the whole is-it-a-joke-or-irony-or-not thing pretty much induces this is pop music, because pop music has been riding the "are we serious?" fence just right for many decades.

there's kind of a parallel with a lot of Limp Bizkit songs in the way a really somber downtempo bridge kinda comes out of nowhere and you're not quite sure if it makes it funnier or you're just like "oh, I guess they really do mean it"

j0hn u don't have a problem with the misogyny? cuz that is usually your issue. the part where he mimes choking her and screaming "liar" seems...um...you know.

Yah Trick Ya Kid K (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 9 February 2009 17:54 (fifteen years ago) link

it's kinda funny, kinda catchy, but will be nearly intolerable the 10th time i hear it. hypeman is awesome. (okay, so your job is to go "aaagh!" got it? got it. let's do this.) agree that the "liar" bit is super-creepy, kills the buzz right off, but the crime more the video than the song. lyrical misogyny is there, but watered-down, emo standard. post more stuff like this - ideally, not live.

yeah i guess i just don't care about keeping up with this type of shit anymore. called it LOL u old or whatever. it's like i'm not necessarily like OMG THE END OF MUSIC it just kinda...boring to me. but i'm sure kids need it, just like i needed 2 Live Crew or something like that...

but overall it just seems pretty wack and this idea that you need to care about it or try to figure it out so you're not old seems more pathetic than getting old IMO.

like it's just not really any good to me.

I'd be more concerned about the misogyny angle if the pink shirt hypeman couldn't be pinned to the ground and get piledriven by any of the girls in the video whose necks he's holding his hands around, and also if it didn't look completely silly. That doesn't mean the issue should be ignored, but man, talk about having far more fish to fry on that issue wrt other bands/genres (like the whole alpha-male thing going on in pop music today - hat tip to JBR)

Also, brokeNCYDE are from Albuquerque, NM (ALBUCRAZY NEW MEXXXICO, if you go their myspace page) -- a nice place but hardly anything musically going on, so I kinda forgive them a lil' just for that.

Again, shit is still funny.

I'm convinced brokeNCYDE is a straight up joke. It has the feel of a bunch of skaters playing some kind of grand practical joke, taking the piss out of MySpace emo bullshit. I mean, that part where they're listing off all the brands? Plus, the whole thing about "lets get drunk tonight/we don't have to fuck/baby, bring a fried along"? And then there's all kinds of absurd sutff going on in the background. Pay close attention to all the extras and what they're doing.

what is interesting about this phenomenon (other than how wildly bad it is) is that these people took the 'CRUNK SCREAMS' of Lil Jon (etc), the auto-tuning of T-Pain, and the agonized pain of emo-pop and rolled it into one genre that is so bizarre and insane sounding that it kind of works.

If I had to guess the backstory for Teen Hearts, I'm thinking it is a group of techies who realized the venture capital they secured for they're web 2.0 project (blerf.com or some such) wasn't working out, so they're burning the funds on the band. Good thing they bundled in Logic Studio when they all bought themselves the MacBook Pros. Looking at the MySpace, they clearly had the contracts with the swag manufactures already worked out.

i predict more of this kind of stuff will break mainstream into pop radio now that the owl city stuff was a hit

from http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008/11/in-which-we-pon.html

"What we have here are the hideous side effects of Internet-culture music poptimism: a world in which every trope of every genre, sub- or not, is so instantly accessible, consumable and repeatable that to "like" something is completely subsumed by the act of "acknowledging" something. As terrifying as "Freaxxx" is to listen to, its main function is not as song, but as a checklist of pop culture talking points -- there is autotune, there is screamo, there are awful house beats, there is casual misogyny and committed misogyny...There are so many inscrutable moments in the song and video (for instance, how would an eager young lady go about taking off her panties, then her pants, as the song suggests?) that it could amply reward a whole afternoon of putting off work for repeat viewings."

Few artists talk about their spiritual beliefs, even fewer let them rule their life as openly as New York's Darwin Deez.

Deez, as well as fronting his own band, is a Baba Lover: a follower of the teachings of 20th century Indian spiritualist Meher Baba.

The preacher, who adopted silence from the age of 31 until he died at 74 in 1969, advocated the mantra 'Don't worry be happy' (later picked up by Bobby McFerrin for his 1988 hit) and denigrated the use of drugs.

"It can be a challenge for real, but I think it's a worthwhile challenge," says Deez, pondering his life choices. "It helps people to exude cheerfulness. Baba always said cheerfulness has spiritual value."
Waiter by day

Indeed, Deez, who waits tables at a vegan restaurant by day and plays gigs with his band by night, is exceptionally cheerful.

But he also finds the archetypal life of a rock 'n' roller at odds with his own clean-living beliefs.

"It's going to feel a little strange just going from one oasis of liquor to another night after night," he explains, on the subject of an upcoming US tour.

"If you want to be a musician, if you want to be a songwriter, at some point you've got to service the drunkies (sic)."

If all this makes Deez sound like a boring hippy with an allergy to fun, he's anything but.

He writes positive songs reminiscent of NYC buddies The Strokes, whilst his live gigs are explosions of joy - often involving syncopated dance interludes - like a low-budget Flaming Lips production.

"The first song I ever wrote was called Missing and it was probably when I was 11 after I got my guitar. My parents got me a guitar for my birthday," he laughs. "In fact I still play it - it was a little catchy two-cord song."
Debut single

Speaking of catchy songs, Constellations is Deez's debut single out in December - a rickety indie anthem which references Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star.

"There was a period where I would go to the open mic night every week at the sidewalk café (New York)," he elaborates.
Darwin Deez Darwin Deez and his band

"Some cool people used to do that like Regina Spektor, Adam Green (Moldy Peaches) and this guy Latch - I started hearing things I liked. I stole the idea to reference a children's song. That is how the lyrics of Constellations got started.

Now, he's on his second album Astrological Epochs And The Sands Of Time ("my first album, I never released it or performed it"). It is set for release sometime in 2010.

"I feel like the music that I've made on this record has far reaching appeal," he says.

"The next record will be a little more introspective, emotional, Radiohead-whatever."

But for the moment, in between pursuing his deep interest in philosophy, he's grabbing every opportunity that comes knocking.

"I want my songs to be famous whether I'm the one singing them or not," he states, before embarking another in-depth tangent about Animal Collective's work ethic.

"The physical world is ultimately illusion," he says colourfully. "It keeps changing."

So begins this Darwin's evolution.

Quick swipes of a guitar and a drum machine are all Darwin really needs to ignite his presence, which alone is more entertaining than the masses that attempt a similar rock-electro fusion.
