  • Katherine.. You are fantastic.

  • Burger bar...is what it should be called

  • I love Rancid! :D this was awesome!

  • I love the Narnia map in the background!! We have that map in my house too :)

  • Whoa, I can totally see part of where "This Machine Pwns N00bs" is written on Hank's guitar in pencil or something! Also, Katherine, this is great! :)

  • Katherine, you are amazing.

  • I honestly think you have one of the best voices for Carter Family-Style songs I've heard from someone OTHER than the Carter Family. Real sincere and authentic quality to it. Apart from "Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone" (from your pants), I'd quite like to hear you do more stuff in that style, if you have the time and inclination.

  • Katherine, you should start making videos again. I love your voice.

  • you are awesome. love your version as well as Rancids.

  • ma cos'eeeeeeeeee

  • your harmonies are beautiful. wow :)

  • Hank needs to get this song on an album too! Great job The Katherine. Next time I'm home in Missoula you should do like Hank years ago and do a live set of your own at Bayern Brewing...so what that it's a tiny place...so what that you have no idea who I am...I am going to write to you as if we're old friends...because it's the internet. Hey, congrats on the master degree by the way!

  • Great job.

  • Do you think you will come out with an album any time soon?

  • beautiful cover :)

  • Amazing! This is fantastic Katherine! You are such a Nerdfighter!

  • I <3 the Katherine! She is so frikin cool!

  • This is lovely! An awesome cover of a great song. Katherine, you are punk as folk.

  • you remind me of my science teacher.

  • THE KATHERINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • not alot of songs can make me cry

    and her voice ALWAYS get's me teary eyed. it's FRIKKEN beautiful

  • Dear Ms. The Katherine,

    You are a absolutely fantastic vocalist. I love your tone quality, and you never cease to amaze me.

    -J

  • nice video! I live in Olympia WA lol

  • You guys are so awesome I can't even stand it! <3

  • This song is like peace in a bottle, now all I want to do is play it to the world and watch as everyone has a world-wide tea party... :)

  • this is so stuck in my head now.

  • Hey, look! An Abundance of Katherines! Singing harmonies X3

  • you raped this song.. seriously :D and i just can't keep my cool when you appear in 3 different screens simultaneously.

  • you should sing country.. let the punks do the punk rock :D

  • awesome!!

  • Oh Olympia, how I love thee.

  • YOU ARE AMAZING :D

  • GREAT SONG....i can't imagine a cover like this...you sing wondefully! THANK YOU for this 4 minutes

  • I'm in lesbians with you.

  • @robinjoanna scott pilgim reference!!!!!!!

  • I really don't care much for Rancid but I absolutely adore this cover. Your voice is gorgeous. Wonderful!

  • Excuse me but could you please make some more videos PLEASE!!!!! I only discovered your channel today because I've been going through all of the old vlogbrothers videos and came across the one where Hank mentions your channel and I think you should make more videos please

    BTW your a really good singer

  • This is gorgeous! You did a great job!

  • I work at five guys!!! The food is SO amazing, and I will never get sick of it :D and you're supposed to get that many fries. they tell us that if we don't get any complaints about the amount of them, we're not giving enough. Yeah. however, it is awesome :D

  • I love this so much,

  • Oh wow The Katherine can sing!!! I doubt you'll read this but I recently started going through all of the vlogbrothers vids and came across the one where he mentioned this. I am so glad I watched it, you and The Yeti and Hank and John are great and it is wonderful to be part of your lives, even if only looking in though this screen.

  • rly beautifull

  • Comment removed

  • This cover was fu**in beautiful. Nothin but respect for your homage to the EastBayRats. Some cats just can't hear the melody or feel the depth in Armstrong's lyrics and it really pisses me off sometimes. I'm always trying to turn people on to some different music, or perspectives that possess an honest testimony from the gutterz about how the world truly is.

