Great Cover #5 East Hastings

There are so many crap cover songs on Youtube, some by bands in a rehearsal room, some by well known bands (like the Red Hot Chili Peppers doing Subterranean Homesick Blues) or someone in their bedroom with an acoustic guitar. But I came across a very good acoustic guitar in bedroom recording of a Godspeed You Black Emperor song called East Hastings. Its from a Japanese guy that for some reason has a scarf wrapped all around his head and is wearing short shorts. He does a great job of taking such an epic song and scaling it down to a basic acoustic guitar arrangement.
