Presenting the COVER ME! Mix

Volume 17 of the Green Monkey Music Project is completed and available for download!

As promised, I have provided both the covers selected by the participants, and additionally am including the same song by the original artist.

If the participants of this mix want to discuss their own selections, please feel free to do so! I'll put a pointer on this post if you end up posting about it on your own blog (or you could always just add comments here, I suppose).
