Wednesday cover: "Pac-Man Fever" by Today's Sounds

The band is mainly Derrick Bostrom of Meat Puppets fame with Bruce Sandig. The version of "Pac-Man Fever" on the four-song EP was actually inspired not by the original, but by a version done in a medley by Jimmy Osmond. You can read Bostrom's account at his blog.


Sadly, the download link no longer works. That's the reason I haven't posted any covers lately. I've been desperately searching for this song online or the file on one of my hard drives, but to no avail. So I've finally just gone ahead and made it available from my site. Since Bostrom was giving away the whole EP plus bonus songs, I'm hoping he doesn't mind.
