The love story of Kirk and Spock, set to William Shatner's cover of Pulp's "Common People". I think you all undercover fans should like this. :)

So, in order to celebrate that fact, here is an episode made up of a mish-mash os songs with no particular theme to them, just to keep you all entertained.

And the line-up for this show is:

This seemed to go well with the you, the listeners, and given that I'm a real fan of Jazz music (of certain types of Jazz at least), I decided to scour my collection again for some new pearls.

This is what I came up with. This episode has more Jazz covers and some pretty cool and great songs.

So the episode lineup is as follows:

So I just had to sit down and pick some great covers to play for you tonight. But the thing is: I had thought of a theme for this show, but I don't happen to have enough songs to make a whole episode on that theme on my current collection and I really wanted to get this episode posted this weekend, so I just had to choose my songs some other way.

And this is what I've come up with. The tittle says it all really... These are some of the covers in my collection with a 4 star rating. (From the ones I haven't played yet, they are all new songs to the show).

Why, what did you think the title meant?

This is what you're going to listen to on the show tonight:

Today I bring you an episode which I've recorded a few days ago, but didn't find the time to post it until now.

The format of the show is a bit different than usual since I just introduce all the songs right at the beginning and then play them back-to-back, without the originals or any additional comments by me.

The show is a quiet one, with pretty "simple" songs with few instruments, but I explain things in more depth in the intro.

The line-up is as follows:

Glad to see you're still out there and you've been so patient and waited for me to come back to play some more songs for you.

And so that's what you get, some great new covers, this time around from oldies that we all know...

I'll play for you a cover of one song per year, from 1980 through 1989, this time without the segment from the originals and with very little talking in between them.

And so we have the following selection all geared up on the time machine:

First let me just get this out of the way: for those of you who've asked me about the show - no, I'm not gone, and neither is the show. At least not just yet. :-)

I have, however, fallen back to the two-week schedule for releasing the episodes.

This week we have five songs, uninterrupted by my babbling.

And this is the selection for tonight's show:

Well, this is the Christmas special episode and it's filled with Christmas-related songs (even if only tangentially in some cases).

This episode features all it's songs (except the first one that works as background music) played uninterrupted, with all the talking done at the beginning. I hope you enjoy it.

And next week there's more!

So in this show I start out with something in mind and then, in the middle of recording, I had to stop, leave home and come back to it later - after dinner and some shopping - and after that things take a different direction than the one I had initially planed.

I'd like to point out the last track to you as something particularly interesting. It is not something that's easy to listen to, I'm aware of that, but do try, I thing you might well be pleasantly surprised...

Yet another big surprise, both for you and for me.

Earlier this week I received an Email from Sid and Katherine from Too Much Rock with a submission for a whole show. And what a fun show it is, I'm sure you'll all enjoy it a lot, just as I have!

So many thanks to you both, Sid and Katherine, and if you ever again feel the need to put on a show late at night, just for the fun of it, then by all means, do send it over! :-)

Oh and to make good on their intentions I promise right now that there will be a new show next week, and the week after that. How's that for a good incentive?

Too Much Rock's selection, then, is as follows:

PS- I'll be away for the weekend (starting tomorrow), so any comments you care to leave on the podcast will have to wait for me to get back to be approved.

Not only is it produced by a couple friend of mine --Carlos and Carla (no link yet for either of them, but I'm told there will be something of that nature in time for the next show)-- but it is also a different concept, which was completely conceived by them.

Thank you both, it sure feels good to just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Due to the show's nature there is no track listing this week. It will all make sense when you listen to it, so do it already! :-)

PS- Please feel free to show your appreciation for Carlos' and Carla's idea and work in the comments, they will read them and I'm sure they will enjoy them.

In it I also make the announcement that I'm pulling back the podcast from being weekly to biweekly. At this stage it is just too hard for me to keep it up at a weekly rate all by myself.

Tonight's selection is as follows:

This time around we'll listen to covers that other artists made of Manson's songs.

Just be aware that the sound is really not very good so you'll have to strain a bit to understand it all, but I do think it is worth it.

Marado's selection for us tonight is:

Today is my wife's (Tuxa) Birthday and so I just had to make this a special episode dedicated to her. Kind of a small present.

Well, these are all covers that mean something special to her, either because she likes them or because they have some other meaning which I'll briefly alude to in the show.

And no, it is not an all-sappy/girlie show, do listen to it, even if you are more inclined to noisier, heavier music. I guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised.

Without further ado, the "Birthday selection" is:
