RSSFineTune Friday: Covers Edition
So, I’ve been promising DigitalDarryl a Covers CD for quite some time, but I figured that it would be more flexible if I just created a station on FineTune. It’s not as metal as I’d like it to be, but I weighted the choices more toward originality than metalosity.
I came up with almost 90 songs, including some real gems from William Shatner and Hayseed Dixie, and a super creepy version of “Black Sabbath” by Type O Negative. If you want to beat me at my own game, start digging over at The Covers Project and then throw your finds up on FineTune so we can bask in your glory. Otherwise, feel free to drop any worthy additions in the comments.
FineTune: My Best of the Covers Station:
Bonus Track!
In my searching, I came across this video of Alanis Morisette doing a cover of the Black Eyed Peas “My Humps”. I couldn’t find it on Finetune, but it was odd enough that I couldn’t resist including it.
Update: They’ve taken up the crusade and added a cover station over at Cynically Optimistic & Optimistically Bitter. Check out QuietlyGoingMad’s “Not By The Original Artist” playlist.

Bitchen!
The Garage Inc. Metallica was a surprise. Short Haired Robots or not, they can rock when they want to.
I’ve been mostly waiting for Cash covering Soundgarden!
Now I have to figure out how to stream these to files…
Retarded Idiotic Assfaced Assclowns be damned.
Thanks man!

Jon–for SHAME…how could you NOT include Adam Sandler’s “shampoo song” on your novelty list???

I list over 100 tracks of novelty mayhem and the people complain about not including Adam Sandler?
I added it in your honor (and with great shame).
I really can’t be expected to know it all…

Did Britney really record a song about being beaten and liking it?!

Don’t forget about the Coverville Podcast, http://www.coverville.com/, they have over 300 shows. I don’t think they have to much metal though.

Oh wow. I had no idea about coverville. I’m going to have to check it out.

I finally checked out your cover mix – it seems we have some of the same taste in songs. Nice list!

Glad you liked it! Are you thinking about getting in on the Fine tune action this month?
