I just realized that in Monday’s entry on fantasy covers, I made one important omission (important to me, anyway), and it has to do with Donovan’s “Season of the Witch.” I would like to hear it performed á la “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” If you don’t know this song, go find it right now and imagine it done with Pixies-derived loud/quiet/loud dynamics, the guitars kicking in on the chorus and Kurt Cobain shrieking “Must be the season of the witch!” at the top of his lungs. Dude, sweet.

Have you ever heard the Super Session version of Witch? Or Richard Thompson’s. Both are more dragged out and languid (and spooky) than a Nirvana-esque version might be. I’d like the hear the more aggro arrangement you are dreaming of here.
