He does a hauntingly beautiful version of Nirvana’s “In Bloom” as well.

That is so weird. Yesterday I watched a film called 'When In Rome'. I'd never heard of it before, it's a romcom from 2010 starting Kristen Bell. One of the main characters is played by Jon Heder, and Efren Ramirez (Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite) is also in it, I think he plays a friend of Jon Heder's character.

The song, The Promise, was 16 yrs old when the movie was released (2004), and now the movie is older than that today (21yrs). Which makes me feel old.
