Time to up the bandwidth!

Brian:
After your countdown is done, I have one request. One cover I love is the White Lion cover of “Radar Love” done back in the late 80’s, early 90’s, can’t remember. This was one of those songs that truly did justice to the original and in my opinion, had one of the videos of all time (quite subjective of course) I have yet to hear this version on the radio and think it would be a great addition to your’re already addictive show.
To eveyone else: click the donation button and throw few bucks to coverville.com. This bandwidth issue is killing me!!!!!
Hi Brian,
Great show, as always! I also have a request, post-countdown: Iggy Pop has a pretty decent cover of The Kingsmen’s Louie Louie. There are quite a few covers of that song, in fact, and you could probably dedicate half a show to it, but Iggy Pop’s is definitely a good one. E-mail me if you can’t find it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
. . .for the Neil Diamond cover of Susanne and the Indigo Girls of Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters. You Rock!!
By the way, where did you find the Indigo Girls track? I have been looking for that cut for years and have never been able to find it.
Best for the new year!
