Coverville 31: A Numb, Hurt and Heartbroken Request Show

December 20, 2004

The last all-request show of the year. Here’s what you’ll hear (links included where available):

Uncovered gem of the week: “Caramel” – Suzanne Vega

“Only Love Can Break Your Heart” – Juliana Hatfield (originally by Neil Young)

“Comfortably Numb” – Scissor Sisters (originally by Pink Floyd)

“Driver 8” – Hootie and the Blowfish (originally by R.E.M.)

“Hurt” – Johnny Cash (originally by Nine Inch Nails)

“Don’t Fear the Reaper” – H.I.M. (originally Blue Oyster Cult)

Thanks for listening! And thanks for your patience during my bandwidth woes. Relief is coming soon! Perhaps we need a tribute song by a group called “Bandwidth Aid”.

    Just a thought:

    If you can’t score the “Countdown” number sounds, how about just soliciting short interstitials from The Loyal Listening Community? Put something like a 3-second resxtriction on it and let people send in a number.

    Thanks for playing “Hurt”. Nice to know some one can request something obscure and it actually gets played. Phooey on broadcast radio!

    Yeah, I think that Scissor Sisters cover sucks ass. I mean, let disco lie in its grave, please.

    This is the first time I have tuned in. So far, I have really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!
