i lol'd twice

big lols @ "glophy"

perhaps this goes w/o saying but 'nerds'

hey they hated on van gogh too man they did not listen they did not know how

Want to hear Stoned Carl Sagan

a few things:

- pretty much all of these bands suck shit live, from my experience. the Washed Out recordings are bad-ass, tho.
- Tanlines are really quite good, both live and on record.
- i don't really have a problem with the names because i won't listen to the bands anyway.
- also, this was happening for years with shit in electro and house anyway. DJ Donna Summer? the AC Slater remixxx? etc etc. WEAK NAMES, WEAK GAMES.
- finally, how is one to name a band nowadays anyway? if i were to start a chillwave band, i'd call it "Stoned Carl Sagan" or something stupid like that. punk bands often take song titles from other punk bands and use them as names...like in the 90s, Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live took their name from a subpar Deicide song. my friends Sister Fucker are named after a subpar EYEHATEGOD song. eh.

Do you mean the CD of unreleased stuff they've been selling at his shows?

The thing that's so far ruining it all for me is the vocals. I'm just annoyed that most of these singers are still singing like Panda Bear or whoever came out with the idea of sounding like Brian Wilson singing from the bottom of a water tank? It's like the Vedder syndrome of the '10s (OK, late '00s) and I'm fucking sick to death of it. Just getting a girl to sing would do it for me in most cases.

which band "the raybans" do you guys think would be better?

^^ this cannot be said enough ^^

I have no idea what to make of PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN whose influences include "super smash bros" and "the support of my friends"

haha i saw that band name the other day and just shook my head. i guess that's in the same category as that abe vigoda band, although it's weird that the references have now gone from lol old character actors to someone who's in oscar flicks and hip indie movies now.

yeah at least with Abe Vigoda, I knew right away it was band. With this I was like, "they guy who jizzes on the wall in Happines is opening for Tobacco?"

also, re: bands named after actors, HANE KODDER is kind of the best one going

i'm shocked that there's not a band called River Phoenix yet

each dream is an example

small black:
The winter of 2008/2009 found old friends Ryan Heyner and Josh Kolenik holed up in the attic of Uncle Matt's Long Island home. Those cold weekend days saw Small Black drinking Crystal Light, watching Waterworld, and plugging away on their casios and samplers, while Kolenik's uncle shaped surfboards in the basement.

yo anyone remember hit stixx??

what should these bands or artists sound like then? what music should this generation be making?

Exposure: Peter Gabriel/Neon Indian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up5Urqxw6sk

My vision was that Stereogum would film Peter having an “exchange of ideas” with a like-minded young artist, much in the spirit of Scratch My Back and its forthcoming companion I’ll Scratch Yours. I heard that Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo was also a PG fan, and he agreed to join.

watched like 2 seconds of that video!!

the corona lite guy also goes by "blowing in cartridges"
