I love Keep it Like a Secret. For The New Green's second CD release party we chose 5 bands to cover a song from as our encore and "Built to Spill" was one of them. We played Center of the Universe. What a great song:

The album is a classic, fantastic choice of song to cover too! Another great one would be Carry the Zero but you wouldn't happen to have some sort of recording of your cover of Center of the Universe? I don't think I've ever heard a band do a cover of any Built to Spill stuff before and it seems pretty neat.

thanks for the track bgood79, here it is TAFT:

Not a good sign when the guy fronting the band has to ask, "do we all start in together on this one?" -We rehearsed this maybe 3 times :)

Enjoy.

EDIT: coffeesp00ns, as a fan of the Band, you may appreciate the next song we covered that night:

Holy crap you found it, and that was good! Seriously, for rehearsing the song 3 times, big thumbs up.

I love the "The Shape I'm In" cover! That's my favourite the Band song :D

bgood79, do you have a recording of our Built to Spill cover? I don't.
