Having recently discovered Coverville I'm catching up on old episodes. In regards to the abandoned Harry Chapin show, just wondering if you've heard the version of 'The Mayor of Candor Lied' by Martyn Joseph (singer/songwriter from Wales)?
It's on the MJ albums 'Run To Cover' and 'Far From Silent', and is good cover in my view.
The crazy thing about podcasts, it that they float around the either for a very long time. So when some one listens to this podcast, at some random point in the future: the math about the age of those born in 1969 will be incorrect… but every hundred years it will be correct…
I saw Jens Lekman play "You Can Call Me Al" live last year. He prefaced it by saying it was one of the first songs he learned in English. I can't even imagine trying to learn "You Can Call Me Al" under those circumstances — it's problematic even for native English speakers!
By the way, just for future reference, his first name is pronounced more like "Yens."
