Bad Penny download: Research Society’s “ Mr.It's Pay Day for Shane on Halloween but sadly the artists aren't getting their proper cut.I don’t think we’ll be getting any calls from these bands about covering our songs, but it was nice to dream … They would’ve stripped it down but kept the groove. G Mann: This song definitely took longer to gestate than most of our songs, but I bet Joy Division would have gotten it immediately. Namky: Remember, it used to be a much breezier, semi-surf-rock-type song, but then we saw “Control,” the Anton Corbijn film about Joy Division, and we found the song’s soul. G Mann: I was thinking Bloc Party, but why not go to the source. I think their version would be quite different, but quite interesting.

Namky: “Down” seems more “Planet Telex” to me, so how about Bends-era Radiohead?

G Mann: My main riff always reminds me of “Airbag” by Radiohead, so I’d be interested in hearing Radiohead do it. G Mann: And Banks’ haunting voice would be perfect.

Namky: They know how to get really good guitar dramatics with very natural tones. They do mid-tempo dark, dramatic, builders better than anyone. G Mann: That’s exactly who I was thinking. I can imagine the National making it even more dramatic. I would look forward to the classy guitar interplay, and hopefully some dramatic organs. They have the quietly urgent arena-rock sound that is very expressive in a very subtle way. G Mann: I’d be curious to hear the beats – I’d hope for those big, cool hip-hop beats! I wonder if they would really take the story and character and run with it. G Mann: How about Flaming Lips … circa Yoshimi. So, we chose bands we think would “get” the song, and would have a natural affinity for finding an interesting and unique take on the song. We figured since we’re dreaming here, we might as well embrace the dream and go for big bands. We thought about whether we’d prefer big, popular bands or more obscure/local bands to cover our songs.

Research Society took an innovative approach to participating in the Bad Penny’s ongoing “Cover Me” series: Rather than let one bandmember do all the talking, co-songwriters Namky (vocals, rhythm guitar, programming) and G Mann (lead guitar, bass, backing vocals, programming) had a lil’ dialogue.
