Songs Not By Them – Williamston by David Baldwin

Williamston by David Baldwin

The second Songs Not By Them post, this is actually a cover of one of my songs.
David Baldwin performed everything here. He’s awesome, has done some tracks on this blog, likes The Millennium, and is in The Pantones. Anybody that doesn’t appreciate his musicianship is a complete loser!

Songs Not By Them – Get a Grip by Bad Weather California

Get a Grip by Bad Weather California.

Technically, this song is not a cover. It’s a VIDEO cover. A project the band is doing where they re-contextualize old Aerosmith videos with a new song. Adam Baumeister from BWC submitted it. Incredible. It almost makes the original video not so creepy. The original music video is super wince-inducing on many MANY levels. But hey, that’s MTV.
