Indie Chicks With Acoustic Guitars, Webcams

Jesus Christ writes in...

hey mr. gum,
jesus christ here. hi. i had a blast putting this post together, and i think its up your alley. youtube indie rock acoustic guitar girls singing intimate covers of their favorite indie rock tunes. most of these are cute, some are not. i love you, jesus christ.
Nice job, J. We recommend. Go here to watch the gals cover the Decemberists, the Shins, Bright Eyes, Neutral Milk Hotel, Death Cab, Sufjan, Feist, Iron & Wine, and more of the usual suspects. Who's your favorite?

The Laura Veirs and Shins songs are nicely done. Definitely the best thing I saw on the internets today. Thanks JC.
