If you think this cover is good, you need to hear the original; I agree with espartico, this version is nowhere near the original...I realize cover songs need to have their own life too, but there is nothing here worth listening to. I have listened to a lot of stuff by this band, and admit I just don't get it. For them to try and cover a mats song...and sound so flat in doing so...only confirms my opinion.
Actually this isn't an indie song at all. Was on Pleased to Meet Me, their second album on Sire(warner subsidiary). Indie didn't apply to bands of their era, these
were "college rock" bands. College rock stations were the only outlets to hear great
bands like the Mats, Husker Du, Sonic Youth and the list goes on.
@47bass47 You realize that this is a song by The Replacements, and is one of the most famous songs in indie rock history, a song that shaped a generation, right? You can find the lyrics and tab on hundreds of websites.
Cough ALL of the versions by the replacements and even westerbergs makes this seem like a peasants thrash

check out Justin Townes Earle cover version on youtube. Can't explain why but does the song more honour than this version.

@espartico Band of Horses usually doesn't try to capture the emotion of the originals, i think. They do their own interpretation.
