@philipnareike Oh, I filled in the wrong name, it's "Stare" I'll edit the name ;-)
(and there's a whole album of covers of CC on the Tribute album :-D)
@altngo Yep! Most tributers are not very well known, it's sometimes surprising what others make of the songs, some you will like, others not really but you might discover an artist :-)
@Madferrit With covers it's a bit strange ... you'll always compare it to the original (if you know it). Some you will like, other you won't. It will be no surprise I jammed the one I like most ;-)
More on that: Hello fellow Jammers, Following the devastating news that This Is My Jam is about to close, me and a team of web-developers have just launched a new website - God's Jukebox - which is very much inspired by the TIMJ concept. Once registered, you should hopefully feel right at home on the site, as we have tried to emulate the TIMJ experience where possible. Please note, the site is brand new, and at this stage we have been implementing what we consider to be the core functionality.
continued... For instance the site is currently YouTube only, and not mobile optimised as yet. However we intend to expand upon and develop the site over time. If you are willing to take a look any thoughts or feedback would be welcomed Thanks Jackattackme aka God (on God's Jukebox) http://www.godsjukebox.com
@Salvadore I didn't know it was a cover...but on covers,its rare that a cover will be better than an original, I don't mind covers as long as the band try and make it sound new/original...which is really hard!!
@labracoon I'm on side with GJ already! you've done a great job already and I know it'll be even better ...Also, knowing how much you know about TIMJ I know you'll adapt it to be brilliant in the end..thank you and soooooo impressed..brilliant!...i do feel for Letsloop they've been brilliant but you have my vote!!
@Madferrit It seems you've confused me with those on God's technical team. I'm just a cheerleader, not a website builder. Credit should be given to @jackattackme and his team.
@labracoon well your rubbish then!! i retract everything I've said!!(ha-ha!.just joking!)...i'm with you though on GJ!! :-D @jackattack cheers mate!! please refer to my comment earlier :-)
@labracoon yes apologies to @Salvadore.... your (deliberate error) right though apologies for the lack of apostrophe's..:-P (ha-ha!) will definitely see you at GJ where I promise to be better!!

@Madferrit Back at you, but I would write "you're" instead of "your". See you at godsjukebox.com when the TIMJ doors are locked.
labracoon
@Madferrit with apologies to @Salvadore for this conversation on his page. @Madferrit--it's @jackattackme (not the one without the 'me')
Madferrit
