I know this song has been uploaded right at the very end (if not shortly beyond) of the MeFi Music Challenge, but I went through a number of songs in the long debate to find a MeFite's song to cover, eventually landing on the one that most frequently gets stuck in my head. That song is
Colonel Roger (is a Soldier from the Future) by
chiefbluefeather.

I loved
baby_balrog and his band's
rollicking original of this tune. For this cover, I figured I'd take the train down another track: slowed
way down (down on the ground),
stripped way down (just vocal and strumstick), and with a little different shade of blue for the engineer's hat.

If a MeFite sticks earworm on me I am gonna put it on here for what of prying it out of my head.
Seriously though,
awesome song.

The Book of Love
For this month's
MeFi Music Challenge, just to make things confusing, I'm offering a cover of a cover. Specifically, it's a cover of Sleepy Pete and Melissa May's
The Book of Love (which, of course, is also a cover--not to mention a hard act to follow).

The lazy cracker, banjo-infused version of the Jeffersons theme song.

Recorded live to 24-track digital at our most recent show. My band
The Dukes of Simpleton is an XTC tribute project, so no we didn't write it, but I'm pretty sure we're the only people playing any XTC songs live in a 1000 mile radius.

In which I squeak, squawk, and warble through a really, really loud cover of a Dan Bern song.

I've had this Regina Spektor song stuck in my goddam head for weeks now + I haven't recorded any songs for months = this sloppy, lots-of-stuff-going-on cover recorded in a rut-exorcising session this afternoon and evening.

Yes, this is an Econoline Crush cover. Yes, it is

Quick 'n' dirty cover of Mississippi John Hurt's old song played on my resonator guitar. Levels are a bit off, volume jumps up and down a little... but here it is anyway.

My friend Mel and I have started a musical project together, and since Radiohead is our biggest mutual influence, we decided to start by covering one of their songs.

When I first started playing the guitar I was obsessed with Jimi Hendrix (okay I still am). I spent hours learning as many solos as I could and listened to the blues album over and over again. At the end of the day though, this has always been my favourite Hendrix song. It's beautifully understated, short and sweet!

Adaptation (more or less) of an Ogden Nash poem of the same name. Essentially an apology from an aging man who spends his time boring people with the same stories.
