Awesome episode! Can’t wait for Cover Show III!
Wow – Scott’s “Umbrella” is kickass. Thanks for bringing it our way Brian!
Nice to plug Copy, Right? since she does such a great job.
By the way, on the Ramones show, which was great, you missed Per Gessle’s (former Roxette) great version of “Sheena is a Punk Rocker,” which he does as a lovely piano ballad. I highly commend it.
Nice rap show. Would highly recommend a cover of the classic ‘Gin N Juice by Snoop and Dre. Dave Matthews and Blues Traveller to a great version. Somehow I landed a copy, but don’t know where from. Any ideas?
Thanksand keep up the nice work…
Excellent podcast. I really enjoyed this one. Umbrella was very nice, and My Name Is was neat as well.
I don’t know how you manage to find so many *good* covers. 🙂
The cover of White Lines by Barefoot is also available on the soundtrack of the movie “It’s All Gone Pete Tong” about a ficticious DJ.
There is a GREAT cover of Baby Got Back From a folk artist named Johnathan Coulton, worth a listen.
So was the Gold Digger cover the first you’ve featured to use a kazoo?
