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

God, watching them play makes me never want to play music in front of other people. Like, what if I was playing a show and accidentally came out looking/sounding like that without realizing it.

I find Jack especially painful to watch, it's like he has neither a sincere nor a sinister bone in his body, like a pod person who only learned to imitate zaniness.

^^this

oof thats so otm i'm cringing

mark teo piece (aux.tv) is pretty good. i've had non-muso people send it to me. backlash!

was always way disappointed to see james fallows of all people pimping the 'moose back when

"Then again, the internet is more interesting than most music you make."

lmao the loudest male fan voice screaming at the beginning of that live bit reminds me of something

I'm never going to a show ever agian

if ben folds is nirvana, he's puddle of mudd

Here is an interview published in USA Today, in which I explain that I’m still not taking a salary as CEO even after our $15 million round in venture financing, but rather I’m living off of my income as an artist.

how noble

"I'd have all these views, but at the end of the month I'd check my ad revenue (off his YouTube channel) and I'd get a check for like $6, or $10," says Conte, 30.

speaking of disseminating false information

Gee huh derp fuckin' royalties how do they work *prints out free cash flow spreadsheet for startup venture*

Dunno exactly what dude is getting right or wrong but I'm filing him under "unreliable narrator" for sure

He left out the part where he gets a 5% commission on contributions to Patreon. Whoopsie!

(or rather, Whoop$ie!)

"despite our willingness to take sponsorship, we failed to budget appropriately for a month-long tour. so don't tell us we're rich."

"you have 15m in the bank."

"i am too ethical to touch that money. so don't tell us we're rich."

crossing my fingers someday he'll write a long post about how he's still one of the little guys despite being on the celebrity apprentice

So after watching those live videos, I think whatever expenses / losses they've taken on were absolutely necessary if they really want to try to turn this horrible fake-band that no one truly cares about into anything even remotely resembling a real band with real fans.

There's no way he only gets $6 dollars a month on 100M yt views. Dude is full of bullshit or he really really sucks at managing money. And at making music.

he doesn't even make music, he just repurposes content. he is the music equivalent of an aggregator. huffamoose post.

Seriously I keep pronouncing their name in my head and bursting into giggles

huffamoose post. lol

I was at my friend's birthday party last night and there were photos of Pomplamoose everywhere. Apparently he lives at their house, along with two other not-Pomplamoose tenants. When I found this out I argued with anybody who would listen about their insufferability. I woke up covered in vomit in the studio where they record.

"I woke up covered in vomit in the studio where they record."
i don't know if i want to ask for more info here but you can't possibly mean literally?

"I woke up covered in vomit in the studio where they record."

Hearing this to the tune of the opening line of "1999."

"Manic Monday" works even better

this is the sound of the wagon going down the steep side of the hill

double layers of fakin the funk

clicked the hidden image link, saw the video still, went "NO NO NO DEAR GOD NO", sprained my finger clicking the Back button on my browser, currently looking for NYC hitmen that take PayPal

take that shit to deepweb and leave me out of it
the video is really a thing of wonder
but if you need more evidence for the defense in court, may I refer you to the unnecessary subtitling and vapid stares into the camera here
