So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

I'm totally down with the Pomplamoose two minute hate, but I do have to wonder just how many people here would trade places with them... having enough $$$ coming in to be able to buy a house, inflict your creativity on the world, do whatever the hell you want, etc. You just have to be able to withstand the backlash.

my disdain for them has very little to do with their success

I'm not making a link between hatred and success, but it's interesting to see some of these grass roots 1000 true fans/Long Tail stories in action.

Amanda Hocking to thread

If I traded places with them would I have to be castrated?

Cleo is as disinterested in her as I am.

This thread will never die, will it?

not as long as they're out there

a new ironic cover duo enters the fray...

in my world of Pomplamoose clones

see that doesn't even read as ironic to me, at all

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the initial clip in this thread has been made "private".

xp it's at least a little sarcastic with the organ synth and all. either way, she def. took a page from the pomplamoose book of cutesy mugging for the camera

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the initial clip in this thread has been made "private".

hyundai wouldn't want to dilute the magic by allowing people to watch it all year. it's meant to be watched in the wintertime, approximately once every seven minutes.

OK that Look At Me Now cover >>>>>>>>> Pomplamousse.

She's a bit precious, but she's actually good. The organ synth is a cool touch -- minimal, nothing like Pomplamousse's twee barforama.

otm.

Nah, I never could get worked up about Pomplamoose really, but this thing is unbearable.

LOS ANGELES, May 3, 2011 -- 15 MINUTES, the first original album from singer-songwriter Barry Manilow in ten years, is set to be released on June 14th.

Manilow is releasing 15 MINUTES through the independent label STILETTO Entertainment and in partnership with FONTANA, the award-winning independent marketing and sales company of UNIVERSAL Music Group.

More than two years in the making, Manilow teams up once again with lyricist Enoch Anderson for this latest work.

Making a guest appearance on 15 MINUTES is young Nataly Dawn, lead singer of the white-hot group "Pomplamoose." Her rendition of "Letter From A Fan" is both innocent and eerie.

white, hot

gaaaah a few weeks ago a friend of mine told me that she really loved this "cute" cover of beyonce's "single ladies" by this "kinda mousy-looking girl." i was already suspicious but just to be sure i asked her to show me. when it indeed turned out to pomplamoose i almost considered disowning her as a friend

Haters, can Pomplamoose turn you around with their version of the Angry Birds theme?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UCm6uyzNE8&feature=player_embedded

I pronounce it "bum".

Pomplamoose: the Stone Temple Pilots of twee.

who plays angry birds with the music on.

I'm gonna just start listening to these guys all the time just to piss off whiney.
no more miles for me. i'm a pomplamaniac

I feel like reddit posters probably love these twerps. Particularly the ones that post cat photos all day.

i'm a pomplamaniac

as opposed to a pompalomaniac -- a person with grandiose fantasies of becoming the next youtube cover sensation

who plays angry birds with the music on.

literally did not know until David's post that there was a theme tune

so they must be getting $$$ from Samsung now?
