Petty darn sure you never aked this here before.

Tom Verlaine wrote, recorded, and released "Always" 
in 1981.

In April 2000, he did a cover of Irving Berlin's 
"Always" on a compilation album, titled "Kim's 
Bedroom"---an apparently somewhat eccentric art 
exhibition held at a private gallery in Eindhoven, 
Holland, between March 17 and April 24, 2000. 

It was curated by Sonic Youth bassist and singer, 
Kim Gordon, and she does back-up vocals (ala 
Deerfrance on Red Leaves) on Tom's Berlin cover. 

The catalogue to the exhibition was accompanied by 
a cd, but it's quite rare (I haven't been able to 
track down a copy yet).

Rex--as  Dennis would say, Do I win anything?

For reals?  U2 should record the "real" "Elevation"... sling Tom some
royalties.

Trivia/brainteaser (OT but related):  Can anyone think of an instance where
an artist wrote, recorded and released a song with the SAME NAME as another
artist, and later recorded and released a cover version of the original song
with that title?

I can think of one example but I bet there are others.
