“Hitchhiker’s Epitaph” originally by Matt Mahler
Cover of the Month Club
It's the grand finale of the Cover of the Month Club! Thanks to everyone who contributed! If you're feeling nostalgic, all our past videos can be found in the ARCHIVES.
Our final theme is Cover a Friend Month. Choose a song by a musical friend of yours (or another COTM member) and SUBMIT IT.
“The River” was originally written by Stripes on Stripes http://www.myspace.com/stripesonstripes
Performed by Charlie and Matt. Jason got bored and tried his hardest to break our concentration. Bloopers at the end…

COTM Grand Finale: Cover a Friend Month
After a lot of thought and internal debating, I’ve decided it’s finally time to put the Cover of the Month Club on indefinite hiatus (or “take it out back” as JP suggested). Clearly some of the steam has run out on us, but it’s been a really good year. In all we’ve recorded 75 videos since last November! Thanks for being a part of this musical experiment!
So, as our grand finale, it’s time for one theme I’ve been wanting to do for a while - “Cover a Friend” month. You can pick anyone who has contributed to COTM (see links below for inspiration) or any other musical friends you have. Have fun with it, and let’s go out with a bang!

Marty, Doc, Peter Pan, and Rufio travel to the future to perform The Decemberists - Shanty for the Arethusa before the time-space flux capacitor is lost forever. By James (guitar), Brett (accordion), Judy (cup of sharpies) and Bonnie (sets of keys). One take!

September = Madonna Month
The people have spoken, and they want Madonna! Learn a song of hers and post your video here.
“Michelle” by The Beatles. Please pardon my awful French.
August = Foreign Language Month
Welcome back, coverers! After a solid month of American covers, it’s time to prove that you’re worldly, right? So pick a song in a different language and submit it.
This is for you, America…
The Ken Burns Effect?
