Keeping it simple this week and doing a karaoke/cover pair. Karaover? Coveroke? I’m a fan of the Postal Service and of course of this song. This is a much “colder” (in feeling) version and less heartfelt than the original. Wikipedia tells me that this cover was named by the NY Post as one of the best covers of all time. I wouldn’t go that far, but it is enjoyable.

Side note: I’m playing a bit fast and loose with the meta data above. The song is from 2004 off the Wicker Park soundtrack. I’ve never heard of that movie (though the soundtrack looks decent) and I know the song from the Give Up reissue, which is fantastic, so I’m linking to that instead.
