09 Two Headed Boy - Jesse Lacey

[TiNaBLink]

OH MY GOD! how did I not know that this existed???

I love NMH. awesome. Love love love, Jesse Lacey.

[domnomnom1]

2:30 just incase you want to skip the talking. But who would want to skip Jesse talking?

[Thatquietchick08]

I love the look in his eyes, he looks so happy singing this song.

[rockrgirl01]

If I was there I would have sung along the whole time. ^_^

[SeanTMonty]

lol

chick: "I LOVE YOU"

Jesse Lacey: "I appreciate you"

[foxkrosa]

@SeanTMonty she said "i appreciate you" also. she was making a dopey reference to Mixtape

[domnomnom1]

"JESSE PLAY THAT SONG ABOUT 7S :D"

Shut up.

[athenawp]

I want that shirt…love it!

[noiseandxxkisses]

i think i can die happy now. amazing.

[wmotamedi]

I am an advocate for school shootings after seeing this. Brand New deserves a lot better than that. It's not like you need to be completely silent, because it's exciting seeing your idol onstage in front of you. I can understand cheering and having fun. But damn, it gets ridiculous when you shout something obnoxious every fifteen seconds.

So take your daily dose of "shut the fuck up pills" and call it a day.

[wmotamedi]

This is absolutely unbelievable. I would be ashamed to have fans like that. It's like those brats just got out of high school drama class and bring their shit manners to an acoustic Jesse Lacey show.

[SeanTMonty]

crowd are really disrespectful

[gutstotake]

HAHAHA the crowd is so eager to show that they read a Pitchfork article about NMH, but they only know the first three words...Frat boy chumps and sorority bitches.

[thychaos]

@gutstotake lol doubt those kinds of people would be at this kind of show.

[gutstotake]

Crowd are a bunch of shitheads.

[jamesman74]

5:00 holy shit

[jamesman74]

i love how the crowd only knows the first 3 words of the song

[afatalflatline1]

I don't think anyone can pull of a Neutral Milk song, I don't care how "good" you are.

[scrumpyJ5]

He's SO not a rockstar :) which is great. He doesn't throw in any unnecessary swearing, he's just polite, modest and genuine. An inspiration.

[nr2237]

I keep trying to learn this song but I cant get the strumming right (pathetic right?) but anyway this song is awesome

[TheDonnyJay]

I love how the crowd goes mental at the mention of Neutral Milk Hotel.

[fourstring182]

He's making love to that microphone.

[McDaniellie]

I love this.

It's brilliant.

[dogout43]

What is that guy yelling out at 2:11?

[damianisold]

@dogout43 He shouts Bukowski, a song by Modest Mouse.

[NACC09]

@dogout43 He yelled "Bukowski." Its a Modest Mouse song.

[Knightimehero]

@NACC09 Also a poet, Charles Bukowski.

[GB4ManU7fan]

2:14 jesse is thinking "show business blows,..."

Im thinking strangle that kid.

[theeagle50]

i love him so much

[bdom479]

I APPRECIATE BRAND NEW

[RememberAlicia]

@bdom479 My name is also bdom479 and I appreciate you Brand New.

[rissa8592]

so...i kind of cried...just a little....i hope brand new isn't joining neutral milk hotel in their musical limbo of silence

[johnmorisi8]

@rissa8592

i was thinking that today. but sadly, i think they will... all signs point to that.

[misssomething]

@johnmorisi8 On April 26, Lacey announced at their Baltimore show that they have been writing material but have had difficulties as they are "tired of bumming you guys out. We’re trying to write something happy."

[LittleMissMoose]

@misssomething OHHH MY GOD

[boxellmark27]

Music was never meant to be a competition. I don't see why everyone compares the two. It's not as if either would care.

[FlaminFingaz]

God, Neutral Milk Hotel Covers are basically IMPOSSIBLE. I liked this, "mistakes" and all. I think Jeff would appreciate the fact that A) he's even trying it and B) he's so inspired by his music. But I don't want to assume anything.