    Your jam will help open a lot of mental doors for people that've built their entire judgment of life, through ignorance.

    -gutterpunx4life

  • Katherine, I've never heard this song before but I like it a lot.

    I agree with everyone else, you're awesome in general. With the hat you look like my friend Kat. ...well, she's a Kathleen, not a Katherine, but still. :D

    And I've never had Five Guys even though there's like three of them where I live...

  • @PhantomoftheForum ---Phantom, you should totally check out some of the acoustic Rancid tunes off of "Let the Dominoes Fall": disc #2. The fella that wrote Olympia, Tim Armstrong, has been writin' some killer music for more than 25 years startin w Operation Ivy waaaaay back in the day! One of my more recent favorites, "Arrested in Shang Hai". Also check out any one of the videos from, "A Poets Life", on youtube.

  • Everything about this video is down right beautiful. It made me really happy.. really needed a pick me up. So, thank you so much for that. :D

    Five guys is freaking amazing. They are just as good as when they were a little hole-in-the wall here in Arlington. ^-^ ...damn now I really want some xD

  • AHHH FIVE GUYS FREAKING OWNS!!!

  • I FREAKING LOVE FIVE GUYS !!!!!!! MY DAD WORKS LIKE RIGHT CLOSE TO IT AND HE TOOK US AND EVEN THOUGH YOU CANT HERE MY TALK I SHOULD REALLY BREATHE RIGHT NOW I AM HAVING A SPAZZ ATTACK BECAUSE I AM SO FREAKING TIRED OF WRITING THIS STUPID RESEARCH PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • amazing harmonies.

    so wonderful. :D

  • You can see the first outline of This Machine Pwns N00bs on Hank's guitar in this video. That's awesome.

  • I liked this a lot.

    And, on an only slightly related note, attempting to imitate Tim Armstrong's voice in an exaggerated and comical style is possibly one of the most fun things to do evar. You should try it.

  • My god, one of my favourite songs ever, and i really LOVE the feeling of your cover. Congrats!

  • @mi73 hey thanks! i'm glad you like it

  • omg Five Guys is CRACK!!!!!!

  • I have played the video many times now and have not tired of it. I really enjoy the sound. Thanks.

  • It's a shame that you haven't uploaded in a while. I only hope that you will upload more soon.

  • Extreme jealousy over Narnia map...

  • WOW! I love this 437249382 times more than the original song!!

  • I've always liked imagining what this song would sound like as a sort of mellow acoustic song. It really does sound good. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs and you did an excellent job on this cover.

  • Love it, love it, LOVE IT.

    Great vocals, cool chorus combo.

    This song is beautful, as opposed to ass-kicking, stripped down.

    It just goes to show you, a great is a great song. PERIOD!

    Nice job, guys.

  • i love this!!! i found a chick on archive.org doing a jazzy piano cover of ruby soho that was kick ass too. you should try to cover memphis. i think you could really stick it.

  • I keep coming back to this song... I really like it a lot!

    As everyone else... More covers please!

  • Can we get a download link?

  • She sings so pretty! >||< (that is the nerdfighters symbol)

  • jajajajajajajaja whaaathaaa!!

  • I can't stop listening to this! You and this song are epic!!!

  • This is one of my all time favourite songs, you have done it justice!

  • damn ,.. u are a singer lady .. thumb up !

  • this was a cool cover cant wait for more!!!

  • i always find it weird when songs reference intersections in New York City and I can picture exactly where they're talking about...

  • can I download an mp3

  • OH MYGOSHH. This is a wonderful cover. And amazing harmonies. And Five Guys is the shittttt.

  • Im sorry but this isn't for a women to sing this is too smooth and high there should be a lot more enthusiasm, its like something is holding you back from shouting it out; which i and a lot more proper punks would like. Really good effort though and editing was brilliant.

  • I like it :D excellent voice :)

  • cool what you did with this. enjoyed it :)

  • Katherine, you should come out with your OWN album, 'cause, gosh . . . you're wonderful (and very pretty)!

