Simply Saucer gets Segall-ized

Whether it was part of a clever marketing plan or mere cosmic coincidence, Ty Segall's decision to record and release a cover of Simply Saucer's Bullet Proof Nothing from which Liz Worth swiped the song's memorable refrain for the title for her recently published oral history of Toronto punk Treat Me Like Dirt (Bongo Beat) seems remarkably fortuitous for everyone involved.

Segall's appropriately raunchy rendition of Edgar Breau's Kenilworth Klassic appears on his fab new Caesar seven-inch single just issued by the Memphis-based Goner Records on limited-run clear and black vinyl which you can order directly from Goner right here. If you'd rather have the MP3s, they're available here. I was about to throw in a comment about how such seemingly coincidental occurrences rarely happen entirely by chance in the record business until I realized that I was wearing a Goner Records t-shirt as I was writing this post. Oh well.    
Although I still prefer the Saucer's original version of Bullet Proof Nothing off their astounding Cyborgs Revisited album, Segall's Dolled-up homage to the hard-luck Hamiltonian heavyweights is a heartwarming gesture nonetheless.
