In 2005, Petra Haden released an all acapella home recorded version of The Who Sell Out (My favorite Who album by miles and miles). Haden is the daughter of Jazz bassist Charlie Haden, and singer violinist for The Decemberists, and member of The Rentals. Its a truly impressive feat, as in addition to the instruments and vocals, she renders all of the album's fake commercials, jingles, and tape loop effects with just her voice and a multitrack cassette recorder.

She looks exactly like Jeanine Garofalo in the one on the right.
I've been listen to this record (original) non-stop for the last 2 weeks. Can't wait to hear this version. kinda.
its interesting as an exercise, but not something I'll return to much. The original, on the other hand, blows minds, utterly timeless.
Solucien, why don't you send me a post? Text, pic, track-done.
