Friday night we made the trek out to Union Hall in Brooklyn to help our friends at Gothamist celebrate five fine years of broadcasting NYC news into our RSS readers. Congrats, -ists. Of course, it wasn’t just the birthday cake that lured us; with an ill bill featuring Pattern Is Movement, DJ Craig Wedren, and the mighty Forms, where else would we be? PIM seemed to convert more to the cause that is their phenomenal new album, Wedren spun tunes in one of his last NYC engagements before moving out to LA to work on the new David Wain movie, and the Forms played a typically great Icarus/Forms spanning set to a tightly packed room. Alongside the originals, the band launched into their sludgy, beat-flipping cover of Nirvana’s “All Apologies” (after a little Shudder To banter and Hillary Clinton tears-of-a-croc tease), here:
Heavy shit, shifty groove — which is the Forms M.O., as we learned on Drive XV. The “All Apologies” take is always great, but what do we have to do get you guys to play “Ignoreland”? R.E.M. doesn’t even play it at shows, you’d have the monopoly on “Ignoreland” live renditions. Think about it, that’s all we ask.

Gahhh!!!! That was too anti-climatic…I kept waiting for the…”in the sun I feel as one, in the sun…MARRIED, BURIED, MARRIED, BURIED, YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH” but to no avail.
Horrible
Man. And I thought the original version was boring.
cool and i am not a huge fan of the original. and yeah hillary sucks.
No one is supposd to like this song, but call me lame because I do. I’ve heard it too many times, but its quality stuff if I’m objective about it.
This cover does a few things right, but its still half baked in the end. Shoulda let it cook.
All apologies to those will judge me harshly for liking Nirvana. See what I did there? Im pretty clever. Go fuck a duck you boring contrarians.
Love the forms, this is great! Thanks for posting.
that was probably the worst cover song ive ever heard. terrible
Anyone who doesn’t like Nirvana should be tied up and shot.
