I’d seen Jonathan Richman before. He’s really quirky live and has a lot of charisma and stage presence, so I was really curious how it’d end up when these things were taken away. The set up was Jonathan on (nylon string) guitar and pump organ. Other players were two hand bell players, a trumpet/ baritone player, a bass clarinet/ saxophone/ flute player, a violinist and a cellist. I thought their accompaniment was really good and all the players were very talented. It worked really well with the movie. The main characters had motifs and there were parts were these two motifs were almost colliding when two characters were talking or arguing. A daring move was during certain particularly intense moments in the movie there they left it completely silent; I think it paid off. [...] [...] On now onto the music.

He’s still as absolutely entertaining as always. He’ll move his hips to the music while playing Spanish-influenced guitar and singing in Italian while providing running translation in English or making off-handed comments. And then he’ll do an odd stage bow (or think of it as a figure skater at the end of a routine). I had a big smile on my face the whole time. I’m not overly familiar with his music but he closed with “Not So Much to be Loved as to Love.” [...] [...] Jonathan Richman: The last time I saw him was also a benefit show (and also with Mark Kozelek).

Narrator or not, it's a creepy line. Effective, certainly, and it totally changes the entire tone of the song. Before that, it's somewhat sentimental and "oh what a loser i am." After the "buried" part, whether sexual or murderous, it becomes (obviously) much darker -- whether it's Kozelek or the narrator. Yeah, it’s “Glenn Tipton.”

I'm pretty sure it's the narrator talking and not Kozelek himself. He didn't play any AC/DC covers that I know of. I know the ones on <i>Rock N Roll Singer</i>, including "You Ain't Got a Hold of Me," and I would have recognized them. I think that is the line in “Glenn Tipton”. I’m pretty sure it’s the narrator talking and not Kozelek himself.

Or am I mishearing that? That line always freaked me out. I wonder if he's using "buried" literally or figuratively. Either way, it's kind of scary. Any AC/DC? "You Ain't Got a Hold of Me" kills.
