      • The Soon-to-be-named Violent Femmes Tribute AlbumFinally, a tribute to the Violet Femmes. Lots of stuff to cover here, folks – pick something you can make your own! More details to come, but here’s the nitty-gritty: Deadline for entries – April 30, 2012 Email me to let me know what song you want to cover, openstage AT coverville DOT com Songs for this project can’t have been previously released, but if you want to release it on your own after the album has been produced, you certainly can. Here’s what’s already been earmarked:
      • Breakfast In Coverville: A Coverville Tribute to Supertramp’s “Breakfast in America”On March 29, 1979, Supertramp released what would become their most successful album, with over 4 million copies sold in the US alone – and a total of 11 million sold worldwide. The album topped the Billboard album charts for six weeks in the US, and also hit number one in Norway, Canada, and the homeland for many of this project’s submissions, Australia. As I did last time, I present ALL the submissions for this project, along with information about the performers. And not only are the songs going to be included in a podcast, I’ve gathered them all here as individual downloads and as a complete zip archive (97MB) along with brilliant cover art again designed by Shelby Miller. You won’t have a tangible CD to hold in your hands, but this is the digital age, baby! Music these days is distributed as much on plastic discs as it is in ones and zeroes. So download the songs below, copy them to your portable music player, listen to them on your computer, or if you feel inclined, put them in your favorite order, burn them to a CD and put it in a jewel case emblazoned with the magnificent…
      • Take Them (They’re Yours): A Coverville Tribute to SqueezeOn a couple of occassions in the last few years, I’ve organized a project called Coverville Idol, where I ask the independent musicians and basement performers in my audience to record a track as part of a themed competition. For this go-round, I’ve finally figured out what I didn’t like about the project, and it was the Coverville episode I’d record with all the submitted songs, where I (and the unlucky guests I had picked) had to offer criticism and praise to each song. That’s not what Coverville is, nor what I want it to become. And ever since I came up with the idea for a Spinal Tap Tribute Album, I’ve wanted to release an album tie-in for the podcast. Well, this Coverville Idol is going to give me the opportunity to satisfy both wishes. Episode 532 of Coverville will feature a song-by-song playthrough of the very first Coverville album, “Take Them (They’re Yours): A Coverville Tribute to Squeeze”, a 17-track salute to Chris Difford, Glenn Tilbrook and the many performers that have been a part of Squeeze over the years. And not only are the songs going to be included in a podcast, I’ve gathered them all here…
      • Naive Medley: This Must Be The Coverville Tribute To The Talking Heads
      • Unhenged: A Coverville Tribute to Spinal TapOn March 2, 1984, Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Christopher Guest released what would become one of the most popular mockumentaries of all time, starring a believable – albeit fictional – heavy metal band called Spinal Tap. But what makes a band real vs. fictional? The (core) members of Spinal Tap, David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls, played all their own instruments, wrote their own songs, released two albums, and even toured. Maybe to be considered a real band, you need a tribute album. And for the last two-and-a-half years, I’ve been working on assembling a tribute to the band. Performers came and went, a couple had to cancel due to other obligations, but in the end I feel like I managed to put together a stellar line-up of performers and songs – and with just a couple weeks to spare before the end of the 25th Anniversary year of the landmark film. Originally, I was hoping for 11 tracks, but I’m happy to have exceeded that, with almost all of the songs from the soundtrack covered, as well as a couple from their follow-up album, Break Like The Wind. Below, you’ll find the submissions for…
