I’ve saved this cover for last for a number of reasons. For one, I’ve never really listened to Bluegrass before, and this song prompted me to grab a few podcasts and dive in. Not necessarily my style of music, but it’s good to branch out and listen to a condensed version of a music genre that doesn’t normally grab your attention. Self-improvement, or something deep like that.

Secondly, Kids by MGMT is an all-around solid song. The original is really well written, and it’s always been my second favourite MGMT song after Electric Feel, but that’s another post all together.

Finally, I’ve waited on posting this because I wanted to save my favourite for last. This cover just utterly blew me away, as it really came out of nowhere. Bluegrass cover of MGMT? The band is called the Ooks of Hazzard? There’s more Ukuleles in it than there were original members of Broken Social Scene? I’m sorry…where do I sign up?

They have a site, but unfortunately it’s not quite fully set up yet – you can check it out here.

Watch this…you won’t be disappointed:
