Susanna Hoffs, Matthew Sweet are getting back "Under the Covers" on July 21

Back in 2006, Bangles singer Susanna Hoffs and jangle-pop scruff Matthew Sweet teamed up for Under the Covers Vol. I, a layered, harmony-happy treatment of their fave old songs: Different Drum, Warmth of the Sun, Monday Monday... Her coo plus his power-pop instincts led to great, shimmery results. And now lookee here: On July 21, they'll release Vol. II, which will include the Grateful Dead (Sugar Magnolia), Carly Simon (You're So Vain), Mott the Hoople (All the Young Dudes). Up top is Yes' I've Seen All Good People, a proggy song I never liked...until I heard Hoffs' baby-doll treatment.
