That’s the sort of dedication and effort you don’t often see in most threads. Thanks for sharing.
Also, I’m jealous of how you, “can hear it in my head any time I want”. Not something most of us can do to without actually wanting/needing to hear the song.
RE: Golden Smog
The talent in that band should have caused a disturbance in the Time/Space fabric.
Huh, I guess I can do that… I just picked an album I haven’t heard in years, mentally took out the LP and dropped the needle on Side One, and let it play in my head. Cool… wish that was a marketable skill.
(I guess I could survive the bad guys locking me away for days with no sensory inputs until I told them the secret formula… “Hi, guys, can you give me another half hour? I got through Neil Finn’s work with Split Enz and Crowded House, and I’m this close to being done with his solo albums…”)
Not me. I start to listen to a song in my head, and I get the 78-RPM, highlights version.

Johnny Cash did the same thing with his cover of “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails.
The jam band O.A.R. does a pretty good cover of Billy Joel’s Downeaster Alexa in concert.
I just found out that Sirius XM has a “Covers” channel.
