What it does

When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.

When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2003

A volunteer-built database of cover versions, with details of the original songs, adaptations and samples.

By 2021 it listed roughly a million covers of 100,000 original works. In 2025 its most covered song was 'Stille Nacht', written in 1818, with 4,229 versions.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
