[gonzofury]

tom waits is fantastic, jon brion is great too, you cant compare the two, they are doing different things.

[saladlegs]

[thei3yron]

One of my favorite Jon Brion covers

[bearpickle]

Jon Brion going full retard.

[benmeltzer]

He definitely loves Radiohead -- that I know for sure from a mutual friend who went with him to see a Radiohead show and they were both very excited to see them. And Tom Waits--yes he thinks Tom is a genius too--including him in his medley of great American Music that he performed at one his Largo shows. So he does thik quite highly of both artists. I've also seen hic cover "Creep" in his normal voice, once with Grant-Lee Phillips and once on his own.

[DavidlyMe]

Haha great impersonation.

[madhoneydew]

a mockery of a mockery?

1 star

[delfib]

dave, do you have a clip of the whole song? I have an mp3 of this somewhere and if I remember correctly there was some fancy piano playing that's missing from this (shorter?) version. it'd be nice to see the whole thing if it's out there.

[Stillillgal]

lol

[goodgrief78]

I really can't imagine that Jon Brion isn't a fan of both artists. It has to be said, though, "Creep" is Radiohead's most maudlin song and the stand up piano waltz is Tom Waits's stock in trade. What makes it funny is that it kind of works.

[faidsept]

quite a digression from ur sound tracks big guy

[Jpgr0004]

he's not "making fun of" anyone I don't think. I'm sure he likes both artists. He's just having fun w/ it, in a non-mean spirited way.

[sansiros]

he's makin fun of radiohead.. what an asshole ..he jus jelous..

[ninjaspinster]

Oh my god, I think this might be the best thing I've ever seen on YouTube.

[ALASODIN]

WTF! I love Jon Brion but why is he making fun of Thom Yorke that way.  Man I just lost a ton of respect for Jon Brion.

[KawhackitaRag]

hahaha no no man... it's TOM WAITS he's making fun of, not Thom Yorke.

[gonzofury]

hes not making fun of either, its the ultimate tribute

[ma5t1ka]

@KawhackitaRag if you think he's making fun of tom waits than you should probably shoot yourself

[pashaman1234]

naspa

[Manilash]

ROFL ='P

[creatorofk]

funny and ironic how jonny greenwood of radiohead is scoring paul thomas anderson's new movie, "there will be blood". jon brion has scored all of anderson's movies prior to. i wonder if he'll imitate jon brion's music and make fun of it. hehe

[maddymud]

god, he's got that fake Tom Waits sound nailed ...

[moonlitesymphony]

Hilarioius and amazing at the same time

[lariosn]

Inspiring, greatly done

[iandberg]

Thanks for the post. I was at this concert. I think he was waiting for some stage hands to plug some things in, so he whipped 'creep' out as an interlude.

[ruudopjoetjoeb]

yep awesome!

[darrenspiral]

that was amazing

[ElimRem]
