Songs LXV: Don't Call it a Comeback...It Might Not Last.
Well, isn't this pretty. If LiveJournal didn't suck, I could figure out how to make it my heading. Anyhoo, I guess I'll start posting again and see how long I can keep it up.

Palace Brothers: I Send My Love to You (1994) from Days in the Wake.
Calexico: I Send My Love to You (Palace Brothers Cover) (2004) from I Am A Cold Rock. I Am Dull Grass. A Will Oldham Tribute.

Jose Gonzalez: Hand on Your Heart (Kylie Minogue Cover) (2005) from the Stay in the Shade EP. Don't let the Kylie throw you; this is a gorgeous ballad...
