The Pixies - I Can't Forget + I'm Your Fan

Earlier on Time Warp I played "I Can't Forget" by the Pixies. This afternoon I've received a few emails about the song, so I decided to post some info about the track here.

"I Can't Forget" is a Leonard Cohen song found on the 1988 album I'm Your Man.
Take a listen to the original version.



The Pixies' cover of Cohen's song was released on the 1991 Cohen tribute I'm Your Fan. The album also contains covers by R.E.M., Ian McCulloch, House of Love, James, and Nick Cave, and it's still in print.

Take a listen to a few of the songs from I'm Your Fan below:

Pixies "I Can't Forget" (starts ~ 5 seconds in, don't worry!)




R.E.M. "First We Take Manhattan"



Ian McCulloch "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye"
