Song We Like: He Thinks He’s People by Quinn Powers/The Styrofoam Turtles

It’s hard to top the original, but Quinn Powers comes pretty close here. His electronic choices highlight that this is a particularly well-written song, and his delivery is creepy and compelling. Quinn please make it about 7 minutes longer and put it on spotify so that we can listen in the car

Song We Like: Goodbye Johnny by Quinn Powers

The maximum-integrity HLYCRP editors broke our own rules about covers for this one (it was written by Jeffrey Lee Pierce & The Gun Club). All covers should be like this: Quinn Powers took a song by someone else and made it totally about himself. It’s lighter and prettier than the original, and totally, completely, 100% different.
