Returning to covers for their 36th release, Hussalonia takes on the band from Bard, with an excellent collection of Steely Dan covers that you can download here. A big Steely Dan fan myself, I’ve really been enjoying these new takes on their songs, especially “Any Major Dude” and “Deacon Blues”.

Hussalonia’s first cover album, a tribute to Billy Joel’s “Glass Houses”, can be heard and downloaded here!

Huge thanks to Coverville Citizens Maynard and Geoff for this.

Have a look at this photo:

Second from the left is Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, and on the right is Geoff Overmeyer, wearing none other than a Coverville 500 t-shirt! From Geoff’s email:

I offered to swap tops with her on the spot but funny enough, the PM declined….

Oh well, can’t blame a guy for trying. Now, if the Prime Minister wants a Coverville shirt of her very own, she’s going to have to become a Citizen like everybody else.

Speaking of Coverville Citizen t-shirts, the design for this year’s shirt has been finished, and is on its way to the printer today! Wanna see it? I’ll try to post something later today…

The cover song’s music video, which features footage of protests from the 2009 Iranian presidential election, has racked up nearly 160,000 views on YouTube. Last month it was nominated in the music video category at London’s Ruses Soho Shorts film festival.

I know, I know – summer’s barely started. But for those of you wondering where I went for vacation last week, you might enjoy the most recent episode of good friend and fellow podcaster Dan Klass’ podcast, “The Bitterest Pill”. In it, Tina and I get to join Dan in his illustrious Studio G, and talk about everything from highway bathroom usage to great cover songs.
