So good. Easily the best so far of the second edition of the Onion's "Undercover" series.

Should have done "Hold the Line."

Then, they could have sang the lyric as "Hold the line....LOW isn't always on time."

Haven't watched it, but I'd imagine Alan Sparhawk chose that song to cover to possibly tie in that he does a lot of missionary/fund-raising in Africa.

This was good. Back towards the more slowcore roots of the band.

i thought they coulda played it much slower. not used to hearing mimi sing so fast. reminded me of some of the covers they've done in the past, including on "lifetime of temporary relief".

saw low last week and it was a pretty sweet performance, and i love "cmon". easily their best and most comprehensive set of songs since "things we lost".
