A poorly thought-out contrivance by which Merlin Mann cajoles his friends and his favorite bands into recording spirited, power pop covers of Palace’s song, “I am a Cinematographer,” from the 1994 album Days in the Wake (Drag City).

New site

Since response to the project has been so swell, we wanted to beef up the web site with a little more information. We’re still just getting started here, but, in the mean time, you can check out:

In the coming weeks, we’ll be adding more information and features including:

  • Site registration for extra features, comment posting, etc.
  • More information on ways to send your cover to us
  • More details on the final shape of the project and our plans for showcasing your submissions
  • More FAQs and background information

As ever, you can also contact Merlin with your questions, submission information, and offers of help and hosting.

It would please Merlin much if these folks (plus, of course, you) would participate in this noble human undertaking.
