The lyrics “I’ve not seen my mother in ages, it’s been a long time, a real long time” can indeed stick in the throat of a “home”-sick listener.<\/p>\n

Every July\/August Believer Magazine (another fine Dave Eggers publication) puts out its Music Issue, including CD.\u00a0 There’ve been a couple of clinkers along the way, but the tracks are generally special-commissioned performances or offerings, and often featuring unique cover tracks.\u00a0 Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

As for CocoRosie, they too are highly recommended for their other ethereal offerings.\u00a0 Check out “Ohio” below.<\/p>\n
