OK, take the song "The Boy With the Arab Strap", remove the "swing" beat,
add straight-ahead 4/4 drums (w/ plenty of ride cymbal), droning organ,
the occasional bubbly Moog, a couple of well-placed harmonies, and me thinks 
you've got a pretty great idea for a perfect Stereolab cover.

Granted, I guess add those elements to about any song, and you're in 
Stereolab territory, but the whole idea hit me while listenin' to 
TBWTAS today.   *big shrugs*

Back to the house of pain,
