A couple music-related web sites of interest:
- LyricWiki is run using MediaWiki, the same software that runs Wikipedia. They describe themselves as “a free site which is a source where anyone can go to get reliable lyrics for any song from any artist without being hammered by invasive ads.” The site is in need of content for the less-mainstream musicians, but you can help out (which is what wikis are for).
- Second Hand Songs is a site devoted to song covers (when a musician or band does a song by another musician or band). If you want to find out who did the original version of Louie, Louie, or scan the variety of covers for the Beatles’ Yesterday, this is definitely the site you want.
