Now for final episode of Cover Song Challenge for 2009.

Just 2 this time around. Pete did one but chickened out, WIMP.

As usual we will have a week of voting. Tune in after 10:00 on the 17th December to see who wins.




1 - Only You - Lyns (featuring Stephen)

You want to hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right: I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold, hard cynic like you. But I don't like to hurt people's feelings. You think what you want about me, I'm not changing. I...I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. Because I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.

2 - Only You - Green Alsatian

Another ill-fated attempt at singery - Alison Moyet has an even deeper voice than I do! Good old Alf.

Here's the geek bit - the following toys were used on this entry:

Boss DR-220 - drums. This is a cheap 'n cheesy little machine from 1984. I ran it through my EHX White Finger compressor, to smooth it off a bit.
Roland XP-50 - 'Vox Continental' organ and 'Vox Celesta'.
Fender Stratocaster - intro guitar, need to change the strings on it as it sounds like a sitar, so I switched to...
Vintage Lemon Drop - all other guitar work. The strings on this need changing too! Both guitars were ran through a DOD FX90 Analogue Delay pedal for a bit of slapback.
Jazz Bass - my latest build, having dismantled the green travesty and farmed it out for parts. I've done it properly this time, building with the best parts I could afford. Job done!

Hey Pete, where is yours?! I was told you had done one. Why was in not submitted? (Stamps foot, arms crossed)

I've obviously voted for you GA. I'll have a listen later when I get home. Looking forward to it!! :D

Likewise, Lyns - you automatically got my vote. I shall listen when I escape, later on. :wink:

They were both really good, but I've voted for Lyns, its nice and relaxed, and you've got a really nice singing voice.

Lyns - you have a lovely voice. You should definitely sing more - I'll pre-empt this and say that you'd best start thinking of next year's challenge. Great work with the guitar, too - Ste!

Cheers Stu - I'm starting to think 'sod it', to masking my voice behind machinery. You can't polish a... :wink:

Cheers dudes.

I love that GA. Very heart warming, it was lovely. Hey maybe we should duet and do a bit of Kiki Dee and Elton John next time. :wink:
That's actually an idea. A cover competition but only duets next time. Hmmm.

Thanks for the kind comments Lyns! I've had another listen and I sound like Ian Curtis on it! :lol:

You're on, Lyns - that'd be a proper aural 'beauty and the beast'! :lol: :wink:

Ok, so I guess this means my cover won? Thanks for voting peeps.

I think given the lack of participation, it might be worth postponing the next cover song challenge for a few months. Just an idea. :)

Congrats Lyns - a deserved win! :wink:

Aye, it seems to died on its arse after the initial few challenges and there's only a handful of regular voters too.

Ha ha, you've single handedly kept this challenge going GA - hats off to you. I'm sure you competed against just yourself once.

Two really good covers again!

Lyns I'm voting. I absolutely love it. The vocals sound amazing and the guitar work is fantastic!

It's going straight on my mp3 player¬
