Tonight Re: Overheard in a Record Store Last Night

Petra Haden (of Rentals and that dog. fame), who performs tonight at the Triple Door with Greg Dulli as part of the Vera Project’s A Drink For the Kids benefit, recorded an a capella version of that Who album, called, appropriately, Petra Haden Sings the Who Sell Out. This is what her album’s cover looks like (her Daltrey’s better than her Townshend):
Said album, by the way, kicks total ass. Wish I could go tonight, but I'd rather see 7 Petra Hadens singing a capella, which probably isn't going to happen.
Pretty incredible she tackled that material, but really, it was John and Keith's contributions to that particular record that push it from good to fucking great, and not either of the Who's vocalists (which are fine here, IMO).
Doug, have you heard her CD? It's a capella, but she does (or at least nods to) all the instruments: guitar, drums, bass . . . it's pretty badass.
Anybody remember that Dog???????? Anybody????
