Buffet Libre

Before this morning, I'd never heard of Buffet Libre. A small part of me wishes I still hadn't heard of it, because the intro audio/header plays every time you go to the page and there is no mute button to be found.

The larger part of me is grateful, however, because the e-mail informing me of the aforementioned site also informed me of a huge '80s cover project being undertaken there. The first part (18 tracks) was released July 1st and the remainder will be released September 1st, bringing the total to 58.

As a collection it's hit and miss, like anything else, but there are a few intriguing interpretations from some linesthroughlines faves I thought you might enjoy.

Listen:
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Another Satellite (XTC)
PYC - Summer of '69 (Bryan Adams)
Saint Bernadette - Owner Things (Yes vs. Howard Jones)
