Ben Gibbard - Palmcorder Yajna (Mountain Goats cover)

[@TTripp1]

I LOVE IT! It's really cool to hear this song with Ben Gibbard's voice. Very odd too though, because his voice is very calming and John Darnielle's seems to be a bit more grating which I really like. It's a great cover all the same. I'm happy that he did it.

Phenomenal Cover. Thanks for posting.

Why didn't i go see this in 2007 when i was 6? 6 year old me was so basic.

first comment in 3 years but this still goes hard

[@walruswaspaul123]

@VESSEL1991 It's pretty easy. A-D for the intro then A-E-B-D after that A-E-D-E when it goes to "If anybody comes to see me.." it goes to C#m-D-A. Back to A-E-D-E then A-D for the rest of the song.

WHAT!!!!!! Amazing.

[@GlorialProductions]

..wait..ben gibbard playing mountain goats.. oh my head

[@NaeFace0]

this song is fucking fantasic even better by the mountain goats

[@efieg]

fucking awesome

[@Cloudy3teen]

Wow, great job. Darnielle's songs can be hard to make your own sometimes. Also, way to pull out of messing up after the bridge thing

[@redhot438]

haha, every quote in this thread is stereotypically indie. i love it. now everyone listen to see if zuckerberg, google, or prozac exhales more condescendingly upon reading this.

[@chinolofus]

any bootleg audio recordings of this? i could extract the audio but im lazy.

[@TTripp1]

I like his cover, but it has a very different feeling with Ben Gibbard's voice and lighter guitar playing style than it does with John Darnielle.

[@Smorgasvord]

can someone plzzzzz tell me the chordsto this song plzzz

[@prozacjunkie112]

I'm guessing this is one of those "I'm more indie rock than you and here's why" moments

[@xfactor5492]

i like this version better than the original : O

[@efieg]

why would i?

[@sfrussell999]

You're joking right?

[@aaronabubo]

who the hell are the mountain goats?

[@MajestySnowbird]

Yes, I have a pretty good one. Message me, we'll see what we can do.

[@aaronabubo]

perhaps... but also a fairly obvious one.

[@aaronabubo]

yeah... it was a joke.

[@ScottfromBKLYN]

This is very good...but he should have tried to maintain what JD did with his vocals...the way the song is originally sung conjures the feelings of being a meth head... I would love to see Gibbard do some of the more less "frantic" songs, like Game Shows That Touch Our Lives, Old College Try, or something from The Sunset Tree

[@goingtoscotland]

good cover, surprisingly. but, ben, please concentrate more on a NEW POSTAL SERVICE ALBUM!

[@milaplausos]

I have to agree with those with the sentiment that he doesn't do this song any justice. His rendition is bland and boring.

[@deadwolfbones]

he somehow makes it just as bland and inoffensive as his own songs. blargh.