[nevin540]

Goddamn this is powerful

[star0dreamer]

are you serious. Jesse is amazing at covers, anyone who doesn't agree can get out.

[johnbbolton]

he's so stupid.... he started everything one measure or a verse early

[dishler712]

I think his Oh Comely covers are even better.

[skrotomon]

@dishler712 LOL

[paranoid711]

Mangum > Lacey,

Fact.

[2nose919]

@paranoid711 double fact

[Swiftlygothedays]

I didn't think it was possible to fall even more in love his Jesse Lacey's music. One of the few people who can do NMH song just right. He does the works of Jeff Mangum justice.

[xia0me1mei]

jesse lacey is a god

[rodigo1]

props to him for not going apeshit on that dumbass crowd

[lovelikewinter7634]

He has nice teeth. Yeah I said it. That is all. Ha.

[N1NTHW9RD]

i wish more artists played with the same passion that jesse and jeff mangum do...

[VanHalen010]

hahaha

[Swiftlygothedays]

OH MY GOD. NMH cover by Jesse...I fainted..kinda.

[CopyrightEmily]

bad. ass.

[hollym0rgan]

I love how Jesse is pretty much smiling the whole time he is singing this....melts my heart.

[jmbretter]

not too terrible. I'm usually VERY against NMH covers.

[johnnysim1985]

goddamn the crowd is annoying

[Haku548]

FUCK YEAH JESSE LACEY COVERING NMH

[pancaketray]

Haha, I love the dude who says "Hes Jesse Lacey, He can do what he wants" Haha. So true. Makes me smile :)

[ALEXAHHHHHHHH]

Are you kidding, Jesse Lacey does this song fantastically, and I'm a huge NMH fan. HE covers this solidly

[TehCheezBoi]

He really does this song justice, NMH and Jessey Lacey FTW!

[rompo420247]

sorry, i'm just not into it. i appreciate the effort on this dudes part but it just isn't that...good.

[brianjaymchugh]

who the fuck is this asshole?

[lifeisublime]

who the fuck is this asshole who thinks he can call jesse lacey and asshole? go die.

[CRCody]

jesse fucking lacey, you asshole

[steve0619]

fuckyou

[CRCody]

hey, screw you

[theredneck3]

I love Brand New...

There needs to be a Brand New, Neutral Milk Hotel, Kevin Devine, Manchester Orchestra music festival.  I would do anything for that

[shaunwhitelove]

but it has to be in memorial of elliott smith. then it would be absolutely perfect.

[lifeisublime]

"but i did already tell you i would, so thats enough, i wasnt lieing to you man."

god this whole video made me smile so much :D 5 starred

[roaringdude]

he got the strumming pattern wrong...

[lifeisublime]

hes jesse fucking lacey, he'll do as he pleases

[possiblySammm]

He changed the strumming pattern for a cover? For a cover? What the fuck is this outrage?! In covers, changes should be appreciated not scorned.

[gohesh]

would you rather he do a carbon copy of the song? the reason for covers is to take a song and put your own spin on it

[gorhamics]

This is great. Thank you.

[brighterwest]

jesse lacey awesome

two headed boy awesome

jesse lacey singing two headed boy super awesome

[sane182]

Awesome Squared!

[aabcdefghijake]

Demitri Martin=LAME

[brighterwest]

lol thats funny because i have been trying to remember where i had heard that... thanks

[alexohso1337]

it's crazy awesome actually.

/fanboy

[CainShankedAbel]

Best of all is the fact is Jesse really looks like he's genuinely enjoying himself up there. True artist.

[danorama]

i love this man.

[CainShankedAbel]

It's amazing really to see Jesse Lacey, a man who, in my opinion, has been one of the greatest songwriters in awhile still pay homage to bands like Neutral Milk Hotel and Modest Mouse. It just speaks to how down to earth he really seems to be.

[xXnewbiexninjaXx]

Agreed, no other band plays as many good covers or does as many acoustic sets as BN or even Jesse Lacey on his own. BN can put on an amazing acoustic set.
