Disclaimers/Reminders:
1. MP3s on this blog are available for a short time and are here for sampling purposes only. My only goal is to share my love/hate relationship with cover songs and to turn readers on to artists of whom they might not have otherwise been aware. If you are the creator or copyright owner of a song or anything else that might be posted here, please CONTACT ME by sending an e-mail (see above) if you wish to have it removed.
2. PLEASE don't direct link to any individual tracks. If you like an artist you hear here (either the original artist or the one performing the cover), you should definitely do your best to take the knowledge you gain here and go out and BUY THEIR ALBUMS.
3. I very rarely, if ever, repost songs. If you missed something, I apologize, but I get lots of e-mails from people asking me to repost things. If I actually reposted all the tracks people wanted me to, I'd never get a chance to post anything new. That said, if there is A TRACK OR TWO you feel you desperately need, feel free to drop me a line at liza.copyright @ gmail.com (sans spaces) and I'll do my best to get it to you. But please keep in mind that it might not be instantaneous, as I get approximately 600 e-mails a week.
4. If you read my updates via an RSS feed aggregator or via a LiveJournal feed, there will be times when old posts will suddenly appear with non-working links, which happens as a result of my going back to an older entry to remove the links or to update or edit the post in any way. Again, I apologize if you missed these posts initially, but I cannot repost the songs. Lately I've been keeping songs up for two weeks to a month and I feel that should be plenty of time for you to get the songs. If you don't read your feeds often and regularly miss tracks, I suggest you bookmark the site and check it once a week or so.
5. I do not generally take requests nor do I guarantee that songs submitted to me will appear here. You're welcome to send me a track or two, but it might not hit the blog. Also, I get LOTS of e-mail so submissions sent via sites like YouSendIt or Dropload.com often expire by the time I get to them. Please attach your files to the actual e-mail if you want to ensure I get it. Similarly, I'd really appreciate it if those of you sending MP3s to my inbox would check to see whether or not I've already posted the tracks first. There is a search bar in the upper left corner of the site that should assist you in said endeavor. Granted, chances are good that even if I've not posted it, I already have it, but at least there's a chance I don't.
6. If you're looking for a few suggestions on beginning your own cover hunts, here is an old entry that might prove helpful.
7. If you are a member or agent of a band, please keep in mind that I ONLY POST COVER SONGS. Similarly, I do not "review" albums. I will most likely delete and ignore any communication from you that shows you do not understand this.
Thanks for listening,
Liza.

Thank you for posting this.

And yes 386dx is an influence - I saw him perform years ago (1999?) on that very same stage actually!
He's similar in that he used synthetic vocals, but deliberately nasty default MIDI sounds, which I really dig, but with what I'm doing I'm trying to go for an uncanny emotional hit playing with studio tricks that imply feeling, rather than sap anthems of their soul which I think was his stance ( for the recordings that is . . . see myspace.com/computersings ).
The 386dx performance is also similar but different I think in that there was no personification of computer . . . he ( the human, Alexei Shulgin ) wore a keyboard with a guitar strap and started up his general midi files off an, even then, ancient pc ( 386 processor ). . . great stuff, and charming in his shrugging onstage dealing with persistent crashes when I saw him, but again a different take on a similar thing.
Something more directly like my thing is Eedie & Eddie And The Reggaebots, which someone directed me to recently, in that their song is 'introduced' by the computer performers . . .
There's many others doing, or have done stuff, that overlap if different ways . . . pretty obivous recommendations to check out would be Cylob, and Lassigue Bendthaus who uses a vocoder ( treated human voice ) rather than synthesized speech, but does interesting cover choices . . . guess as hardened cover lovers you all know SchneiderTM's the light 3000 too by now yes!?
PS . . . Just found a 386dx performance on youtube !
