The Features
“Kari-Ann”
Live @ The Boro
May 2nd, 2002I talk about the May 2nd, 2002 show a lot on this blog, and that’s partly because I consider it to be one of the best shows they’ve ever done, but also because the band did something like 30 songs at that show (I am at work and do not have my database handy; yes, I WORK). That means that when all’s said and done, this one concert is gonna be responsible for a ton of the tracks on this site.
Also a note on how I’m deciding what to post everyday. I’ve tried to get it down to a science, one that is objective and not based only on OMGMYFAVESONGSOHMAN. In my database I have a list of every Features song in my collection. Next to the song is the total number of versions I have followed by the number of versions have been posted to this site. From that I get a measurement of the percentage of song versions every song has posted on the site. I sort it with the lowest percentages first and post a version from that lowest-ranked song every day. That way I won’t burn through all of the versions of “Harder To Ignore” (of which I have 4) when I still have plenty of “Kari-Anns” to publish (19 total). To keep things from getting stale (AND APOLOGIES IF THEY ARE!) I try to only post a song once every 30 days (this rule gets tossed in event weeks like Acoustic Week).
Like I said previously, there are still around 20 or 30 songs that have still not been posted to this site, including one big’un that I have 14 versions of and have post nary a one to the site. Can you guess which one that is? Mysteries!

Send song requests
The Features are a Nashville, Tennessee based rock band. The purpose of this Tumblr is to provide a comprehensive and interactive database
of the Features' music. The blog is named after the Features song "The Damage Is Done."
If you would like any of the unreleased songs featured on this site, you can download them yourself or email me for copies. I am not able to send every Features song I own in one go, mainly because I don't have a way of hosting all the files, and I also gotta keep some song tricks up my blog sleeve. Specific song requests are the easiest ones to fulfill. It might take a little while to respond but I will try my best. I will not send songs that have been officially released in any capacity, so buy their albums.
