Hirishikesh Hirway, the songwriter behind L.A.’s the One AM Radio, had a simple proposition: If anybody donated $500 or more to the Internet radio station and DJ collective Dublab, he’d cover a song of the benefactor’s choice. He issued the challenge on Facebook, and a fan named Gerard Cronin stepped up. (Cronin’s employer matched the donation to the nonprofit orgnaization, so Dublab actually realized $1,000.) Cronin’s song of choice was the Smith’s 1987, Johnny Marr-penned gem “A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours,” and the One AM Radio gives it a nifty electro treatment, and makes it free for the taking.