  • That was beautiful! You have such a pretty voice. I love how you did the harmonies.

  • Aurora screen saver ftw

  • Beautiful harmonies and vocal colors.

  • the reason shes talking at the end is cause shes a woman. and thats what women do. talk. for no reason

  • happy late bday

  • nice job on this song its great, i love this album

  • First of all, more covers need to be made, because this video freaking rocks.

    Second, one thing that I love about this video is that if you look really closely at Hank's guitar, you can see the outline of what would eventually be painted in as "This Machine Pwns Noobs." It's like some kind of Nerdfightastic foreshadowing.

  • What a great cover... The whole point of a cover is to put your spin on it.

  • OMG this is beautiful! I always love it when Katherine does stuff with Hank cuz her voice is so soothing and beautiful! I wanna hear more!

  • Have you ever thought of releasing an album? You have a lovely voice. :)

  • pretty gosh darn awesome.

  • I cannot get this song out of my head. It is FANTASTIC. Please make more!

  • I miss your videos. You should mak more.

  • I can't believe the Rancid version isn't the cover.

  • nice work. i love this tune. your version shows how elegant the structure is below the punk aggression.

  • Everyday I Love Nerdfightieria more and more.. AHH DFTBA!!!

  • i lovelovelove youuuu:]

  • DFTBA Katherine :D

  • i don't think Katherine can ever FTBA. it's just not possible.

  • I find myself immensely attracted to this woman. Damn you monogamy!

  • And then she sang the harmonies and the world rejoiced. :)

  • the narnia map is back!!

  • He he he an abundance of Katherines.

  • Yay for singing from the Katherine! I have to agree with Hank - the harmonies are epic.

  • :DDD Amazing. Btw, Narnia Map = EPIC WIN (:

  • So pretty! I loved this song before, but I may love it a tad more in this moment =)

  • AMAZING!!

  • is that Joan Baez, lol! Isnt this by Nofx?

  • what?! Rancid wrote this song and it was on their breakout album of the 90's. NOFX didn't cover it until 2003.

  • @elfkwest Amazing cover! Much better than NOFX's =P

    Is this on iTunes?

  • @antifascistmilitant no. Nofx covered it on their crossover album, where rancid also covered Nofx songs

  • @antifascistmilitant "Hangin' out with Lars down on 6th street"

    Lars from Rancid, there is a Lars on NoFX ?

  • @lavaganciasabe

    So I'm not allowed to ask such a question? Anyways u don't have to be in rancid to be hangin out with Lars on 6th st. Don't be a dick....

  • nice narnia map behind you =]

  • The katherine your singing can only be described as awesome :)

  • everyone else has said that you have a beautiful voice (truth) or that the harmonies were great (fact) or that this is a great cover (mmhmm, yeah) or that you should post more videos of you singing/doing covers (I concur)...

    So I'm just going to say...

    I like your hat.

  • @fyiagcg I agree with everything you just said (especially the hat)

  • I like your voice.

  • lets see more covers from u, but less talkin shit! lol

  • yeah i should split up the singing and talking

  • katherine, i just need to tell you how much i adore this... i'm a graduate assistant and i was grading papers the other day, and in between thoughts of APA style and "did you even read the syllabus?", i had your version of this song stuck in my head! made the day go by much faster and continues to make me happy every single time i hear it! keep it up!

  • Beautifully done!!!!

  • I just had to come back and listen to this again! It's so awesome!!! DFTBA!!!

  • That was beautiful! Thanks for letting us listen!

  • Katherine, you have such a beautiful singing voice.

  • not rockin but still a good cover

    nice SCA shirt

  • Man, I really miss Olympia now. Great cover.

  • Sounds wonderful. : )

  • Oooh That's good!

  • I highly enjoyed that. :)

    and Rancid is one of my favorite bands also.

