Oh, the swords Kurt twirls are just perfect. They give him weapons! During a performance emphasizing his difference! Because it is that utter embracing of what makes him different that makes him powerful.

Also, Chris Colfer looks hot with swords.

Anyone else thrilled that they gave an explanation for Tina's disappearance?

0:27 Coy John! Sigh...

@darkxmoonxlily You are the first one to recognize that. Awards for you.

@Lilreddysteady Things wrong with that:

1) "Eff all this hipster faggotry" Not cool. People have a right to love whomever they want. The use of anti-gay slurs is hateful and hurtful.John Darnielle would not approve.

2) "...Your absolutely-fucking-destroyed heart...made you remember this song... ...

So you can never get to the doorway? But the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you and that you're standing in the doorway!

This works with album titles, too! The Life of the World to Come in Your Pants, anyone?

I played 20 Questions music thinking of the Mountain Goats, and one of the questions was, " Do you have children?" Obviously, the Mountain Goats have No Children. But holy crap, it guessed correctly. The only entity that's heard of them besides my eighth grade English teacher!

Well, here it is. Undeniable proof that John Darnielle is the most perfect human being that ever humanned.

@ImNoJadedImsoniac I do in fact realize that the song is about religious fanatics. What so offends my lyrical sensibilities is that in place of insightful and original lyrics, phrases that have a vague association with religion are pushed into the song in the hopes of sounding profound. Religion ...

'"The next time you say forever, I will punch you in your face." The specificity makes this song.

@RIbbwichful Actually, he adopted the name the Mountain Goats to distance himself from his work. In interviews, he has said that as he is a singer-songwriter, there is an expectation of all "confessional" songs that are autobiographical. (Of course, it is rare for him to write such songs.) If the...

Trite. Of all the songs I've heard about cancer, this is my least favorite. Granted, I've only heard two. But I liked the other one better.

Ah, shiny pop sensibilities and bright-eyed earnestness. Phew, this is the Paramore I know and like, I was beginning to get worried there for a few songs.

Why all the arguing about who's better. I don't care for either, really, but this is adorable!

"The grass wasn't green enough here/ After watering it with my tears" Okay, cracking up.

Sigh. It's fake...Am I the only one who thought when they saw this, "Ooh a cover of The Magnetic Fields! I didn't know Panic! liked this type of music! I'm not sure if it can measure up to the Ben Gibbard/Lemony Snicket version, but I'll watch it anyway!" I suggest a petition asking Panic! At Th...

In light of the Harry Potter reference, ("I'll admit it's all in my head, but who says it can't be real.") all the bugs singing the line, "I wanna be something that will serve the greater good of our race!" is kind of disconcerting in way that I am not sure is unintentional. All the awards, Darre...

Please post the rest. I will do anything. If you said you wanted me to cover "The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side" while wearing a funny hat and baking you a chocolate cake, I would grab my violin, rent a canoe, and go. I am almost serious about this,

So the verses are on the inside, flanked by the verses on the outside? It's an inside-out song!

The Magnetic Fields.

Meh. I prefer the Stephen Merritt and Claudia Gonson cover.

The lyrics are so gorgeous they hurt in the best way possible.

This is my new favorite show.

"Okay, I really am just drunk." The only moment necessary to make me love this song!

That is mesmerizing cover art....

It is unfortunate that Mr. Stump's talents do not extend to lyrics...

I think something's missing... Perhaps the actual "God, that's good" part?

(1:08 ) And hanging from the Damocles Dock sign is an... anchor?

Movies ruin everything. Discuss.

I can't have been the only one to think this, but,

Finn can't dance! Finn can't dance! Fi-inn cannot dance!

He only reads books and he cannot dance,

even if he's reading a how-to-dance book!

I swear, the glee writers are making references to A Very Potter Musical and Sequel.

@Sterlingmapletree I am ridiculously pretentious myself. However, the fact remains that the lyrics are still bad.

@gustavopepone01 So, you're saying that Muse is her...muse? (Ahem, couldn't resist. My apologies.)

Does it bother anyone else that this is called Funeral: The String Quartet Tribute to My Chemical Romance, when Vitamin String quartet also has an album called The String Quartet Tribute to Arcade Fire's Funeral? That is just bad titling. Anyhow, this is a really good cover. The verses are so int...
