New bohemianism: beards, pickling beets, Fleet Foxes, rye...

The well-turned thing about the imagery is the red-on-white scarves/snow that it kinda suggests at the end may have turned to red-on-white blood/snow.

Yeah, I got that.

fully true tho that it works better in the ear than on the page, if that is the comparison, as i have just heard this on their myspace dot com

i saw these guys a bit before this micro-blowup and they were impressive -- the singing especially, yes. the songs were catchy and memorable hearing them once, live, so they must be doing something right and it's not surprising they are getting buzz. they were obviously going for that minor-key t-bone burnett style space-country and they nailed it. i always appreciate a band who orchestrates things well, and there was plenty of reverb and purposeful echo-y empty space instead of a lot of generic strumming with a pedal steel on top or whatever.

i should add here FWIW, i like these guys okay! their voices are great, songs are cool even if i don't care for their lyrics. but i don't care about lyrics that much.

basically these guys make me feel old
which i am cool with feeling/being! but not via them
haha
ha

if i was me as i was in 2000 today then i wld be all into this
and butter churning

it works better in the ear than on the page

now what'd I JUST say?

oh wait sorry i misread you, je suis desolee

d'accord

Quand on est ensemble...

oui, mais moi...

why would anyone ever say 'wear a beard'??
unless this is a british thing to say, in which case, carry on being british or whatever

He wears his whiskers long
She wears her hair in a bun
etc.

wears GROWS
wears PUTS

Yes, just like that classic song, "if you're going to San Francisco / be sure to PUT some flowers in your hair"

Um that's not the same thing at all!

Am I seriously going to have to get out a dictionary and/or copies of 19th-century literature to convince you guys this usage exists?

No, I'm just being a dick

Haha so am I, kinda. (Jay-Z says "wears her hair in a twist!") It's totally archaic, but I really do like the use of "wear" for styling decisions, including hair growths -- wear your jeans tight, wear your hair long, wear side-whiskers, wear a beard

wear your heart on your sleeve, wear your fingers to the bone, wear a point into the ground, wear out a welcome

i have just been french-english exchanging and in this talk often turns to discussions of the idiomatic and grammatically weird or archaic when trying to find correct translations - it is funny but also confusing because yeah maybe the wear a beard thing etc is right even if only nabisco and people in the 19thC use it

language so crazy

ok but if she has already put her hair in a bun she is wearing her hair in a bun.
