Pump It Up (Elvis Costello Cover By Mudhoney)

Via You Ain’t No Picasso. This is quite a nice video to watch and listen to, though I have to agree with “You Ain’t No Picasso” where I found this, that it is a little disappointing.

I was kind of hoping that they’d rock out more. The keyboards keep it a little too grounded to the original, while I can just feel that they want to cut loose. Still, I’m glad I ran into this cover.

My gut feeling is that the confined quarters of the trailer they shot the video in was squeezing their music and freedom into a much more concise and confined version of what it should have could have been.
