I was in a band from 1986 to 1991 called Dolores. When one of our live shows was going particularly well—or particularly badly—we turned to songs written by other people. One was “Hots On For Nowhere” by Led Zeppelin. Another was “Tomorrow Never Knows.” (We recorded a version of that in a stu-stu-studio, so if someone can convert cassettes to MP3, I’ll send you the song and post the digitized file.) The song we played most often in a moment of crisis was Big Black’s “Racer X,” because, as seen above, it sounds pretty great even when the band in question doesn’t remember exactly how it goes.
