...I'm curious to hear this cover! While part of me agrees with your assessment (Ben's sweet tenor seems ill-suited to convey the gritty, bitter lyrics that Cobain managed so effortlessly), I'm a fan of a good musical paradox. I think this sounds intriguing.
Though the other part of me sees the square movie industry exes making the musical call for this one. "Well Nirvana was big and from Seattle... and now Death Cab are big and from Seattle! We'd better get that Ken Hibbard to sing this one!"
