I gave an exclusive cover of the mighty Dead C’s “Sky” to Daniel Blumin at WFMU to add to a covers-only CD that only seems to be available as part of their annual fund-raising marathon. It’ll set you back $75, but you’ll get to bask in the warm glow of having donated to a worthy cause or something.
Check here for details, although here’s the blurb:
Your Song, My Foot!—An Earrational Selection of Covers CD. The comp is filled with some of Der Blumin’s favorites covering songs loved since youth. All the warped and glorious tracks on “Your Song, My Foot!” were recorded exclusively for the CD premium only available during the 2011 WFMU fundraising marathon!
Check out the fancypants track listing below!
