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

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_Got_Loaded, please get them in here for a Q&A!

"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

Someone saw Gone Girl

Ed Rodriguez of Deerhoof with a great corrective to the now infamous Pomplamouse "we lost money on tour" article

Thank you yes yes otmx1000 Ed Rodriguez

seems legit

yeah, that's what a longtime mid tier band sounds like

damn that is a good article

so this guy did this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v2mvO7Yq48

and then he did this
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2015/03/hypnotize-dinosaurs-video-interview.php

and then he did this
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/benjaminroberts/the-mashup-year

and then he cancelled the whole thing

An image of the Dinosaurs video in Adobe Premiere. Each edit took 5-10 minutes to sync with the Hypnotize audio. It took approximately 30 hours to complete the lip syncing.

I can see why he would want to do a kickstarter for 1 of these a month. That's like 1 hour of work a day.

Presumably the rest of the time is spent watching "I Love the 90s" while intoxicated.

brainstorming: 130 hours a months

Sad the Kickstarter fell through, I was looking forward to not watching a Full House/House of Pain mashup.

um at what point does this stop being about bloodborne?

ayeeee can u delete that???

lol, the dangers of cut and paste

this thread must have one of the all-time great OPs

Morgan James, the vocalist on that Postmodern Jukebox cover of Maroon 5's "Maps" upthread, does not have her own thread at this point, so I am posting this here, what on first listen seems to be a dead on target cover of Aretha's "Ain't No Way," no mean feat.

So hey, Karmin's back! This is not a joke. This is the actual press release.

The journey for Karmin’s Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan has been a wild one, to say the least after the duo signed to Epic Records and scored the double-platinum hit “Brokenhearted” off their 2012 EP Hello, and appeared on Saturday Night Live. Not to mention, Amy’s stunning appearance gracing the cover of Rolling Stone. Along the way they have earned esteemed accolades from hip-hop heavy hitters ranging from The Roots’ Questlove, Diplo, Jermaine Dupri, and The Game. The duo has performed more than 600 live shows and has racked up over a billion collective views of their eye-popping videos (fueled by the devotion of millions of loyal fans around the world, who call themselves “Karminites”).

"With triumphs too long to list, the duo have not forgotten their roots as two Berklee College of Music graduates that have been on a crazy journey since being pulled from their basement apartment in Boston and set on the tumultuous path to music stardom. They are recipients of the American Music Award and have appeared on Dancing With the Stars, Good Morning America, and The Ellen Show, just to name a few. “We were kind of in a honeymoon phase for a while, like, ‘Holy shit, that actually happened?’” Amy says of the events of the last few years.

"After surviving the hype of a major label deal, the band parted ways with Epic Records in order to pursue a distinct creative vision that is represented on their upcoming album, Leo Rising. Despite the struggles they’ve endured, Karmin have emerged with a stylistically wide-ranging and truly artistic statement-making album that finds them presenting the most authentic version of who they are to date. All this thanks to clear-eyed, honest storytelling, sonic boundary-pushing, and expanded creative control with Amy and Nick serving as executive producers and Nick stepping up as both a lead vocalist and producer.

"Karmin tells Billboard, "The Gemini track of our upcoming album "Leo Rising", the song "Didn't Know You", is a story of betrayal. We wanted the listener to feel the passion and energy in the story so we built it on a driving bass line with a syncopated drum groove which opens up to a full rhythm section of aggressive, pissed off drummers. We hope you love it, we made it for you!"

it sounds good
