I no longer have a personal website and I figured that from now on, I'll let everyone know where they can download all my cover songs new and old. So dig no more. From now on, any new cover song will be uploaded here at this page and there will be announcements via MySpace and at the forums. Some may even be recorded live! I probably will just do a few every other month or so and let everyone know they're up, or check back once in awhile or so because we all know how I compulsively record.

These are some selected favorites from fans and myself over the years that I've had sitting around since around 2004. I've released them sporadically here and there (the only ones receiving any notice were The Smiths and U2 from various message board forwards and music blog posts), but it's good to finally give these a home. I'm grateful to the CLLCT for allowing me to archive them. They may not top the originals, but I record these out of love and affection. "Into My Arms," the Nick Cave cover, features vocals from my friend Donner, of Beyond Gods and Empires.

If you like something here, let me know. If you have a cover song request, feel free to post a comment. Perhaps you will see it listed here in time :)

"Pretty Pathetic" is my favorite Smoking Popes, and the ultimate James Eric anthem :)
