It starts on a Wednesday, with a faint feeling of not-rightness about the head, as if the senses were secretly, suddenly drunk. And you can't teach like this, so you check yourself out early from work, a pre-emptive strike that gives false hope Thursday morning but ultimately fails: by Thursday night the throat begins to swell and catch, shrugging itself into place like a cachet of blankets, and the body remembers: this is how it begins, and it's not going to be fun. Friday morning marks the first of 5 days of high fever [...]

Hayseed Dixie: Back In Black [ purchase ] Coverlovers know 2001 as the year that Hayseed Dixie released their debut album "A Hillbilly Tribute To AC/DC," thus introducing the world to "rockgrass", and the inevitable imitators that would follow. It's hard to find the real story behind the absurdism here. The band's entirely implausible mythos, as presented in this picture-perfect parody of a down-home Disney YouTube video , has them as true redneck hillbillies, all coveralls and beards, shotguns [...]

Tomorrow we head down to the first Wilderness Festival , taking place on our back door in the beautiful Cornbury Park Estate. Previously this lovely venue has hosted the Cornbury Festival, which has thankfully now moved elsewhere as (trust us) it has the worse possible line-up you could ever imagine for an event of this type. Anyway, the Wilderness is, as we say, a different kettle of fish featuring Gogol Bordello, Toots and the Maytals, Dry The River, Hypnotic Ensemble, CW Stoneking and Hayseed Dixie all creating the sounds today. Antony and the Johnsons [...]

I WANNA BE YOUR COVER! #3 O nome da nossa seção de covers mudou mas a proposta continua a mesma: apresentar grandes reinvenções de trabalhos de artistas que você curte e que costuma acompanhar por aqui!

Hayseed Dixie- Ace of Spades (Motorhead cover) 2. Albert Kuvezin & Yat-Kha - Love Will Tear Us Apart 3. William Shatner- Common People (Pulp Cover) [...]

Well, this was going to be a regular feature and then things kinda got away from me a little bit... However thought i'd re-try it seeing that i've come up with a couple of tracks that have been interesting me... Nada Surf - The Agony of Lafitte (Spoon) Antony & The Johnsons - Here Comes The Sun (The Beatles) My Morning Jacket - [...]

If you've been playing along, you already know that we're blogging from the road as we drive North up the California coast, with a day or two each in Eugene and Portland before we head homeward a week from today. In fact, if today goes as planned, we'll be wand'ring (and camping) amidst the redwoods as this post goes live. As is our tradition here on Cover Lay Down, our immersion in the culture and landscape of a particular vacation region has precipitated a series of features which connect our coverfolk mandate to [...]

Hayseed Dixie is a novelty band that issued a tribute album to heavy metal legends AC/DC in 2001 (completely reworking the Australian band's classics as country/hillbilly rave-ups), titled A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC. Their sense of humor is also evident in their bio, which claims that the band hails from Deer Lick Holler, "deep in the heart of the Appalachia," where its members grew up playing

das jahr 2005 kann man wohl als höhepunkt meines studentendaseins bezeichnen - ich machte meine zwischenprüfung und fing im herbst an, beim münchner studentenradio m94.5 mitzuarbeiten. zwischendrin reiste ich durch halb europa, nur um ein konzert einer meiner lieblingsbands zu sehen... die unterscheidung zwischen den damaligen und den lieblingsplatten aus heutiger sicht wird zunehmend schwieriger, weil sich mein musikgeschmack in den letzten fünf jahren nicht wirklich relevant geändert hat. deshalb werde ich die jeweils korrespondierenden kategorien ab jetzt zusammenfassen. meine alben des jahres [...]
Technically, the archive hosts the biggest collection of covers, but they've got all those original tunes in there, too. I cut through the bullshit and give you the goods. One cover from several of my favorite bands with collections in the archive. Dig it. When the Levee Breaks (Led Zep)-John Popper (of Blues Traveller) Somewhere Over the Rainbow-Jefferson Starship Never Tear Us Apart (INXS)-John Mayer Gimme Some Lovin' (Spencer Davis Group)-G Love and Special Sauce [...]

I've always had a low tolerance for alcohol. In college, I could get three good nights off a six-pack. Today, even a single beer with supper gives me quite the buzz. Low tolerance means I don't drink much; after all, though I love a good microbrew IPA as much as the next guy, he can usually drive home afterwards, and I can't. But yesterday was a tough day. By the time I got home, it was time for a drink or three. I [...]
