The Ledge #578: Covers

Every few months, I like to put together an all-covers edition of the show. As I've stated before, I have a folder all set up to toss in whatever tracks I want to later air. This edition came a little bit sooner than usual due to a couple of fabulous tribute records.

The first release I wanted to highlight is the brand new An International Tribute To The Muffs, which features 26 fabulous covers of Kim Shattuck tunes. Proceeds from this release goes to the Team Shattuck Foundation of Kim´s Sister, Kristen Shattuck.

The other great tribute record is Drunk Dial Fakes, Vol. 2. This ingenious set features "real" bands covering songs that were written for fictional TV and film bands. How can you not love covers from The Rutles, CHiPs, and That Thing You Do?

As for the "52 Weeks of Teenage Kicks", I've got a twofer for you this week. I recently discovered a couple of fabulous Undertones tribute records, and Teenage Hits - A Tribute To The Undertones features two wonderful remakes. And like always, I must again plead with y'all for more versions of "Teenage Kicks". If you are a musician, or have any contact with artists that could record their own take on the classic, please contact me!