  • 5 Star for n00bs! :-D

  • Yay Katherine!

  • hehe you can see the outline of NOOBS on hank's guitar

  • Nice one! Can you tell me please how did you synchronise the differnent singing parts?

  • Colour me impressed. I was a little nervous when clicking this link that Hank was perhaps a little partial when he said you were awesome, but I'll back him. This is great!

  • The lyrics really are beautiful in a raw and sorrowful way

  • its like, an abundance of Katherines!

  • Word.

  • @xconcreterainxx So! Many Katherines! Lol!!

  • hey! you're pretty. nice duo effort guys

  • Okay. That was just amazing. I will buy your album and tell all my friends. A whole album like this would make my day and year and more. Thanks for a wonderul song.

  • Rancid ftw

  • brilliant voice! LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

  • Love the Narnia map. Your voice is amazing ^-^

  • Rancid is my favorite band ever. Katherine, I love this cover. (:

  • Looks like someone RFTBA.

  • i don't know if this is a complement or not...

  • i dont know. but i think its great. harmonizing isnt easy and you made it sound beautiful. very impressive

    from one aspiring musician to another :)

    DFTBA!

  • @elfkwest Well.. It is either Rarely Forgets to be Awesome, or Really Forgot to be Awesome. In my opinion, its Rarely

  • @elfkwest RFTBA seems to mean "Really Forgot To Be Awesome", which is both an insult and not true. But it could also be "Rarely Forgets To Be Awesome", which is a compliment and is true. Dude, callmesuspect, explain yourself!

  • @callmesuspect remembered forgot to be awesome??

  • You're as awesome as that map of Narnia in the background! :D

  • Awesome harmonies. Linked in from Hank's video...and something about this video totally made me jump up and down and squeal...

    ...you're wearing an SCA shirt.

    Huzzah!!!!!

  • The Katherine is a bit country

  • Yes.

  • Amazing job! But I want to know where the heck you got that Narnia poster!

  • HO LY SHIT! So, the first time I watched this video, I just listened to the song. THIS time I watched it from beginning to end and, MY GOD... I know what you're talking about. This summer, we went to Otakon in Baltimore Maryland and went to get Burgers at Five Guys. We ordered two large fries thinking they'd be normal size. They gave us to big cups of fries. So yes, If you love burgers and you see Five Guys, GO IN THERE. Best burger... ever... I love Baltimore... ♥

  • Something I feel I could never do.......it wouyld take too long to do the harmonies

  • Wow, impressive...

  • your cover is wicked i cant stop listening to it =)

  • Is Hank single?

  • Katherine's his wife.

  • WOAH

    ~!

  • I've been to Olympia way to many times. xD

  • i hae olympia....almost as much as beaverton....

  • Beautiful. :D

  • i'm loving the poster of narnia in the background.

  • 5 guys? I've been there! it's good!

  • MORE VIDEOS! also vlogs and stuff

  • Very cool Katherine and Hank. You totally owned this song...

  • Loved it. :)

  • I'm just curious - do you just 'hear' all those parts without trying to? Or did you have to learn them?

  • i just came up with them out of nowhere... i don't know how to do it properly.

  • Gosh - I would love to be able to just know a harmony like that... quite a gift. I play two different instruments, (have for 25 years now) and I could not make up two different harmony lines like that out of the blue. Maybe one - if it's fairly simple and I've heard it before but not two that are original. Lucky lucky you to have such an ability! Enjoy it!

  • You totally deserve your mastery of science/awesome.

    I'm so glad I found hank, and that I find about him and you and his brother and all the nerdfighterlike that goes on.

    You guys rock.

  • KATHERINE

  • can she have her own weekly vlog

    i thing she needs one

  • Katherine tht is amazing! great idea with the harmonies XD

  • Wow, this is good, very good. Excellent job, Katherine :)

    -Julian

  • nice harmony

  • narnia map in back <3
