The Rip-Off: Featuring The Cure and Wilco

This particlar edition of "The Rip-Off" features two of my favorite bands of all time - The Cure and Wilco.

And while I will defend both Jeff Tweedy and Robert Smith to my dying breath, there is more than just a minor simularity between these two tracks.

First up, The Cure with "In Between Days"

And now, Wilco with Pot Kettle Black

    this is a mash-up of the ying-yang twins and the cure's "close to me"...at first i thought it was just clever until i heard the original ying-yang twins song - total rip off....
