doesn't sound so great, either.....
what about artists who are good at making music/videos but are crap at tutorials/whatnot/q&a?
more importantly, what about consumers who enjoy music/videos but could give a rats about tutorials/hangouts/whatnot?

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 20:44 (twelve years ago)

can't say I think much of that. And I like some of their covers.

Just found Pomplamoose is coming to the Beachland in Cleveland on Sept. 19. The temptation to go ironically is great.

bi-polar uncle (its OK-he's dead) (Phil D.), Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:27 (twelve years ago)

An odd comparison just came to me: the deconstructed synth-pop covers with deadpan female vocals thing that Pomplamoose traffic in reminded me of Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin.

I'm not sure why I like their stuff and find Pomplamoose so incredibly irritating, though.

No matter how much time and effort they put into their videos they still have no charisma at all.

Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:37 (eleven years ago)

I don't know why all music videos don't end with two minutes of the artists just straight-up talking into the camera thanking people and plugging their tour dates.

is this supposed to be their statement on gamergate or something

maura, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 23:27 (eleven years ago)

Honestly, I like this band.

Brocktoon Tanuki (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 30 October 2014 02:11 (eleven years ago)

While I don't exactly *like* them, in the sense that I never find myself actively wanting to listen to them other than in the context of "what the fuck are they up to this time," they are kind of ingenious. I can't help but admire them a little in spite of all their insufferability.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Thursday, 30 October 2014 03:18 (eleven years ago)

I mean honestly if everything they did wasn't so completely consumed by forced, painful smirkiness, they could be good imo.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Thursday, 30 October 2014 04:12 (eleven years ago)

She has a certain way of looking at the camera which is unaccountably irritating. Without that, they'd just be innocuous.

jmm, Thursday, 30 October 2014 04:22 (eleven years ago)

Actually I find the guy's goofball antics to be even more annoying. But those 'tudes bleed a little into the music too.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Thursday, 30 October 2014 04:23 (eleven years ago)

They actually remind me a lot of this, which I like

They still have this giddy freshmen staying up too late in the dorm lounge thing that I wish they would grow out of. I really think musically they are amazing at times, and very clever with their videos and such.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Thursday, 30 October 2014 04:24 (eleven years ago)

oh heh, guess we discussed B&B multiple times upthread, including me specifically discussing how I did NOT like that record at the time. Memory is frail.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Thursday, 30 October 2014 04:40 (eleven years ago)

*Kicks Eyeball Kicks in eyeball*

I mean, it's not like I would buy their records, but over the years I've grown to look forward to this thread getting bumped. I find them irritating in many ways, but it's a very pleasant form of irritation.

Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 30 October 2014 09:59 (eleven years ago)

I like the music he makes in that video, but she is as irritating as ever.

These two make the current wave of indietronica (i.e. "Hip™ for basics") being discussed in the "high-selling singles" thread seem gritty and likable and REAL

when they weren't twee-ifying r&b, they weren't bad live

maura, Thursday, 30 October 2014 10:53 (eleven years ago)

they're a reminder that you can be in some sense objectively talented and also sorta terrible.

speaking of which have we discussed the postmodern jukebox ppl anywhere?
