Washed Out performed a dream-wavy duet version of Chris Isaak‘s “Wicked Game” recently for our friends at Sirius XMU, featuring lovely backing vocals from Ernest Greene’s talented wife Blair:

BONUS WICKED GAME COVER:
definitely interesting. http://squatpollution.blogspot.com/
on. another. level.
that’s what i’m saying
WHY? (my childhood)
agreed.
The HIQC version is Chris Isaak through a Zube Tube (not bad), while the Washed Up version is way contrived. After all this time, still nothing comes close to the original. One of the sexiest tunes ever made.
yeah how HIQC’s is way better
Uh, Widowspeak just released a cover of this song back in June, and they did it better and with more sincerity.
the verses are stronger than the chorus -__-
I agree about the boring – there was a drama in the original – too many indie bands nowadays care about more coming across cool or something – its boring
