Alexis Thompson is running a cover contest - which I think is a great idea (I wonder if it was hers?). Anyway, the way that it works is simple. You cover one of Alexis Thompson’s songs and send her a recording of it. The best cover wins. You can pick any of Alexis’s songs and submit as many covers as you like. The deadline for submission is, Friday 1^st August 2008. I’ve picked “I Hate Money” and here it is:

/* I Hate Money by Alexis Thompson 2007 */
/* Cover Version by Ian 2008 */
