Keith Moon – When I’m Sixty-Four

How ironic is it that he only lived to half that age?

Crap! As a Mellowmas devotee, I should have figured that out for myself. Thanks, Jeff -- I think.

Thanks for not ratting me out, Jeff! ;-)

Hey, I put the Jimi Hendrix and Al Green ones on there too. Don't I get credit for that?

(And the Brady Bunch one isn't that bad. Except for the fact that it's the Brady Bunch.)

Well, turns out it was (I think) a problem on my end... My connection had been hinky the past couple of days at other sites. I reset my modem this morning and, so far, everything seems to be much better.
Once again, double++ thanks, Popdosers!!!

I know what you mean about the Springsteen track. I was also overcome.

A few comments:
1. Bobby McFerrin is a genius.
2. I've always loved that Dionne Farris cover of "Blackbird"
3. The Bruce Springsteen track wasn't included in the zip file, so I had to download it separately. I have to say, it was a pleasant surprise. I am completely overwhelmed with emotion after listening to it.

That whole album (Is Nothing Sacred) is really great, I still pull it out from time to time. That band should have been huge, they were that good.

For people who eventually get this far into the mix, the track listed as "Track 1" by "Unknown Artist" is actually "Eleanor Rigby" by Sacred Rite.

That's how many awesome Beatles covers there are!

Dammit, that sucks. Please keep us posted...

Um...I didn't have this track, but I do have on my drive the "It's a Sunshine Day" comp that Rhino put out about 15 years ago. So if anybody ever needs to hear "Time to Change," or maybe "Truckin' Back to You," you know where to find me.

Amazing. We gave up 100 songs and people are still writing about the ones we left out.

I'm looking forward to listening to these... Some I have already, but most I don't.Big thanks, Popdose staff!
Now, if I can get the DL to work... After about 200MB, it has stopped. Twice. I suppose it's all my fellow PD fanatics trying to grab this one, too...
Well, third times a charm right?

Re: The Friday Mixtape: Beatles Covers Edition!

jefito — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:29:28 -0000

Well, that sucks. How big is the file you've downloaded? It should be about 400 MB.

Hey is anyone else having an issue with the .zip file? I got an error recommending that I re-D L it. WinZip seems to be fine since I am having no problems with another music zip that I have. Just letting you all know in case it's on your side.

Wow. Some I've heard and some I haven't. Look forward to checkin 'em out. Thanks for spending all that time on the list. Very cool.

How did we forget the Beastie Boys' version of "I'm Down" that was supposed to go on Licensed to Ill but Jacko said no-no? I also forgot Scritti Politti's cover of "She's a Woman."

Great list, especially RLJ doing "For No One."

But the two must-haves that aren't included is Siouxsie's "Dear Prudence" and Earth Wind & Fire's "Got To Get You Into My Life." The former is a mindblowing version that comes very close to exceeding the original, while the latter (from the awful Sgt Pepper movie) gives the song the soul and funk that Macca unfortunately couldn't quite pull off.

As much as I like Aerosmith doing "Come Together," I much prefer Joe Cocker's version from "Across the Universe." Indeed, the exclusion of any Cocker Beatle covers is almost criminal.

It's a pretty way out track...
