If you promise to vote, you can download a Wilco song:

It's a cover of Bob Dylan tune with the Fleet Foxes. You can see the video of it here:

Shout out to KA who alerted me to this thread.

That's a very good cover.

I do, I admit, find it maybe just a bit too clean. Wilco is nothing if not tactful. But, no one does raucousness like BD.

Check out this version from the Last Waltz. The only downer is that this version does not feature Richard Manuel, who did a great cover of this song, who hung himself in 1986.

by the way, did you hear that Infinite Jest's DFW just committed suicide?

I did hear that, and decided I'd put off reading Infinite Jest for too long. It's in my cart at Amazon now (not surprisingly, there's a wait of 2 to 4 weeks to get it). It's a damned shame to lose such a mind. I hope he's found peace.
