@duolingoverde.bsky.social ads include ones for Trump Philadelphia Golf Course. It's sickening to see them, and it needs to stop. What a horrible ad to put in an app for learning languages. #Duolingo

Yes, there are some covers that had to go on my list no matter what, like Mark Ronson w/Amy Winehouse.

Finally! Got another song. #15 Tainted Love by Soft Cell. #XPNCountdown #LostiesRule

This is the part of the #XPNCountdown where I love the songs, but didn't vote for them because I knew other people would.

I loved Charles Bradley. What a great cover. #XPNCountdown.

I think that everything I hear this 😎

I saw them on a double bill with Uriah Heep! Baltimore Civic Center, around 1974. They wore kaftans, and sang 🎶 Keep Your Head to the Sky 🎶.

Eisbär!🐻‍❄️

Only 2 from my list have made it so far. #XPNCountdown

I remember when Brandi Carlile did this cover of "Creep" at the XPoNential festival, circa 2006. It had been very hot all day, and she came on at sunset, with cool breezes blowing off the river. It was lovely. #XPNCountdown #IWasThere

Losties rule! Right @djrobertdrake.bsky.social ?

Not a Phish phan either, but not a hater. I'm more like the #1 Hold Steady Hater.

I've had this happen several time: "Wait! That's a cover? Oh, it's not 8:00 yet". #XPNCountdown

Damn straight.

First song from my list that I've actually heard! #136 "Strawberry Letter 23" by The Brothers Johnson, covering Shuggie Otis. I have the red "strawberry scented" vinyl version of the 45 rpm, that I borrowed from my sister, probably 40 years ago. #XPNCountdown

I should have voted for #221 "Everybody's Talkin'" by Nilsson. I adore this song. So glad other people included it on their list. #XPNCountdown

Yesterday, I turned off the radio and took a little nap, which caused me to miss one from my list: Wall of Voodoo covering "Ring of Fire" at #266. No more naps! #XPNCountdown

Enjoyed hearing Robyn's take on why he loves this song.
#280 "The Ghost in You" covered by Robyn Hitchcock. #XPNCountdown

Did not know that Yo La Tengo's "You Can Have It All" was a cover. Love it. #XPNCountdown

Oh, I love that one. I love the energy of Joe's cover. The slower versions are very different. It's all subjective of course.

Listening to this Freedy Johnston version of "Wichita Lineman" reminds me that there's a difference between someone covering a great song, versus a great cover song. To my ears, this one is the former. #XPNCountdown
