Don't get me wrong, I really like OK Go, but this wasn't a good cover. Yes, the recording quality is bad, but I just think there were some bad choices made. The Femmes have such a stripped down sound, and this is... well, just heinous. Props to OK Go, though, for even knowing who the Violent Femmes are, and daring to do a cover. Better than covering Ozzy or Motley Crue. :)
It's the recording quality. Watch some other clips, there are a couple better, but all are pretty much distorted to hell. It sucks. Becky// Look into the Zoom Q3 if you are big into shows and recording. It only $200.00 records straight to SD card and can upload right to YouTube with a PC connection. I'm waiting for mine to come in a few days. Peace and thanks. It was work listening to crowd interaction.
@destrada94 - I agree, but at least they tried, I guess. Maybe they could have turned it the gain down a bit on the amps, and used gentler settings. Also, the singing... ugh. Just hard to listen to on this cover. Maybe they can try harder next time??

Great job, Becky! That's some of the best concert footage I've ever seen on here.
