I've drunk from small brown bottles since I was so long
The Fall: "Hip Priest"
Dana over at Mystical Beast was kind enough to repost the Dustdevils’ cover of “Hip Priest”, per my request. It starts off slowly, but once it really kicks in it almost reaches the heights of the original. If you want to compare the two, you can download the Fall’s original here. The Fall is my favorite band, and even though this is a pretty iconic song for Mark E. Smith, it’s not nearly their best tune. I’d have a hard time saying what is, but there’s at least a dozen or so I prefer over “Hip Priest”. Anyhow, the Dustdevils version is the best Fall cover I’ve ever heard, and thanks again to Dana for putting it back up.
