Hedwig Tribute!

May 15, 2003

What's with me and exclamation points? Anywho, I just read on Pitchdork that there is going to be a Hedwig tribute disc released entitled Wig in a Box. I would like you to know that I completely and totally love Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I saw the off-broadway play, I saw it in the theaters twice (singing along and pissing people off, mind you), and I own the DVD and original stage show soundtrack. That being known, I am going to buy this tribute disc the second it is released, if not sooner.

The track listing looks really good. I am most excited for the first seven tracks. Here they all are:

Rufus Wainwright: "Origin of Love"
Sleater-Kinney & Fred Schneider (B-52s): "Angry Inch"
The Bens (Ben Folds, Ben Kweller & Ben Lee): "Wicked Little Town (Tommy version)"
Imperial Teen: "Freaks"
Bob Mould: "Nailed"
Yoko Ono & Yo La Tengo: "Hedwig's Lament/Exquisite Corpse"
They Might Be Giants: 'The Long Grift"
The Breeders: "Wicked Little Town (Hedwig version)"
Jonathan Richman: "Origin of Love (reprise)"
Cyndi Lauper & The Minus 5: "Midnight Radio"
Nina Hagen: "Tear Me Down"
Stephen Trask & John Cameron Mitchell: "The Water Song" & "U.F.O.s" (originals)

Cyndi Lauper? With the Minus 5? Amazing, can't wait.
