call all destroyer, Thursday, 10 June 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Its a lot of fun, gotta say.

Evan, Friday, 11 June 2010 01:40 (thirteen years ago) link

glad!

call all destroyer, Saturday, 19 June 2010 03:16 (thirteen years ago) link

still tempted to see them live but I've looked at parts of their performances on YouTube, and I feel like there's the strong possibility their live show will be hella embarassing

ksh, Saturday, 19 June 2010 03:22 (thirteen years ago) link

no. it's hella awesome. you just need to ditch the self-consciousness and get really into it.

when they opened for yeasayer, the first five-ten rows were freaking out along with them and having a fucking BLAST and the rest of the crowd was skeptically being embarrassed for everyone involved.

I'll give you one guess which of us had more fun.

Alex in Montreal, Saturday, 19 June 2010 11:47 (thirteen years ago) link

ok Alex, you've convinced me to probably buy a ticket

ksh, Saturday, 19 June 2010 13:25 (thirteen years ago) link

The DC show sold out so quick I couldn't get a ticket

curmudgeon, Saturday, 19 June 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link

yo alex they're playing with die antwoord for pop, eh?

samosa gibreel, Sunday, 20 June 2010 05:19 (thirteen years ago) link

I think my early faves are "Infinite Guitars" and "Rill Rill" and maybe "Crown on the Ground".

I like every song on this album but "rill rill"

ke$ha in the rye (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 20 June 2010 06:03 (thirteen years ago) link

i feel since last summer of the internet putting up anything that "evokes summer," this year there's now so much of the stuff that quality control has gone to shit, and "rill rill" is the one shining beacon of truth and real summer pop

samosa gibreel, Sunday, 20 June 2010 06:09 (thirteen years ago) link

"rill rill" is the only song on the album that i really like

geremi crossed the ball today (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 20 June 2010 06:09 (thirteen years ago) link

Um...yeah, last I heard, samosa it was w/ die antwoord but then the tour announcement through p4k or whatever had different people listed. unless there are two shows. i'll double check w/ people and get back to you when i'm sober.

Alex in Montreal, Sunday, 20 June 2010 08:00 (thirteen years ago) link

Rill rill is like the classic puff daddy definition of not doing anything with a sample and it's annoying to see the indie brigade who dogged puff for "I'll be missing you" get so hard behind it.

ke$ha in the rye (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 20 June 2010 13:37 (thirteen years ago) link

Maybe if puff put a "chillwave/anco/summer" filter on the police?

ke$ha in the rye (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 20 June 2010 13:38 (thirteen years ago) link

you're still pissed about indie brigade doggings from 1997?

da croupier, Sunday, 20 June 2010 13:45 (thirteen years ago) link

Rill rill is like the classic puff daddy definition of not doing anything with a sample

what's the sample in rill rill?

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 20 June 2010 13:46 (thirteen years ago) link

Funkadelic's 'Can You Get to That'. Sure it's not super-ingenious sampling, but they're completely different songs, so I'm fine with that.

NYC Goatse.cx and Flowers (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 20 June 2010 13:48 (thirteen years ago) link

i was not into the demo version of rill rill but i like the final version a lot.

ksh, Sunday, 20 June 2010 14:40 (thirteen years ago) link

what a "Rill Rill" ripoff

ksh, Sunday, 20 June 2010 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Okay I get it, this is seriously good. It's so wrackingly heavy yet so sing-song pop!

Davek (davek_00), Sunday, 20 June 2010 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link

Masonic Boom would like this if she's around.

Davek (davek_00), Sunday, 20 June 2010 15:36 (thirteen years ago) link

glad so many people are liking this. for some reason, i figured there'd be more backlash than love.

contenderizer, Sunday, 20 June 2010 18:43 (thirteen years ago) link

not sure why people need more slow loud, distorted mushmouth (albeit with updated drum programming) in their lives, but I have enough of it from the 90s that I can't really throw stones. I mean "rill rill" is the one shining beacon of truth and real summer pop reads like indie crack talk to me, but you know, people were saying that about Olivia Tremor Control probably.

da croupier, Sunday, 20 June 2010 18:49 (thirteen years ago) link

whatever happened to summer pop titans United States Of Electonica?

da croupier, Sunday, 20 June 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link

i think people might be more okay with "i'll be missing you" if it was some dope summer pop like "rill rill" instead of a cheap and overly maudlin tribute to a dead dude

geremi crossed the ball today (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 20 June 2010 18:53 (thirteen years ago) link

they do like "rapper's delight," though i still think this "dope summer pop" definition for "rill rill" probably has no validity outside a smattering of dorm rooms and williamsburg.

da croupier, Sunday, 20 June 2010 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah you might be right -- that was personal opinion anyway tho
