150 covers of a Todd Colby live on WFMU now!

So Kenny G of WFMU has assembled 150 cover versions from all over the world of the Todd Colby poem "Cake." I just got word but he's interviewing Todd as I write (started at 3 PM EST today @ wfmu.org) and willthen playing all the versions that people have sent in (three hours worth).

I gather from Todd (because my life is lived pretty much second- and thirdhand) that the recordings people have sent in are truly amazing and hilarious. Especially the three year old boy reading it named Irving Sendra.

There's a complete list that you can listen to.

And the sharp-eyed amongst you might recall that Todd Colby's collection Tremble & Shine is one of the bonuses for those who sign up for the 2006 Soft Skull Poetry Subscription.


Cheers,
Todd Colby
