it's Chris Thile covering Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" on mandolin, substituting "brother" for the n-word. it is the most cringeworthy thing imaginable.

oh god I actually like Thile / Punch Brothers in general but there's no way in hell I'm listening to that

Not listening to this, let alone watching it.

two years pass...

Had press tix and saw Chris Thile host and play his Live from Here radio show yesterday. He named off folks having birthdays this week and covered their songs with a big band . Sarah Jarosz sang & he played mandolin on Labelle “ Lady Marmalade,” and Dylan “Twist of Fate.” They also did Miles Davis “So What.” Non-birthday cover of Vampire Weekend

Dethroned Halloween, Alaska's "I Can't Live Without My Radio" for favorite track in this theme.

The "Jesus, take the wheel" line is such a mournful hook that's an aside in the original Thundercat track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8TdgBWEOP8
