Having thoroughly enjoyed Metric’s stripped-down version of Tom Waits Big Time cut “Strange Weather” this spring, it seemed likely Emily Haines and James Shaw would pull through here in a similar format. This clip is from a recent You Oughta Know session for VH1, where the pair performed a handful of originals before covering 1994 Morrissey tune “Why Don’t You Find Out For Yourself.” No easy feat considering a few decent Smiths covers have crossed the radar over the years while rarely do we catch a Moz solo track — let alone a relative deep cut — getting the cover treatment. Watch their faithful take on the Vauxhaull And I tune above.
