By the way, you’ll notice tonight that I’m compacting the date in the mp3 file name. This comes from a lot of complaints that the date doesn’t show up on the display of the iPod. Let me know what you think.
Thanks again to Bruce at NotLame Records. Make sure to let them know you heard it on Coverville if you order something from their site (like the excellent Cars tribute “Substitution Mass Confusion”).
Here’s what you’ll hear on tonight’s show:
“You Might Think” – Bleu (originally by The Cars)
“Come On Eileen” – Badly Drawn Boy with Jools Holland (originally Dexy’s Midnight Runners)
“Watch Your Step” – Brenda Kahn (originally Elvis Costello)
“It’s Not Unusual” – Belly (originally Tom Jones)
“Gimme Shelter” – Tom Jones with New Model Army (originally The Rolling Stones)
“Under The Boardwalk” – The Rolling Stones (originally The Drifters)

Ask and ye shall receive. All that you probably want to know about Brenda Kahn:

Womanrock.com, btw, is a site she founded to promote, errrm, women in rock.
It’s also notable that, being American and not having a lyric sheet, she turns “two bits of kids’ into “two bitter kids.” That’s alright, Elvis mangled “Verlaine and Rimbaud” into “lanes and rambles” when he covered “You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone,” by the mighty Bobby D.
Hah! How appropriate for me to mangle the title of that song while I was tut-tutting Brenda and Elvis for their mistakes.
Of course it’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You’re Gone.”

I have to say – best podcast on the net right now. I love your show. Just spent the last couple hours at work going through your archives. Keep it up!!!
Great site and great songs. Keep up the good work.
One good cover deserves another… I whipped up some CD covers for the Coverville Countdown 2004 series, if you (or anyone else) are interested. They’re set up for two episodes to a disc (CDDA format). There are three covers, front-folding only (I use slimline cases), with the lists of songs as taken from the site.
Enjoy! Grab the PDF at:
