I really want to hate their whole schtick, but I just can't!

Oh my God I love all of their stuff! I Gotta Feeling is so great! My dad and his family were big bluegrass aficionados; why haven't I heard of these guys before?

I am seriously considering cross-posting this to the blue.

This is sublime.

Different guys, but a really fitting cover: Kids (MGMT) by Dr. Fox's Old Timey String Band

BOP: It's already been done (I *love* their Walk Like an Egyptian, which is the first pop song I really remember from childhood, and which is strangely relevant now).

Branson. That's what I'm picking up on that I don't care for. That and the drum. Still, it's happy catchy.
