How very cool, Fiona.
I've been listening to a lot of early seventies British folk rock lately. There have been a number of intriguing compilations released in the last couple years in the wake of the freak folk movements and Vashti Bunyan's rediscovery.
So I've got comps titled Strange Folk, and Folk is Not a Four Letter Word and Gather in the Mushrooms. They usually touch on Pentangle and then gather in a lot of bands that have been forgotten like Forest and Barry Stansfield.
I also recently picked up the first Lindisfarne album because I discovered they had a song titled "Lady Eleanor" inspired by Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher.
I'll post a few tracks up at Buffistarawk.
I'm making a playlist of covers, because I'm love hearing old songs covered new ways. One of my favorites is Rob Zombie's cover of Brick House, but I only have an M4A file, which stupid Windows Media Player won't play. Anyone have an MP3 they could upload to Buffistarawk for me?
Or other suggestions for cool covers?
Amy, I have the Brick House, which I shall send you, along with another cover or two.
hehehehe
Um- is there any way you could share your mix- I love covers so much I can't even say?
Sure, when I'm done! I'm still compiling. ::nods::
I'm glad you like covers, too! They fascinate me.
I've got a ton of covers I like.
Maybe everybody should post a couple of their favorite covers up on Buffistarawk.
Are we using Rawk1 or Rawk2?
I would love to, although I will have to wait until monday because my music is at work.
