Tribute Albums and Cover Compilations 2010, Vol. 3: Late year releases, missed gems, and new holiday compilations

As regular readers are surely aware, we tend to stay out of the ubiquitous year's-end "best of" fray, leaving compilation to those blogs that focus on the ever-new. In part, that's because we're archivists and folklorists, not tastemakers, here at Cover Lay Down - which is to say, you're just as likely to find a song from last decade as you are a release from last month being presented in our biweekly missives. Too, as a matter of policy and preference, we prefer not to play favorites among the best players, believing that [...]

Holiday Coverfolk 2010, Vol. 2: The Christmas Story, Covered

Holiday Coverfolk 2010, Vol. 2: The Christmas Story, Covered As a defining event at the heart of the Western world's most dominant religion, the Christmas story is perhaps the most sung-about narrative in history. But it's not just its religious importance which makes Christ's birth so present in the air and the airwaves. The prophecy foretold; the kings, the star, the road; Bethlehem and the manger; Mary and Joseph - as a text, the multifaceted story breaks down into a dozen moments, stretching far enough for a myriad of narrative approaches, from a multiplicity of perspectives. And whether we grow [...]

FREE Christmas Music from NoiseTrade

I've been pretty sick for the past few days... being sick absolutely sucks and it makes you realize that your parents were right: without your health, you got nothin'. Anyhow, because I've been basically bed-ridden, I've been listening to some excellent holiday music from Noise...

> sara groves - vent your "wrap rage" with "toy packaging" "Last year at Christmas I had to use a screwdriver, wire-cutters, and scissors to open a toy and nearly cut off my finger in the effort... ...I was relieved to see on Amazon.com that I am not the only one who suffers from 'wrap rage' - where better to vent my feelings about toy packaging than on a Christmas album!" - Sara Groves I heard this song and Sara's funny comments on the radio this morning. Not only are we "tortured" assembling the toys [...]
