Description

The 4th and 6th singles off of "Born In The USA", covered by Coltrane Motion and released for free online. After hearing Bruce's cover of a Suicide song ("Dream Baby Dream"), Michael attempted to invert the formula, drowning two of his favorite Springsteen songs in the droning keyboards and mechanical beats that Messrs. Vega & Rev pioneered. But the result doesn't sound much like SuicideSpringsteen - "I'm Going Down" has been slowed, distorted and delayed to a shoegazer crawl, while "I'm On Fire" crackles and bursts with a loose, untethered energy, trading the original's minimalism for a wall of girl-group drums, driving organ and thundering guitars more akin to "Born to Run" (or, well, Coltrane Motion..) Either way, we've put these two mp3s online for free download, at least until we get yelled at by someone's lawyers.
