The Do Dos and Woah-Oh's

On Friday night Katie suggested that we needed to take a trip to a music store - for what purpose was kept a secret to me. We stopped past one before seeing Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night, and the secret was revealed - Kisschasy have just released Too B Or Not Too B, a b-sides collection, that of course, includes their cover of Hey Jealousy.

It was originally on the Do Do's and Whoah Ohs single, that I briefly looked around for in October 2005 when I heard about it. Unsuccessfully, partly because I didn't look hard enough, and partly because it had been released in July 2005, and singles have a short shelf life. And we'd only been talking about it a few months ago, and went on somewhat of an online search to try and get it. So the band putting out this CD is awesome!

We picked up the CD, and it's a really great rendition of the song. I was quite impressed that they'd kept the solo, which is fairly true to the original. When we looked for the single online recently, we came across a ridiculous number of covers on iTunes (who knew), ranging from techno, to country veersions, as well as other less weird ones. The Kisschasy version is by far the best, and more true to the original than the Hit The Lights version, which I admitadly do like a lot. But regardless, I very much enjoy hearing Kisschasy's eersion being a lot truer to the original. And it'
s great hearing it, finally after three years! [smile]

The other cool part about the timing of this release is that we're seeing them in two weeks.
