Tommy, can you hear me?

An MP3 blog dedicated to cover songs, good and bad.
liza.copyright @ gmail.com
See my helpful list of Disclaimers and Reminders after the Blog Roll and Other Links.
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.

fuck woozyfly and fuck tommy
I concur with Randy.
fuck em.
thanks for ALL the great covers.
I agree with the previous statement
completely, even if I choose not to
be as straightforward. (No dig on
him, I just choose not to.)
I've been enjoying your site and
especially your taste in covers for
a long time now; you've turned me
on to a lot of cool bands, and I
appreciate it. Regardless what he
or any other negative person may
say, you're doing a great service
and a great job.
Best to you always.
Sincerely, Tom
(I assure you that is the only
thing I have in common with that
other...guy.)

Cry Me a River......hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
I worked with the guy who created the first vw.com way, way back in 1995. Back then, before most regular people "got" the internet, he said that the best thing about the web is that it is free and open. And the worse thing about the web is that it is free and open. Your pal Tommy proves that the second part is true.
Don't let the Bastards get you down. If it weren't for your incomparable Class, Style and Grace they wouldn't be investing their efforts to siphon off your Limelight. They'll never hold even a dull ember to you. The pyramid is unfortunately, always biggest on the bottom. Shine on you Crazy Diamond.
i agree with randy, also whilest i'm commenting. i've always wanted to know. do you work or design for threadless? just wondering, i own 5 or so their nice shirts.
For instance, Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" is not the same "Cry Me a River" Julie London sang, etc.
Great. Now I'm imagining a Julie London lounge version of "SexyBack."
And it's not half bad, really ...
i don't think you shoot for elegance particularly, at least not very often, but i must say your handling of that was very much that--elegant. nicely done. woozyfly's strategy has backfired.
Low: I do not design Threadless shirts. I just like 'em. I attempted to work their most recent holiday sale and managed to throw my back out the third day and not be able to return. Heh. So it goes.
Dearest Lobstar,
Please ignore Him. He knows not the sin he hath commited. If he knew the manna you rained upon my once boring music library, he would repent. Instead he can go to hell. He goes to hell and he dies.
Thanks for continuing to have such a great site, not only in your choice of tracks which is superb, but also for the straightforward layout and lack of ads. I actually went and perused the Woozyfly site, and I will never go back. It's an egregious site that is all ads and little in the way of real content. And what songs were there, sucked. Maybe that guy should go into peddling porn instead. -Jim
I concur with all the positive comments about you, Dearest Lobstar, and send vile curses upon "Tommy" & woozyfly!
Just another comment to say that there're still real human beings out here--i.e., not spambots or spammen--enjoying the blog.
Don't let one troll ruin all you have here ..... There are loads of us here who enjoy you perspective & taste ... & are very appreciative of all you do here .. I know how annoying one twit can be ... but lets ignore & get back to the music ....
MAbe a Sound of Music covers feature ... Rocky Horror picture show covers & camp versions ...
I don't think I'm letting one troll ruin anything. I was merely explaining exactly why I'm moderating comments from now on.
UR The best, Lobstar. Been a fan of yours forever. And I don't care if you get stuff wrong even when you do get stuff wrong because, hey, this is all free.
And I screw up on my blog all the time, too.
Keep the faith!
i would like to take the time to say that you should disregard anything by "he who should not be named", and just continue being awesome.
:)
