I think part of it, for me, is that our playlist at work is full of covers. New artists doing old songs. Which is great, usually, except I never know what any of them are because the music thing is way in the back, and I can't just run back there to check it when I'm the only one on the floor.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Since I did a whole playlist of covers for February (called "Groundhog Day"), I have a bunch. I sent a few to B'Rawk.
For an arabic twist, there's Natacha Atlas singing "Ne me quitte pas" and Rachid Taha (at Stern Grove next week) doing "Rock el Casbah".
Also, two standards ("Ain't No Sunshine" and "Summertime") by the punk cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Literally, or metaphorically?

Yes
Well, that's certainly a novel way to beat the big labels. How many albums can she have at a time?
