I'm at work, so I'll make this quick...
Firstly, coverfans and folklovers alike may find delicious aural pleasure in a few choice covers I put up over at Fong Songs late last night: a pair of great, funked-up covers of Barry White and Black Sabbath songs from hipster-meets-mariachi-band Cake, and two wonderful, delicate acoustic folk covers -- a Cake song, and another by previously-featured master songcrafter Randy Newman -- from countryfolk singer-songwriter to the stars Kim Richey.
In other, sadder news, Liza at Copy, Right announced today that she has decided to end her tenure as a cover blogger.
I'd call for a moment of silence, but Liza likes it loud. So let me just say that Liza was a trailblazer for us coverlovers, the original maverick who set the standard for the odd and obscure. Though our musical tastes were vastly different, her love of coversong and her strong opinion about what worked, and why, was always evident in her posts, and I made it a point to stop by regularly. The hole that Liza's absence will leave in my feedreader may be small, but her strong influence will surely continue in the legacy she leaves behind -- no small part of which is evident in Cover Lay Down.
Liza, we'll miss you. Thanks for your mentorship, and for sharing your love of covers with all of us.
Finally, I wanted to let folks know that due to circumstances beyond my control, I have no home computer to blog from for a short while. It is my hope that the effect of this will be invisible to my readers; I tried to plan ahead by uploading songs for the next week before the laptop went bye-bye. But just in case, apologies in advance for any posts which might be late, or look like they were written in a hurry on a public machine.

Thank you for the kind words.

Aw, too bad about Copy, Right.
I've been blogging without a home computer for the past three years. I don't think it shows most of the time. At least I hope it doesn't! :)
Muruch:
It's not the blogging without a home computer that I mind so much, though it's worth noting I cannot access mp3 files from work (schools block that stuff), so I can't do it there, either.
It's really the issue of not having access at night. I work all day, and then choose to spend the few remaining hours before kid bedtime with my children. After that, there's quite literally NO place to use a computer in our tiny rural town -- I'd have to drive almost an hour away to get somewhere with open access AND computers for others to use that late at night.
I'd also be at a total loss without a real, huge archive of music at my fingertips for posting. This is NOT about legality -- these days, I have a growing archive of music that artists and labels have given me permission to use as I see fit, and I really appreciate that. But I also need to have those ten songs (or whatever) with me when I write and post. And I can't do that outside the house right now.
If I was a blogger posting about (and WITH) NEW music provided by labels and artists, like yourself, I could get away with not having music "with me" when I posted. But while I admire your ability to do this, I don't think it works for the KIND of blog I keep, legal or not.
But that last point is a secondary issue. The timing is the crucial thing. If blogging meant missing those few precious hours with my kids, I'd have to stop blogging. If I couldn't blog at night, I wouldn't blog.
