Hello, everyone, I hope your February is going groovy!

I have some unfortunate news: is resigning from Game Mods. College is super stressful, I totally get that, so I wish her all the best, and hopefully she will come back to mod some more again!

That being said, Palette Swap is now back down to two sections, the least we've had in quite a while. This is an excellent time for you to apply for a section! Have an idea that you want to try out? Send a PM to with the official application filled out and a demo of your section, and we will begin your application process! You can write every month, every other month, or maybe just a one-shot every once in a while. We're willing to work with your schedule. And as always, if you'd like to submit some fanart to be featured, send me a PM with your art, and I will put it in the next issue to be featured!

Keep that in mind, and please enjoy this month's issue! ~FunkyK38

Take Cover!
Written by:

HI, readers! I'm your romantic Statistics Manager, Tucayo, here with this Valentine's Day Take Cover! special. I apologize if this section seems a bit shorter, but I have had a hectic month and haven't had much time to write! But anyway, on to the section. Romance has always been an essential part of music, and what better occasion to show some covers of love songs than in the month of love. So, let's get it ooon.

Our first song is a duet cover of 's 1991 mega-hit,. This version of the song is performed by none other than Extreme's lead guitarist,, and 's. This performance was part of a two-song joint set at the 2014, the second being Aerosmith's. Tyler also played a great solo version of.

Up next we have another duet cover, this time it's and  with their fantastic take on one of the most classic love songs of all time, the '. Strangely enough, no matter how hard I've looked, up to this day I haven't been able to trace the origin of this cover. Neither Bublé nor Rowland released it as a single or included it in an LP or EP, as far as I know it was not made for a soundtrack, and you can clearly hear it's a studio version so that rules out a TV show or a concert. Wikipedia's lists the song as appearing on an album called Home For Christmas, but there is no record at all of these artists ever featuring on an album called like that. And no, it's not on Michael's album either. Maybe one day I'll find out, and when I do you'll be the first to know. But until then, the only thing I can do is enjoy the cover.

Oh boy, a duet trifecta! I actually hadn't noticed all the songs I had selected for this month were duets, but I guess songs are more romantic if sung by two people?? Anyway, it's taking on their greatest hit,  with 's lead singer,. This performance aired on ABC's, which I watched in full as soon as I knew that was a thing. The show features acts from the past three decades covering classic hits or performing their own hit songs. So far it's only had one season but I am crossing my fingers for a second one!

To keep you in the romantic mood, I'll leave you with a terrific medley of love songs going from the 1960's to the 2010's..
