Hi Brian! I LOVE these A Capella shows. Don't know if you knew of the connection, but Tufts Beezlebubs ALSO did a cover of Is She Really Going Out With Him, which is phenomenal.
Thanks! Keep it up!

Posted by: Adam at January 7, 2006 9:34 AMWow! That was truly awesome. I loved 'Off The Beat' and 'The Beelzebubs', those covers were just mind-blowing. I'm tracking down these albums right now!
Posted by: Adrian Forest at January 9, 2006 5:38 AMHey Brian,
if you want to secretly adjust the volume while a track is playing, just hold Shift while pressing the volume keys. Of course, you can also uncheck "Play feedback when volume is changed" on System Preferences->Sound->Sound Effects. If you do so, holding shift will temporarily reenable the FX.
Keep up the great work, Coverville is among my very favourite podcasts.

If I remember rightly from my vinyl, the Joe Jackson live album to which you refer included an almost-acappella version of ISRGOWH, featuring "a lone tamborine," and the comment about the drummer that "He can't sing, so he's got to do something."
