TAKE COVER!

Take Cover! Fischerspooner Vs. Wire

When is a cover song better than the original? Only you can decide. This week: Fischerspooner takes on Wire’s “The 15th.” MAGNET’s Edward Fairchild pulls the pin. Take cover!

Fischerspooner is usually known for its earnestly ironic electroclash, but here the band panders to the bearded, bespectacled indie set with a cover of Wire’s “The 15th.” A group notorious for its grand, choreographed glam productions eschews the eye makeup for sweaters, Chuck Taylors and vintage amps, reminding you that it’s all an act, even if not having an act is your act.
