Video Comparison #4

The National - Slow Show. It's an awesome tune when played by talented musicians.



Now this stinky self-indulgent whore plays one of the worst covers I have ever heard. Her verbal diarrhea at the beginning makes me nauseous. Then she comes in with this half assed folky shit storm. She definitely makes me the most furious but I still can't help to laugh at her.

Video Comparison #3

I'm not sure why I search for videos on YouTube from artists that I love. I always find myself clicking on jerks attempting to cover the songs I think are wonderful. I guess this is my way of venting frustration and exposing these douchebags.

The first song is by one of my new favorite artists named Bon Iver. Now, he doesn't have a music video so I picked a "video" on there that had the studio recording. Here it is.



I'm trying to figure out why this kid decided to cover this song that I think is difficult, vocally. The guitar isn't too difficult. Not only does this guy totally screw the guitar up but he also has to read the lyrics to his left. However, he does have a lovely voice. I'm sure there will be more terrible covers when Bon Iver becomes more popular, but this will have to do for now.

Video Comparison #2

This is the second installment in covers of songs I enjoy by people that shouldn't be allowed to put their videos on YouTube. But since they did, I reserve all right to make fun of them.

This a video by Brett Dennen titled "Ain't No Reason" and I really enjoy this song and his entire album. Here is his video:






Now here is Pritish, a 20 year old who lives in Bombay. And no that's not a racist joke because he's Indian. He actually lives there. He adds a little bit of his own to this cover: his lisp.

TCBY visit

I went to get my usual at TCBY the other day, which is a regular White Chocolate Mousse topped with Heath Bar, and noticed a bizarre topping I had never seen before. I asked the young frozen yogurt slinger as simple question, "Are those Fruity Pebbles?" He quickly responded, "Yes." I also noticed they weren't in one of the stock metal topping holders that go below the metal surface. These pebbles were in a Styrofoam container. I then realized this pot-smoking frozen yogurt server was just using his Fruity Pebbles from home so that everyone would know how truly good it is on all flavors of the frozen delight. He was just being nice. I then ordered "white chocolate mouse with heath bar" just to see the confusion on his face. Then when he explains it's mousse, I tell him, "No, sir. There is a 'u' in the word it's obviously pronounced 'mouse'." I don't know why I think it's funny, but it gets me every time. I even do it if no one is around.
