Muzzle of Bees



I don't usually search YouTube for covers of my favourite bands/songs but I haven't turn of the television today therefore I must amuse myself online (I'm also trying to prepare for the upcoming week). What I like about this cover is the song selection. Muzzle of Bees isn't a song most Wilco fans would chose to cover. Jeff Tweedy has written lots of folk and country-styled songs that lend themselves to singer/songwriter covers. Muzzle of Bees is a full band song, a highlight off the A Ghost is Born album. Lots of distorting but he handles the song well. This is under 100 views so hopefully this will help jump start at least ten more views.

And, also there are lot of mediocre covers. They aren't bad just nothing special; simply lacking the spark. The last two sentences aren't anything new. Just thought I'd add my semi-positive spin on the amount of videos posted on YouTube.

Also, I find it difficult to watch the people sing directly into the camera. Then again, I'm not biggest fan of music videos in general so that might just be my preference to listen and not watch my pop music.
