Description:
Covers: an unforgiving experience if it goes wrong but a delight when done right. For this swap put together a mix of at least 15 cover versions of songs. Preferably covers of the second type: ones that show a great interpretation of another song and the covering artists claims the song as their own. Write a track listing including who did the original. Personal liner notes are optional :) Songs by the same artist is fine but try not to just put on one artist's cover album to fill it up! Also more than one version of the same song by different artists is fine - it's always good to hear variations of the same song Happy Swapping!

Woot! I'm such a luddite, I'm still trying to figure out how this works!

Looking at my music library, I'm going to deny my inner snark and NOT send someone a CD full of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" covers, even though I think I totally could...

xavierc 11/12/2009 #

haha @blueskydel Yes, I was going to mention things like that too. I'll leave it to everyone's discretion. But as mentioned in the description: we're looking for GREAT covers. Not just covers :D

@xavierc Well, I guess I'd better leave off that William Shatner version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" then... ;-)

xavierc 11/13/2009 #

Oooh, that's a tough one. William Shatner covers are in a class of their own!

hipmama1970 11/15/2009 #

Maybe I'll leave it in, then...

Just to clarify, we are to send only covers, not the originals too?? Thanks. It is late and my brain isn't functioning so for some reason I couldn't figure this out from reading the above.

xavierc 11/21/2009 #

Hey Tara. I did consider doing it with the originals (maybe the next one) but for this one we'll just go for the covers. But don't forget to write who did the original in the track listing.
