the polyphonic spree on lithium
Other than not going to Comic-Con this year like I wanted to, I also didn't get to go to Lollapalooza like I wanted to, and, predictably, I missed out. I hardly ever hear Nirvana covers, and I think this is the only one I've ever heard that's any good. You can really hear how beautiful the melody is when it's played on pianos and sousaphones and whatever else the Polyphonic Spree plays...Plus Tim DeLaughter just puts so much heart into it. What you can't see, unfortunately, is the crowd losing their shit. Oh well, maybe next time, right?
Here's a better sounding version from the El Rey in Los Angeles from July.
And while we're at it, Tim DeLaughter with his old band Tripping Daisy from Trees in Dallas, TX, way back in the day, filmed by Texas filmmaker Jeff Liles.
I hope to post something more substantial soon, but I've been actually working at work and I don't have the WEBS at home still. I sit and stare out my window a lot, but I can't see anything because the TV's in the way.
