The Greatest 'Carpenters' cover ever! It was not a surprise at all when 'Sonic Youth' came up with the highlight of the Carpenters tribute album "If I were a Carpenter" back in 1994 because it was well known that they were fans..... due to the song "Tunic (Song For Karen)" which was about Karen Carpenter, from their 1990 album "Goo".
"Superstar" is miles away from the original. It is a haunting version and has a real Sparklehorse-like atmosphere about it. I hardly played the other songs on the tribute album and I can't even remember most of the artists involved... but this song has stayed with me ever since.
