AntiFolk Overdose

[butterflypiano]

Wow wow wow... I think, besides of Regina Spektor's "Chemo Limo" this is my favourite Anti-Folk / Freak-Folk song. Awesome, awesome, freaking awesome...

[imamacyoureapc]

@butterflypiano I think if folk music is just a form of people expressing regular everyday experiences and emotions then both Dianne and Jeff are just plain 'folk' :D. Though I like the sound of 'freak-folk' haha

[butterflypiano]

@imamacyoureapc Yeah, they absolutely do, but - excuse this primitive question :) - isn't it what people call "freaky"? Jeff singing a disharmonic tune to his chords; the artists "drawing" absurd pictures in your mind with the lyrics; the surprising end (...and that's the life for us)... maybe it's just a question of your or my view to it, but to me "Travel Light" definitely isn't regular plain folk. Besides of all that - "freak-folk" is a word I actually created to explain my own sings :D xD

jo regan loves this! yay xoxoXoOoXoxox

[friedaflysaspaceship]

OMG! thanks for uploading this!! been looking for the original for ages!! is it on any of Jeffrey Lewis' albums? ive got two but is not on them... again, THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!! :)

[petercarbopivoter]

i respect how laura sang in like diane, i mean i know you hear about people making songs their own but it shows she's a real fan of the song.

[jubilaz]

Such a great song. This is so much better than Flynn and Marling's version. No contest.

[EarlyBizrd]

@jubilaz not to hate on laura and johnny but this version is supercalifragilisticexpialidoc­ious!!!

[amelephant]

both are great. pity whistling is always rubbish.

[rachielofi]

juat a shame laura marling and johnny flynn had to even do their version

[catcoy]

thanks for uploading, havent heard the original in a while!

[madmaninthemirror]

it's a beautiful song, a shame neither of them can sing the high bits

[mazza20007]

oh my gosh lauras voice is so similar!!!!

[CoyoteSummer]

when i was a record store i didn't have the blues :)

[ThadleyProductions]

Where might I download this lovely song? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

[imamacyoureapc]

I think there is a program on the internet somewhere that rips MP3s from youtube videos, have a surf about in google :). I would upload it to megaupload or whatever but I've lost the mp3 also, sigh haha.

[NeedleInTheHay1990]

@imamacyoureapc Zamzar.com has never failed me :)

[bobjohnson513]

@imamacyoureapc

vidtomp3 dot com. It's pretty temperamental and there's a million pop-up ads, but it works...most of the time. Don't even mess around with the standard quality. It always leads me to an error page.

[beefygreenapples]

@ThadleyProductions just copy the video link into dirpy(dot)com

[heathercarle]

@ThadleyProductions there's a site i love called vidtomp3.com where you can rip youtube videos. enjoy! :)

[FlorisBarnhoorn]

Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling are definitly better, but nice lyrics...

[VentraleStar]

@FlorisBarnhoorn I agree. They made it very well.

[awine889]

I really like this song, but Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn did an amazing cover. I think Laura and Johnny are just better singers plain and simple.

[nihilistichick]

dianes voice is unreal.

[EGodsgal]

oh my goodness...thank Goodness for this post! I have been looking for this for forever and a day!! it's lovely.

[TheEvilKiwiBeast]

sounds like summin off juno

[00shaun00]

this is probably the greatest love song for me. wonderful!

[wartree]

this is not a love song

[00shaun00]

explain? i quite like the idea of it being a love song, these two characters in the song have love for each other and love for a way of living. not that it makes any difference in what you call it. but it's partly about these two people with the same ideas coming together. is more of a love song than most anything esle i know. I can understand its about a lot more than that and I enjoy lots of things about it

[MamaBueno138]

anti-folk <3

[jibberjabberjoodrops]

both versions are brilliant, i'm a fan of all four of them. :)

[musicphantom13]

nope this is better than the cover. they didn't even do anything original in the cover version; they tried to sound exactly like jeff and diane.

[cameradiary]

i actually love LM/JF version just as much as jeffrey lewis' and cluck's original.

considering im a fan of all four

and i love jeffrey's illustrations

[philipknowles1]

Thanks for posting. I heard the cover and looked for this for ages. It didn't help that I thought Laura Marling said Diane Clark! Search for ages before I figured that one out. Just got one of her albums in the post to day. Sounds great.

[xflashahh]

um. i love the song but i think johnny and laura do it better.. possibly because it's more melodic.

[x0xLolly]

Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling are SO much better

[yerdadnyermam]

no there not

[giantlawnmower]

Thank you so much! Been looking for this forever...

[linnch6505]

[fabittyfab]

is there any way you could provide a link to download this song?

I would be eternally grateful, really. :)

[FloraTheExplorer123]

I Love This

Laura Marling's Cover Is Just As Good

[tom9987]

on second thuoghts, i really dislike this version.

[tom9987]

i prefer the LM/JF version simply because i heard it first, but i like the english accents on it also. i like this one too thouhg :)

[joanneheartsstrokes]

[faithinmyface]

[shebungle]

wow, laura marling sounds so much like diane cluck!

[VannNique]

I agree.

[tom9987]
