Compare & Contrast ~ Fake Plastic Trees


I’ve been weeding through my hard drive, storing mp3s on an external hard drive in hopes to improve the overall speed of my PC. While weeding, I found a nice batch of Fake Plastic Tree songs.

Listen (in order of my favorites):
Lori McKenna ~ Fake Plastic Trees
Radiohead ~ Fake Plastic Trees
Christopher O’Riley ~ Fake Plastic Trees

Some versions I found at The Live Music Archive:
Charlotte Martin ~ Fake Plastic Trees (live)
Howie Day (w/ Matt Nathanson) ~ Fake Plastic Trees (live)
Matt Nathanson ~ Fake Plastic Trees (live)
The Balance ~ Fake Plastic Trees (live)
Pete Thurston ~ Fake Plastic Trees (live)
emmitt swimming ~ Fake Plastic Trees (live)
Trampled By Turtles ~ Fake Plastic Trees (live)

Which version do you prefer? or did I leave about your favorite? Leave a hullabaloo.

Some of these bands may have songs over at eMusic.

Nice finds, here.

Duncan Sheik does a great version of this song on his At The Reservoir EP. Need it?

Also: did you know that today is the Jewish holiday of Tu B'shevat -- the birthday of trees? Or was that just a coincidence?

Boy,
Didn't know the Jewish holiday thing, so yes, a coincidence. And NO I don't have the Duncan version of this song.
