I'm guest posting on Covering The Mouse today

If you're a fan of Disney Covers, you probably already know about Kurtis' excellent music blog "Covering the Mouse". But if you don't already know about it, you should check it out.

And today's a great day to do it. Kurtis frequently invites other members of the cover blog circle to guest post, and today was my day. And since I'd recently received a request to play Belly's cover of "Trust In Me" (thank you, David in Manchester), I decided to make that my contribution.

Check it out here.

Manics to cover Umbrella for NME

The Manic Street Preachers have recorded a cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" for an upcoming NME (New Musical Express) ride-along CD. Second only to "Crazy", I know from my inbox that people are getting tired of hearing covers of this song, however, I've heard the Manics' cover, and it's a great interpretation - very reminiscent of their "If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Will Be Next".

But I'll leave it up to you. Play it as the final nail in the "Umbrella" cover coffin? Or have you already had enough? Tell me, and your wish will be my command.

Should I play the Manics' cover of "Umbrella" on the show?
	Yes. That song sticks in my head like Nutella, ella, ella, ella...
	No. I'd rather contract rubella, ella, ella, ella...
