Download it from Largehearted Boy, who have linked a download to this cover of The Ramones classic, played at the Serious Business Revue last week at Littlefield. Our theme was New York City, so we had to include this one.

Benji Cossa’s cover of “Nights on Broadway” is up on Soundcloud. 

Benji played this one at our third Serious Business Rock & Roll Revue at Littlefield a week ago — the theme being New York. Benji’s take on this Bee Gee’s classic is remarkable.

Dig this hot hot Soundcloud set culling a bunch of rehearsal recordings from preparations for this Saturday’s Serious Business Rock and Roll Revue III: NYC at Littlefield in Brooklyn. We’re talking big-time set-list spoilers here. HAHA! Dig it! This Saturday night we are celebrating the music of NYC. What better excuse to work up Television, Ramones and Velvet Underground covers? This is just a small taste of the party. Note on fidelity: These recordings sound SWEET. Don’t fear that I record these things with my iPhone and toss the shit-mess on the internet. These are full-on hi-fi versions. of the studio magic I normally conjure for BTR.

The January air is cold.
