Colin Meloy covers NMH in Seattle

Thanks to HTFAF reader Ryan Canseco for the mp3.

So, in the holy grail of fantasy covers, Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy is heard here covering a song everyone knows: King of Carrot Flowers from a little band from Georgia called Neutral Milk Hotel at the Showbox in Seattle back in May. Sure he messes up a little bit here and there, but that doesn’t keep this from becoming a memorable moment.
