okay, my obsession with all things GBV is well documented here, so this isn't a surprise...but man that is one tasty tune.  so fucking good.  just about indie rock perfection, if that exists...

I've heard that Jimmy Eats World has a cover of this.  WTF?  Can anyone confirm or deny that??

HOLY COW girl!  We're gonna have to hook you up, it's an unhealthy/healthy obsession of the musical sort...

Word.  

I am very much enjoying the titles "Everyone Thinks I'm a Raincloud (When I'm Not Looking)", "Running Off With the Fun City Girls" and "The Top Chick's Silver Chord".

They are excellent titles.

No one even gets close to Bob in regards to song titles. A master.  And yeah EC....you need to get on board.  They recently put out a box set that is certainly worth the purchase. And as Johnconaway said they put a a greatest hits dics that will give you a full flavor.  Also, their new disc Half Smiles of the Decomposed is great.
