Probably because he played that song when he was much younger (released in '99) with a band called American Football. I'd say he considers it an insult as much as anything else to be asked to play it solo a decade later.
And yes, you're right, his tuning regiment is awesome.
It is difficult to term any song Mike Kinsella has been involved in making as a "favorite." Everything the man touches is yummy. With accompaniment or alone, he is the most amazing mortal musician alive!
Quite possibly one of my favorite songs ever. Definitely my favorite of his, though "Never Meant" or "The Summer Ends" from American Football are close seconds.
it seems like asking mike kinsella to play never meant would be like asking anthony green to play seven years. get over it

Why doesn't he play it?

Was this the show he was drunk at? If so it doesn't seem to affect the pure genius of his playing at all.

I'm fairly certain that Mike is at least somewhat drunk every show he plays.
