respect i often play the odd cover at gigs and, in response to lots of requests, i decided to record some of them and give them away. i noticed that several of the songs i've covered over the years have been from the 1980s (something to do with my age, perhaps?), so i decided to turn it into a bit of a concept. each one was a cover of a song from the 1980s which has a special significance for me, so it is quite a personal selection. throughout 2010, i released one song a month. each song was available to download for free during that month. |
