When I put out a record I don't really like to do covers…

“When I put out a record I don't really like to do covers as much, but I don't mind playing them. I do them mostly for my friends. When a friend's like, 'Man I really like that song,' I go 'hahaha' and I go home and I record it.” quote by Samuel Ervin Beam
