Pretty cool stuff - all covers - on this album - mostly local artists, many of which you've all heard of:  Cover Charge: NC Artists Go Under Cover to Benefit Cat's Cradle
 "Music is the lifeblood of the Triangle, and for fifty years, Carrboro’s live music venue Cat’s Cradle has been the heart that keeps it pumping. But like many independent music venues across the country, Cat’s Cradle is in trouble. With its concert calendar canceled and the building shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club is struggling to cover rent and basic overhead costs. With the prospect of drastically reduced revenue even after shows return, there is a growing need to help it survive until things normalize.
 Cover Charge: NC Artists Go Under Cover to Benefit Cat’s Cradle brings together some of North Carolina’s most notable artists across multiple genres to support the venue they love. Each act performs a cover version of a favorite song, with many recorded during the pandemic. All proceeds from the sale of Cover Charge will benefit the Cat’s Cradle to ensure it can restore its rightful place for generations to come."

I'm impressed with the way such a younger group of people have taken to Porcupine Tree and "Trains"
and the editing of this vid.

That's a sweet version.  It's an odd coincidence that I've been listening to the original a lot lately.  I always wondered why they wrote a tune about a town in LA,  since they're from NJ.  I see now that the Wiki page has a short explanation.

Hammond Song from 4SP Creative on Vimeo.

Since it linked to an auto-fullscreen version, just a lucky guess that "4spcreative/review" had something to do with that, so I deleted it and wa-la, it went to a normal vimeo page. 4spcreative probably belongs, but it found it okay just using the numbers.

No luck with embedding but damn that's pretty.

I went to school in New Orleans, which is a short drive from Hammond, LA. There was a cult there, and one of the Roches wrote a song where she warned her sister to not go there/join. 

Here’s an extraordinary cover of that song, Hammond Song, from the first Roches album. 

If someone can figure out how to embed it, I’d be obliged.

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

A song appropriate to the occasion.
