. . . And yet, I keep doing it . . .
Posted on November 29th, 2009 by ekkoNobody seems to appreciate it, and yet I keep telling y’all where some cool stuff is on the webs and nets. Nobody comments to thank me, none of the sites I reference hit me back. I’m so unappreciated. Either that or I have a sinus infection. Not sure which.
1. Neil Young covers the Theme to Fresh Prince of Bel Air (follow link)! (not)
2. Here’s a few legit covers of it . . .
3. Cover Me kicks off the Christmas covers with Reliant K. Pretty cool.
4. NYC Taper has a Meat Puppets bootleg, whereon they cover Freddie Fender!
5. This is kind of sad. But also kind of great. Exile on Main Street for just three bucks.
6. This Magic Moment (Jay and the Americans)-The Mountain Goats.
7. This dude’s blog is pretty funny.
8. For shits and giggles, here’s Mother Hips’ cover of Neil Young’s Cinnamon Girl. Since we blasphemed old Neil up above, we can treat him alright down low . . .
9. Tim at The Blue Walrus is a helluva guy, and a pretty damn good blogger, too. Go visit him. Drop a comment and tell ‘im I sentcha.
10. Rock Czar has tons of time-wasting lists, like the top 30 Nirvana songs. If need to do more procrasturbating.

Sorry to be responding only because you asked…I’m sure I’m guilty of NOT making an effort sometimes to comment althyough I do it quite a lot other places. Your postings (which I subscribe to) have led me to some really great sites and i have downloaded MANY of the pictures you have posted for my own collection and music, too. Please accept this one’s apologoies for not having expressed my appreciation before. I do appreciate the time and effort you exert. I’d better as I am ramping up to do it myself.

Saw the Jimmy Fallon cover, and couldn’t believe how spot on he was. It’s a miracle Fallon wasn’t giggling through the song.
… Oh yeah, and thanks for the posts!
People may not comment, but they still read it. I can’t even begin to tell you how much music you’ve helped me discover…

This Magic Moment, while certainly indentifiable with Jay & The Americans (whom I saw once in concert when Becker & Fagan were in the band and have the autograph to prove it)was also done originally by The Drifters on Atlantic Records…also a great version and certainly while not a big hit, is what inspired Jay & The Boys.

I agree with everything said here. No one seems to do this anymore and it’s a shame. Keep up the good work as always.
