Okay, so I did a cover of Dorian Finch’s amazing new song.

She sings really fast and it’s hard for me to keep up but I gave it a try! Ah, I want to rerecord it at some point. It’s pretty sloppy and my voice is asdkjhdskhj as always but this is legitimately one of the funnest songs to play.

So this is my friend Danielle and I drunkenly covering Love Will Fuck Us Apart by Andrew Jackson Jihad. We both do our fair share of fumbling and stumbling. I blame the alcohol!

I love this tape recorder so much. Anyways, here’s me singing Ontario off Full Force Galesburg. 

This is probably my favorite tMG ever and I know I can’t do it justice but whatever, I love you John Darnielle.

This is my first ever totally analog recording. I found my dad’s old microcassette recorder from the 80’s and of course it was broken. However, it wasn’t that hard to fix and I got it working! I decided to record a really quick, one take cover of a Why? song. It’s really warbly and muffly.

This is what we’ve been doing in Chicago. Folky covers of really sad pop songs.

Anthony is a way better singer than me.

Okay so this is pretty crazy. This song was played on FM RADIO in Wichita, Kansas multiple times. WHAT?! SDOFJSDOFIJASOFIHASGOIH. Amazing.

Okay, I just recorded another tMG cover. It’s If You See Light off of Get Lonely. This is probably my favorite song from that album and I know I could never really do it justice. Well anyways, check it out! I folked it out, I guess. I wish I didn’t run out of tracks on my recorder though, I would have added another instrument or two. Oh wells.

Okay, I recorded a quick cover of Against Pollution off We Shall All Be Healed. I guess it’s a bit different than the original. Vocals are dsafkljhfd as always. It does utilize banjo, though, which some may think is cool.

Gah, the original version of this song is so awesome. It’s got a feel that no other tMG song has.

The Mountain Goats cover #9

I haven’t done a tMG cover in a while so here’s me playing one of my all time favorite songs by them, Going to Maryland. (MARYLAND IS P COOL) I’m using my new portable recording device!

I’m posting this pretty late so no one is going to see it which is probably a good thing.
