OK. There are a few times that it’s permissable to get really, really excited. One of those times is when Of Montreal covers anybody — they’re the best in the biz for chosing and executing great live covers (lately: “Moonage Daydream,” “F*ck the Pain Away”). The other time is when anybody covers the Olivia Tremor Control. And guess what — this is both. Here’s an excellent recording of Kevin covering the OTC’s song “Green Typewriters” acoustically at Good Records. Get the rest of the set (including Beatles and Neil Young covers, and a new song) at Lullabyes.net

MP3: Kevin Barnes - Green Typewriters (Olivia Tremor Control)

I know someone recorded video of this performance, but until it’s available, feel free to hit up this video of an acoustic instore performance from last year.
