I thought that a funny April Fool's prank would be to rave about this cover song by The Crystal Casino Band and have everyone click on the link and listen to it.
But, there's a fine line between a joke and cruelty.
So, I'll be honest. This is just ass.
I don't get a tremendous amount of joy from hating on musicians (with the exception of Gavin Magnus), and I'm sure that The Crystal Casino Band are great guys and a lot of fun at parties and probably have a ton of great cover songs in their arsenal.
But, this ain't one, Chief.
Vampire Weekend's singer is decent, but compared to this mess, he sounds like a straight up Seraph.
And, the cool flute sounds produced by the mellotron in the original "A-Punk" have been replaced by a guitar that's accidently been tuned to "stinky garbage."
