Description:

I love, love, love a good (and/or) fun cover song! Hearing songs played by a different person or band can not only show off how well a song was written, but it can also make you like a song you would never have even considered including in your music library.

In this swap you will make a mix of your favorite cover songs, which you will send to 2 people. Some examples might include: Gary Jule's popular cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World", Lemonhead's version of Simon & Garfunkle's "Mrs. Robinson" or Gnarls Barkley's fun cover of Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone."

Your CD should include at least 15 songs. Please limit the number of live tracks you use. Please include a track list.

And, most importantly, have fun!

Hello, is it international?

My husband's gotten me hooked on cover songs. He's excited about this one too! We've become fans of the podcast coverville (coverville.com)

Are we limited to the amount of times we can include one band?

I don't want to say no, because that is a personal preference. I would say, if you're going to use more than 1 song by an artist, try to break them up in the set list.

Personally, i'm trying to tell myself i can't even cover more than one artist, but i have three Smith's covers that are SO good. I suppose there will be other covers mixes for them to go on, but choosing is so difficult!

Just want to say that my CDs are ready, but I can't get to the Post Office until Saturday.

Oh, poop! I just made my CDs and I DID include more than one song by a few artists. They're oddly fabulous (at least I think so), so I hope it's okay...

They're in the envelopes now, so there's no turning back. I'll trust my instincts.

Woo-hoo!

CDs were mailed earlier this week but I forgot to put a note inside. Hope they make it okay.

I sent mine about a week ago... not sure how long it's supposed to take. Hopefully they get there soon.
