Try Something New: Tribute Fanmix and Fisheye Album Cover

[catko]

This is for tv_universe, so needed a TV theme. So I made Tribute Fanmixes for TV bands: The Monkees and the Partridge Family. I also learned a new graphic technique: how to do a fisheye graphic that is really only suited for an album cover, I think.

I've never made a tribute fanmix before; they are hard, since it's not songs or versions that I already knew, so there's a lot of listening to different versions, etc. Also, with the more limited oevre, it was kind of a stretch, especially for the Partridge Family. I had to pick a couple songs that just sampled their songs, and one where they covered -- Neil Sedaka -- as opposed to being covered. Given the source material, some of these covers are more silly than awesome, but a few of them are awesome. See what you think!
