More Pixies anyone?
Interesting song. It's a bit weird, and the heavy accent is a bit off-putting, but I recall a quote that said "The Pixies took all the good riffs," and whoever said that was right. "Velouria" is rather pretty and creepy at different parts.
And here's a pretty good cover of it. It's probably the first song released by Weezer with their new bassist, Mikey Welsh, after their late 1990s hiatus, on the Where Is My Mind Pixies Tribute. I'm not amazed (reference) by the cover, because the singing is kinda hesitant, but hey, it kinda has a classic Weezer feel to it. And that's not bad at all.
Let's get off topic a bit. Here are two other rather good covers by Weezer.
Weezer also played a show full of Nirvana covers under the name Goat Punishment. But I don't feel like going into that right now.
