Mekons cover with a Waylon melody and New Orleans brass. I love Will for ever.

[@MandiRae]

The only musical artist that makes me feel excited and uncomfortable simultaneously. I love BPB so much.

[@iangoodisDMX]

Mandi Rae he is awesome. I got see Superwolf in 2006
Genius. And I just tracked him down at Headliners music hall when lightning bolt was there in march. Got my picture with him and talked to him for a minute. Genius. And he sat in front of me at a house show of Harris Newman and Micah Blue Smaldone. Look up The Clearing Micah Blue Smaldone

You need to try Tom Waits my friend .

[@blobcsgo7190]

I really enjoy everything about this song and video. Talented kids.

[@sehschelle]

[@alexjeffrey4093]

My favourite genre of music. WEirdness.

[@DexterousDiggs]

Most under rated singer songwriter of my time.

[@laci-annmosher8780]

I saw him perform live and I cried. It's rare to see someone of such honesty stand in front of you.

[@thetcstephens]

I wish I could like this more than once.

[@chriswilliams7928]

This man is on a different planet. Wonderful stuff.

[@td6873]

I like him because he takes such risks with his music. Not many artists would be able to pull off what he does.

[@EvilAntic]

T D I'm not sure even he is pulling it off half the time..

[@BlewberryOne]

@@EvilAntic You know what horrorcore is?

[@Green--X]

@@EvilAntic I think he's doing great, almost everything I've heard so far from Arise Therefore to here has been fantastic.

[@coyotesmile8972]

He's like fresh air.

[@philstone6129]

He's been around forever and will be around forever

[@deivi1]

You misspelled 'gotten awesomer'.

[@przemek6146]

This is the awefullllllest thing he's ever done. That I know of. And I've been a fan since the early days in Louis-v.

[@culturall8775]

Speaking as a classically trained musician, it’s actually excellent

[@8Ryanaugust]

This is a horrible, no-good version of BPB/Will.

[@claymationwaves]

[@subsamadhi]
