Please Patrick can you tell if it's going to be released somehow?? I can't even imagine that particular cover :) could someone describe it or record a snippet of it?

No current plans for it to be released anywhere. It's a cover of the song 'Hanging On The Telephone,' written and recorded by The Nerves, and popularized by Blondie's cover of it.

The Nerves spawned Peter Case (which most people think is a good thing), but never released a proper album (which most people think is a bad thing).

Video is up: http://www.sambisbee.com/cingular/

This was the first time I'd seen/heard it, and I'm not at all impressed.

it's a forty-second clip of a cover song recorded for a phone commercial. were you excepting seas to part, or something?

i think it sounds lovely.

You guys really do need to do a B-Sides/rarities album of Chan's stuff. There is so much out there, and even if it's only an internet-only release I think it would do well and appease alot of us fans.

I agree once again living in the UK and not the states i've yet to hear this. But i think she'll bring grace to any song.
