Have you been able to sort out the legalities of making a cover recording available for free? Any advice you can offer there would be vastly appreciated. Thanks! (Paying royalties on covers on CDs and the like is actually pretty easy, I had no trouble sorting that part out. The difficult bit seems to be letting people hear 'em without charge on a blog or similar.) I also enjoy messing with covers - and would post them on my blog were it not for the rights problem.

I'm really glad you guys like the video! I worked on it (off and on) for about 4 months. I knew there was no way I'd be able to make a music video anywhere close to the quality of Mixalot's masterpiece, so I chopped his up and served on a JC platter! By the way, my wife plans to finish her Flickr-inspired video for Creepy Doll soon, so be on the lookout for that as well. Thanks again, and tell your friends!
