Late to thread but: I bet they knit their own stage lighting and send concert announcements with bags of seeds and their t-shirts have public domain children's book illustrations on them and OMFG I HATE THEM SO MUCH.

Corte Madera? Ugh. Of course. Wrote her first poem looking across the bay at San Quentin wondering what the butterflies who fly over the prison feel like.

(explodes with rage)

And while we're talking about other annoying Christmas commercials w/ songs: this Jingle Bells/Our House mash-up was on every other commercial and was driving me crazy.

the ads w/ the vampire weekend song irritate me and make me wonder why anyone would ever choose to sing like that slightly more than the pomplamoose one

Ok, the thread has hit the point where I ask someone to post the famous Burt_Stanton hipster breakdown post because I can't find it.

In case you’re wondering if they are or aren’t a couple, they are. They live together in southern Sonoma County (they won’t say where.) They make their videos using Pro Tools and Final Cut in their garage. Hyundai came to their garage for the Christmas commercial spots. It’s fairly certain that their music flies off Myspace at high bitrates; no need for shelves.

With their recent success, they’ve been able to quit their days jobs and devote full time to music. They had great jobs, too. Conte was a composer for Google’s in-house corporate videos. Nataly Dawn was a hotel marketer.

For their recent New Year’s Eve show in San Francisco, they had to hire three backing musicians. It seems like they’d rather be making videos and recording. Who can blame them. Said Conte, “We have a very opposite business model of most musicians. Most bands and musicians don’t make money on recordings, and they only make money on live shows. We are precisely the opposite. We lose money on live shows and make our living on recordings.”

"We're also awful people," added Dawn before peeling the head off a squirming kitten and sloppily guzzling blood from its tiny neckhole.

Lose money on live shows = club owners kill them with hammers every time they walk in to set up

I kind of want to e-mail them a link to this thread just to see what happens.

So these two are basically a cynical version of The Bird & The Bee, right? But without the songwriting abilities?

Like Captain and Tennille with actual muskrats

like a couple fucks in a car comercial

Her mugging for the camera is so gross

like a couple fucks in a car comercial

would watch this version of the commercial

wd prefer that to pamplemousse

if the Hyundai's a rockin'...
