Most people do a crap job of recording themselves doing bad covers...this one rocks and the fact its Helium is just that much better. Great job and keep practicing.
well, I was expecting a cover of the old country song "Honeycomb" ("honeycomb, won't you be my baby, honeycomb be my own....etc") but what a pleasant surprise, I had never heard this before and it sounds great! It reminds me a little bit of Mazzy Star (in a good way).....
This is so great to see! You made my week! Helium change my life in 98 when I ditched high school to see them play a few northeast dates. Now I've been a musician in Brooklyn for 8 years - all from the spark I got from this band. To see you cover this song, you are the coolest. Hey, check out Fan Modine's "Slow Road to A Tiny Empire", the Astral Weeks of the 90's. What's Astral Weeks? You'll find out at your pace and probably write a masterpiece yourself. GOOD JOB!!!
Hell Yeah! The next generation lives on! Indie-Rock Forever! I hope you're a Sebadoh fan, listen to Sebadoh III by Sebadoh if not. All the Lou Barlow slow acoustic stuff.
it's okay, but seriously. you cannot be mary timony. just respect what she does and don't recreate what you can't. she's an influence for a reason.

Fucking AWESOME!!! much kudos to you for this!! Helium are amazing.
Not bad cover attempt, just keeping working at it cos you're good enough to get to the level where you can make a go of it as a musician.

Helium & Mary Timony were so great!
Mary usually used an altered tuning for most of her material, which makes it difficult to translate to standard.

you did a good job, and let it be noted that you get points for such a good song selection.

Ash Bowie, bassist extraordinaire!
One of my fave Timony songs (blood tree) was written about you, brother.
