Entry: Another l'il push............ Friday, October 06, 2006

The biweekly Trollling the Underground contest for this week is still unwon, folks. As you may know, the first person to guess the artist I'll feature next gets a full copy of the bootleg recording I'll be featuring a cut from. Last week's clue was:

When one mother made fun of another, a future band got its' name.


Now I'll give you another:

Their music has been covered by the likes of Garth Brooks, Taj Mahal, Van Halen, and Kubota Makoto.

You have until Friday morning. Who says I don't love ya?

Interesting blog you have here!

Thanks for the info on the pentagram I did not know it made a difference which way up it was. She must be a dyslexic satanist then. It's always good to learn something new.

I'll need to stop by again.

WOW. JK, I guess I did at that! I thought that by skipping Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt and going woith what I thought were more obscure covers, I'd still have a challenge there. Did you Google it, or did you just happen to know some of those covers? Of the ones I listed, I've only listened to the Taj Mahal cover (Feats Don't Fail Me Now).

Anyway, good work! You'll have to send me an address, I don't keep them.

HA! I thought THIS one was hard! I thought the Max Roach one was damn near impossible. On the other hand, I though I was giving that Moody Blues one away, and didn't think that Martin Mull woulld elude everyone as he did. You just never know.

I just Googled it myself, jk, and looked at all three pages that came up. I saw nothing about Little Feat and precious little in English. You earned it, my hat's off!

Even my little clue drop in the original post didn't spark any guesses. Good ninja-ing, jollykay!

I was going to guess the Who making fun of the New Yardbirds giving rise to Led Zepplin, because I am too lazy to look up cover versions.

Little Feat kicked ass before Lowell died, but it still kicks a bit of butt these days!
