So I went looking. Of course there's lots of sub-par stuff out there, but I tried to weed those out. Here are some initial findings: forget the flowers Laminated Cat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The Swedish cover of "Jesus, Etc." is great, although the overall vibe of the video looks more well-suited for a funeral. Now, switching gears, this is beyond adorable: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shoesgetcold3 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound just got themselves a new fan. And with their next two performances at Pritzker and the Hideout, count me in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Jesus, etc. in Swedish easily rivals Wilco's. Depending on the day...better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What does that mean? Interesting use of a guitar lick during a solo from "At Least That's What You Said." Like the voice, could probably do without the violin, or at least used in smaller doses throughout the track. Overall, a pretty good take on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what would happen if Sigur Ros and Wilco worked together? I can imagine the beauty of a Wilco song sung in "Hopelantic" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
