still cannot understand for the life of me this enduring fascination with cover music/bands. surely a musical-creative equivalent of 'sarcasm is the lowest form of wit'.
having said that, an underground rock impresario covering burt bacharach songs, enlisting a number of his japanese musician friends in the endeavour, is pretty witty in-itself ...

some people find karaoke fun i guess? tv talent show regularly features cover artists with judges dropping their jaw at the first syllable of a michael jackson impression. not my thing, but doesn't have to be.
actually sounds cool on the 1770s when it gets active. i need more flacsuziq wrote:
well yeah, obviously i know a thing or two about the allures of karaoke. but that involves copious amounts of drink, and doing the singing yourself. plus the possibility of a handjob from a hostess at the end of it, depending on the venue.
listening to cover bands when the real recordings are right there isn't really the same thing, though. some covers are 'creative reinterpretations', i'll grant you, and i can see the merit in covering a 'standard' tune and partaking in a sort of tradition or lineage (a la jazz or chanson); but still.
