Take a look at some of the clips on Youtube of live performances - in at least one of them, he breaks into this version mid-way through the song, then back into the original.
Thanx for posting this. Great alt version of an already brilliant song. This guy came at the wrong time, the height of the grunge era, and never got the recognition he was due.
I was lucky enough to get a copy of 'Goodfriend' (on tape) in '96 from a Island Records rep (I think her name was Becky/Rebecca) -- completely opened my eyes to the bootleg market, and the awesomesauce that was Matthew Sweet in the '90's. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this. I couldn't believe I couldn't find a good cover of this song. But I found some crappy guiitar hero versions. This alternate version is much better. Where is it from?
Love it!

I much prefer the original version. This one is too laid-back and not agitated enough.
