cover songs! no, not the musicspam just yet

[mimesere]

I have, at last count, just over 700 cover songs (only 54 of which are by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes). So what I did was put them all into a spreadsheet. If you want, you all can choose what you want me to put up.

Some stuff is going up regardless, like the Gipsy Kings cover of Hotel California. But the rest of it, yeah. Just ask.

http://www.exp626.net/misc/coversongs.xls

ETA: Um, I'm not taking any more requests (except from ngaio, 'cause she requested the covers in the first place). But you know, hit me up on AIM if I don't put up what you want. When I get done uploading them. *cough*

Heee. For the Fall Out Boy "Love Will Tear Us Apart," did you want the studio version or the live version? Amazingly, I have both.

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

Studio version, plz. I don't like live versions, which probably makes me weird.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Is all good. Just so you know, then, the Ben Folds Five "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" is live as well. From like...Leno or something.

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

No problem! It's not like I won't listen to them. Just given a choice, I prefer studio.
