That's a sweet version.  It's an odd coincidence that I've been listening to the original a lot lately.  I always wondered why they wrote a tune about a town in LA,  since they're from NJ.  I see now that the Wiki page has a short explanation.

Hammond Song from 4SP Creative on Vimeo.

Since it linked to an auto-fullscreen version, just a lucky guess that "4spcreative/review" had something to do with that, so I deleted it and wa-la, it went to a normal vimeo page. 4spcreative probably belongs, but it found it okay just using the numbers.

No luck with embedding but damn that's pretty.

I went to school in New Orleans, which is a short drive from Hammond, LA. There was a cult there, and one of the Roches wrote a song where she warned her sister to not go there/join. 

Here’s an extraordinary cover of that song, Hammond Song, from the first Roches album. 

If someone can figure out how to embed it, I’d be obliged.

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

A song appropriate to the occasion.

That's a faithful cover, good version.  Interesting personnel including Johnny Marr and Ed O'Brien.  I've been playing that song a lot lately - capo on the fourth fret.
