Last week, when Ryan Adams posted his second Vampire Weekend cover of the week and I asked “will Ryan Adams cover the whole of Vampire Weekend?” and “will he cover their whole discography?” I was joking. Roll around Saturday night, it seems Mr. Adams has no other plans for his weekend than to record more videos, and the answers to my questions have suddenly become “quite possibly” and “I wouldn’t put it past him.”
Ryan Adams has continued working his way through Vampire Weekend and is now on track 3: “A-Punk.” It’s completely subjective of course, but out of all three I think this has converted the best into the singer-songwriter format.
Adam says of the rendition “I had some time to sit down and figure it out today. There is a part of me that feels like I am oversharing by doing this- but you know I love to play and I love music so much so I am Just sharin’ tunes with whoever wants to listen plain and simple. have a cool nite. keep the faith.” Watch below.
