Cover This Week: Day 2

Iron Horse-Dark Center Of The Universe (Modest Mouse Cover)

I loves me some Modest Mouse. I have no idea how I came across the Iron Horse tribute to Modest Mouse-Pickin’ On Modest Mouse-but when I did I was hooked. I’ve never really been a bluegrass man but hearing songs that I love plucked out on banjo is an entirely enjoyable experience for me. Iron Horse also does bluegrass tributes to Ozzy, Led Zepplin, Metallica, and Guns ‘n Roses, none of which I’ve actually heard but all of which I’m excited to buy. I’m not going to run out and buy every Lonesome Pine Fiddlers album I see or anything, but at least when someone says, “Do you get into bluegrass?” I can still say, “Take a shower you fucking hippie.”
