The Urban Landscapes Radioshow 11.15

Written by Velanche
Every year for the past four or so years, KCPR, the college radio station of Cal Poly State University here in San Luis Obispo, California, has had a tradition of encouraging shows all week long to play covers. For the unaware, covers are tunes sung that already been popularized or done, but given a bit of an update by a current artist. It’s essentially the musical equivalent of remakes for films. And just like film remakes, the updated music can either give new life, or will make someone want to cover their ears and hide.

I hope you keep your pair of precious ears uncovered, because Urban Landscapes is once again joining the rest fo the station in presenting to you its annual covers show. A surprising number of these covers are very recent, or are recent finds for, in one case, an upcoming compilation. There are even a couple of cover albums that are also in the mix.

I hope you enjoy the show; back next week.
