so last year The Weakerthans did a show with Sarah Harmer . . . i remember waiting for them to do it but forgot about it so never picked up the bootleg. Just recently i was looking for some more Live Weakerthans stuff while I was surfin' around for Tegan and Sara stuff. ^_^
anyway, you can grab a bunch of .mp3s from – >

just scroll down a bunch of ctrl+f and 'weakerthans' it. XXD.
theres a extremely good cover of Swinging Party by The Weakerthans and Gone for Good by Sarah Harmer (with John K Samson on back-up! woop). I like their cover better than The Shins version.
Theres also a duet cover of Islands in the Stream. I haven't decided if i like it better than the original, it is pretty nifty though.
So yeah.
Live Weakerthans = awesome (in the traditional sense, not the frequently thrown around term which people seem to apply to things that are actually mediocre). Makes me even more sad that I've lost one of their live concerts I had. (If anyone reads this and has Live Weakerthans bootlegs, wanna like, send me em?)
I do beleive if I ever saw them Live for real I'd die form excitment.
Id never heard of Sarah Harmer before they did this show together and I must say her voice is very good live (way better than Johns!). I'm going to hunt some of her stuff down i think, even though it does sound a tad country.
