Is there a bad version of this song?


I mean I've heard the big three, but also a few covers, all of which were at least different. You can thank SXM for turning me onto this version last night.

It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when... – @truth-has-a-liberal-bias on Tumblr

Forgot this was a cover


I grew up with this version, so it is the one I prefer, but I gotta say the original by Brownsville Station is quite good, and shockingly never seems to show up on any classic rock, oldies, or similar stations, which seems a bit of a shame.

Fun day


Not much to say about #today, relatively slow down, household finance stuff and did some work for fun. Yes, work for fun, picked up in Glen Carbon, did one drop in Edwardsville, three in Marine, and one in Highland, four from WalMart, one from Petsmart. I've already more than made my money for the week, so there was no need to do any more, but... Couldn't resist.

Too many miles for too little money, but like I said, did it for fun. Turns out I've been to both towns, did Amazon deliveries in Marine around 2018, and last time me and @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe drove out to PA to visit my family, we'd stopped in Highland at Huddle House for breakfast. Ain't a Huddle House no more, which is a shame as I like them, but I'm up for trying the new place, Eddies Rise 'n Dine, if'n it's still around next time. Whole thing was just wandering around rural and small town Illinois for a few hours, then coming back 44 miles.











Honestly never thought I'd see a cover of this


Funny thing is that YouTube offered not just this halfway decent one, but also one by... Headstone I think it was. Headstone's is not real good, the added rock beat sounds generic, and the singer seems uninterested in what he's singing, it's like he's just going through the motions. The Punch Brothers version isn't great, but it is an interesting take, definitely worth giving a listen to.

Punch Brothers are best described as Americana, Nu Grass. They cover pop songs too for fun, Radiohead in particular. Chris Thile, the singer and mandolin player is in another band called Nickel Creek, which is closer to folk. Punch Brothers emerged at around the same time as some other bands like Mumford and Sons that echoed the folk music of the past with a current vibe.

@Mark Wollschlager Nickel Creek I've heard of, I think they're the one's behind one of Avicii's songs (he just mixes them), pretty good band, but I'll definitely need to give them all a look.
