Another installment of me going on YouTube. Posting on a whim. That’s how I do. Haha.
Anyway, I was on eMusic to see if I could grab the most recent Decemberists’ album and some Nick Cave. I found myself on the Colin Meloy Sings Live! page on eMusic, and noticed a video in which he does ‘The Mariner’s Revenge Song’ alone (w/audience participation).
I would have loved to have been in that audience when that happened! Definitely check out the full studio version when you get the chance. It’s wicked long (about 8 minutes, 45 seconds) but it’s really engaging. The storytelling aspect sucks you in.
This video is Colin Meloy and Ben Gibbard both covering Blur’s “End of a Century.” They almost look alike–so eerie, it’s like they’re nerd twins. Anyway, lovely cover in any case.
