It's our 100th episode! Maybe! To help us celebrate, we've invited back a favorite guest, author Ian Rogers! He helps us take on U2 for a second time.
Despite forming in 1995 (and having no prior releases), Me First and the Gimme Gimmes put out their first album since 1984 in the summer of 1997. That album was called Have A Ball, and it's fittingly the first in our series of Me First album reviews. We listen to their sped-up takes of 60s and 70s classics (and Uptown Girl) and find out exactly why this album is one Danny will never forget.
Jon and Danny, with a lot of help from their guest Josue Sanchez, play through a list of amazing covers of the Natalia Lafourcade megahit "Hasta la Raíz".
Danny and Jon play some of the hardest-driving covers ever heard on this show, all in honor of the DEVO classic.
Danny and Jon take a stellar trip through the covers of The Only Ones hit "Another Girl Another Planet"
The title of this week's song abbreviates to I DAN. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Danny is going solo this time since Jon's studio is under the weather.
Jon and Danny go through as many covers of the Psychedelic Furs hit "Love My Way" as they can cram into one episode, and the results are some of the best yet!
After a brief time away, Jon is in his newly refurbished studio, and we are back! We play all the best covers of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" to celebrate these new beginnings.
Jon and Danny are back with the epic conclusion of their tribute to the classic Clash album London Calling
Danny and Jon try something new for this episode. This time around they are making their own tribute album. They each bring a nominee and decide whose track will be added to the ultimate tribute album to The Clash's classic album London Calling!
Jon and Danny close out the first annual (maybe) Moon Month with the Neil Young hit "Harvest Moon"!
January is moon month here at Blanketing Covers...for no real reason. We kick off the festivities with the Echo and the Bunnymen classic The Killing Moon.
Before launching back into the world of covers Jon and Danny take a look back at all the great new music that came from the year that was 2024
It's week two of our holiday episodes! This time around we are reviewing the Father/Daughter & Wax Nine Records Christmas comp Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Compilation!
It's the holiday season once again! This year our celebration is not one but two fantastic episodes! We kick it off with the Darlene Love classic Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)!
Neill Carroll joins Jon and Danny to do their first-ever all-Bandcamp episode with covers of Violent Femmes songs.
The ABBA run continues (or never happened depending on where you're listening)! Get into it with!
In 2018, Cher appeared triumphantly in Mamma Mia Here We Go Again, the sequel to the ABBA musical Mamma Mia. As if that wasn't enough, she released a full album of ABBA covers to go along with it. That album is Dancing Queen. Hear our thoughts on it on this week's episode!
On the last episode, Danny and Jon stumbled across Pete Yorn Sings the Classics while listening to his cover of Warren Zevon. Intrigued by the tracklist and wanting to understand Pete Yorn better, they decided to review it immediately. Listen in and hear what they think
Following the untimely passing of Warren Zevon, his peers, collaborators, and family gathered under the banner of this album to pay tribute to the monumental career of an amazing songwriter.
