Why Post Covers?

mrfatboy	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 1:46 PM I wonder why indie artist post covers?
torndownunit	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 2:07 PM There is another thread about this. I personally have no idea. I don't think I site that seems to be focused on indie music allows recorded cover songs. Never mind the fact that some artists have 5-6 covers posted an no original material. I am not knocking playing covers live, but I don't get people posting tons of them on here.

Acumen	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 2:30 PM i would do an occasional cover, whether it be an actual song or nintendo music, if I get the erge to make music but got a vicious case of writers block. i don't take them seriously, i just do it for the hell of doing something.

Etheracide	Date: March 8, 2004 @ 8:30 PM We did a cover of the Muppet Baby Theme Song and I initially posted it for a couple of people that seemed interested in listening to it but then a lot of people commented on it so I just haven't taken it down =0)
