      Google the words "RUclips to mp3" And then click on a site that says something like "y2mate" or something similar
      but there are other good ones too.
      take the link of this video and paste it in there, hit "convert to mp3"
      And then hit download.

      Yeah, that's good. Its the same exact arrangement though...just a little less reserved...which is common with live performances versus the album version.
      Its a good song...i just think Vanderslice really outshines Darnielle on this album.
      But the 2 together is ultimately what makes it as great as it.

    "This is a song about the organ harvesting colonies on the Moon, and the guy who works there and becomes a cannibal and starts eating the corpses of which he is supposed to be taking care, you know, growing kidneys for the government and stuff... This is a song about when he sort of is up there going a little crazy, you know, because he's all alone on the Moon except for all the corpses growing in the pods, and you know, and so, he begins to eat them. And this is sort of his love song to the corpses he's about to eat." -- 2009-03-20 - Attucks Theatre - Norfolk, VA
