There are a lot of great flavors on this weeks song. We start off hot and streamy, get a bit frazzled in the middle and wrap it up with a cool minty finish. In that way it’s like drinking hot car wax poured over a mint chocolate chip sundae... hmmmm hot car wax!

This week I’m feeling a little reflective and a little emo. I know, weird. This episode wasn’t suppose to be a themed mix but when I got all the records together I realized I had pick 15 total downers. Actually I think this episode ended up being pretty sweet.

Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to Cover to Cover. This time we get down to basics. 5 covers of Bruce Springsteen’s 1985 classic I’m On Fire. Enjoy.
I’m On Fire, written by Bruce Springsteen, the fourth single released from his massively successful album Born in the U.S.A.. It’s been covered by every two bit band with a guitar but I’ve selected a few that break the mold and/or perfect it. I think you’ll like it. Merci.

This week I continue with the new music kick, adding a few old gems for your consideration. Naturally this streak of new music can’t last forever but for the time being we seemed blessed with a steady stream of note worthy hits. Enjoy it while it lasts... these are the halcyon days my friends!

Welcome to a new feature here on Enthusiastic Amateur. We’re going to start doing little mini podcast usually centered around one band, one song or one album. It’s not going to be an every week thing but we’ll do it on a time to time basis. This first edition is dedicated to Brian Eno’s seminal 1973 album “Here Come The Warm Jets”.

Listen to this episodeThis week I’ve got a couple of new songs and a whole bunch of prog rock at the back half of the show. I’ve also got a mild cast of swine flu so don’t get too close to the speakers. It’s making me no fun so this is sort of a bare bones, right down to brass tacks kind of show. I don’t really know what that means. Is anyone even reading this? Enjoy. Merci.
