2007-05-06T07:34:00.000-07:00

Greetings WhyFi Fans!

Welcome to the 73rd edition of Why Fidelity. Over the last couple of years I've posted (way) more than a hundred podcasts between Why Fidelity and various seasonal specials (Prof Ravensdeath and so on - check out the SensesWorkingOvertime archives for more info on my Halloween and Christmas shows) and it's been a real labor of love. Unfortunately love alone isn't enough anymore and I can no longer afford to run Why Fidelity as a loss leader. From now on it's going to have to grow up, move out of the house and start paying it's own way. That's where you come in...

Please consider making a small donation to help cover Why Fidelity's podcast/blog hosting fees. So long as these very modest costs are covered by generous listener donation s Why Fidelity will be able to continue. Remember, the WhyFi podcast contains no advertising, it's pretty much pure music all the way through, so your support is critical to it's survival.
Thanks for taking the time read my plea and now it's on with the show...

Then it's a rare track from the late Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, Paul Williams' Faust from The Phantom of Paradise, The Year 2000, a dark futuristic spiritual from Estelle, Jake Thakray's Remember Bethlehem, The Fool's Reincarnation, Doo Wop'ers The Velveteens Please Holy Father and we close with Half Man Half Biscuit detailing many of the Lord's strange and wonderful gifts to man in God Gave Us Life.

Why Fidelity 31 : the Inevitable Beatles Covers show

2006-03-10T19:58:00.000-08:00

Well, after 30 shows the creative well has run dry and here it is - a show full of Beatles covers. The podcast/sharity version of "twofer tuesday" or "Rocktober" this classic bit of programming may be familiar but it still yields literally tens of minutes of terrific listening...

But seriously folks, here are 8 fairly obscure but entirely worthwhile covers along with a pair of tunes about the oh so fab four. Enjoy!

Why Fidelity 26 - The Inevitable Covers Show

Download Show 26 | Why Fidelity Archives

Most Why Fidelity shows spin at least one or two covers but this week it's all about the re-imagining of classic pop tunes. A pretty mellow collection with only a couple of tunes worth more for their novelty value then listenabilty - Mr. French's Dylan cover springs immediatly to mind...

Show 26 Playlist:

Light my Fire - Free Design
Angel Eyes - The Czars
The Look Of Love - Novi Singers
A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Big Jim Sullivan
Sunday Will Never Be the Same - Gary Mcfarland
Buenos dias dulce Estrella - Los Sonidos De Hoy
Seasons In The Sun (Le Moribond) - John and Anne Ryder
They Long to Be Close to You - Richard Chamberlain
All I Really Want To Do - Sebastian Cabot
The Letter - Fear Itself
Where Have All The Flowers Gone? (Dove sono finiti fiori?) - Nives
Wild Thing - Goodies

As is the case with every installment of Why Fidelity, most of these tracks come from my own collection but a few have arrived via the amazing generosity of the small, but powerful, army of sharity bloggers who selflessly throw their hard earned collections of rare vinyl open to the rest of us. This week's show features tracks shared by the likes of hansZUNblog and mexicovers and possibly a third - I tend to lose track of what comes from where. Other astounding sharity sites include Planet Xtabay, Endless Mike, Chocoreve, Groovy Fab Workshop and, well instead of my listing them all just check out Planet Xtabay's Blogroll - every site you might possibly want to visit can be found there.
