Just in case you have not heard this before. Next to Bob Forrest's cover of Dying Song, this is the only significant cover of one of John's songs (as in: done by an influential band, albeit an indie one). Carissa's Wierd covered Curtains on their 2003 collection of cover songs titled Scrapbox, which is now out of print. Thoughts?

* The band name is really written the way I wrote it, it's not an error.

That's funny, I recorded this song back in 98 or something on a four track and it sounds remarkably like this cover...

I think it's OK, but it doesn't have the same energy as the original obviously...

Frank settled down in the Valley, and he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead. He sold used office furniture out there on San Fernando Road and assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % and put a down payment on a little two bedroom place. His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease and was totally blind. They had a thoroughly modern kitchen; self-cleaning oven (the whole bit) Frank drove a little sedan. They were so happy. One night Frank was on his way home from work, stopped at the liquor store, picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth’s. Drank 'em in the car on his way to the Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can. Drove home, doused everything in the house, torched it. Parked across the street laughing, watching it burn, all Halloween orange and chimney red. Frank put on a top forty station, got on the Hollywood Freeway headed North. Never could stand that dog.
