Album Review: Various Smudge - The Manilow Tribute Album

Twenty-one years after releasing their debut album Manilow, Sydney indie legends Smudge asked some of their friends to pay tribute to the record's 19 songs, and the result showcases both the strength of the album and the high regard this great band is still held in by their peers.

It's all good, but special mention to Lou Barlow (Down About It), Courtney Barnett (Divan), Evan Dando (Not Here For A Haircut), Skylar Gudasz (Pulp) and Two Am I (Impractical Joke). Not better than the real thing, but still bloody good.
