Odd cover indeed. And yet, I feel the love, not least because this mix appeared so soon after the last. It's a Saturnalia miracle!

Another triumph! I liked this one a lot, as usual. Mostly it reminded me of that feeling I get when I'm out in the world but instead of feeling nervy I feel strong and powerful and people get the eff out of my way.

3. It reminds me of something, some feeling, some experience, but I can't put a name to it. It's a gooder, though.

4. Awesome cover, baby. I love it and love it!

5. I don't love it, but it did make me laugh.

7. This sounds European to me somehow, which is weird, since, you know. These cats are not European.

8. I like this because it would be awful if it were set to different music. That's amazing.

13. I don't have anything useful to say about this one, but I like it a lot.

1. The original version (which I've only heard a small excerpt of) is not very dubby at all. This remix is great, but it makes me more curious about the remixer than the original artist.

7. This song does put a big smile on my face. Though its lessons should not be applied to real life. Much less cute then.

9. Funky Town is just outside of Bangkok. Bus rides daily.

This outing I went with four cover songs, which is more than usual, but you know... it's not a hard and fast rule.

Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot.

1. V. low-dub chill sessions or whatever the kids are calling it nowadays. <3

5. Sounds like the kind of music that was always playing in the club in those old Spider-Man cartoons. I may be misremembering that, but I don't mind.

6. Reminds me of an old Beatles song, but without the vocals. One of the Paul McCartney ones.

7. Just fantastic.

9. There is a new best thing ever, and this is it.

14. Sounds like the soundtrack for a sex scene in a movie that never got as much affection as it deserved.

15. That's quite sweet. I mean I know it's a cover and all, I know This Unnamed Band can't take all the credit, but yeah. It's quite sweet.

I've liked Coldplay since they "arrived." Then it became uncool to like Coldplay, and so I took my affection underground. When I mock them, I mock... myself.

It's way existential.

On a more relevant note, this mix bends the rules of space/time, in such a way that it seems you could listen to it in its entirety just once while driving your convertible through the American Southwest--long a fantasy of mine.

Yeah, an all-covers anything doesn't sound like a good idea. Would be like ending up in some parallel dimension that's only slightly off from what you know.

I'm glad some of the tracks made an impression! That's awesome.

Eeuw, forget it! I tried it and it was awful. Covers are not meant to be consumed in large doses, baby. Not by me, anyhow.
