Cover-a-Week #34: "The Engine Driver" by The Decemberists

It's been quite a long time since I last posted one of these -- I completely stopped making these videos during NaNoWriMo, and during the period of catching up with my life afterwards. But here's a new one!

Also, just noticed that I now have two videos with over a thousand views; "Finite Simple Group (of Order Two)" just hit four digits. Yay!

Cover-a-Week #21: "Summersong" by The Decemberists

In the spirit of the holiday weekend -- after which it feels like summer is really underway -- here's a somewhat dark and incongruously cheerful piece about the season, by (who else?) The Decemberists...

I had, for the record, a much more pleasant Fourth than the song would suggest; I spent a few days in Philadelphia with my family.

For some reason, the best thumbnail shot YouTube could give me was one where I'm gazing perplexedly into the distance...

I don't want to cover too many songs by the same artist, but I'll definitely do another Decemberists song at some point. There are so many good ones to choose from! (Does anyone have a favorite?) I'm thinking perhaps "Red Right Ankle," or "The Engine Driver," or "Leslie Anne Levine." Thoughts?
