  • anything they do is amazing ..

  • Ditto

  • Yeah... I mean it's funny anyway. It's great to hear them having fun, but it's pretty rubbish when you come down to it.

  • I'm quitte sure that's much of the idea behind being "lo-fi". You know what they say about "shitgaze": It's just like shoegaze, but sounds shitty.

    Thanks for the comments

  • This is so great.

  • Yup, and the very last song "they" (Jeff Magnum it is) ever played as NMH

  • @GradeSchoolRecords you dont know shit about music then

  • I love this version to pieces. The other guy singing with Jeff is a songwriter from New Zealand named Chris Knox, who has had material covered by Jeff Mangum.

  • who's the singer with the british accent?

  • The Beatles = Jeff Mangum

    You disagree, you don't know SHIT about music.

  • @GradeSchoolRecords not everyone can love the same band in the whole world lol

    it's okay, hehe

  • this is better than the original

  • I dont like the beatles, but I do like this

    ps dont hate on me for not liking the beatles (i do like revolution 9)

  • This cover is interesting, and I certainly admire Jeff Mangum a great deal (as much as John Lennon in many ways), but I think what is so impressive about Lennon's version of this song is that it the emotional intensity--the screaming and such--was so precisely refined. In this version, they seem to sort of be just screaming to scream. Seeing as it was such a personal song to Lennon, I just don't buy the emotion in the same way. Certainly worth listening to, though.

  • i love it, very penid.

  • Oh, man.

    Even though it's so ear-wrenching.

    So insanity-inducing.

    So confusing.

    So vile and putrid.

    I didn't want it to end.
