Anyone been noticing the juvenile/excessively negative utube comments? Think they'll act as any sort of deterrence, or promote the band to far greater heights? It's sort of hard to ridicule these dudes without making an ass of yourself.

Great thread, thank you for the LOLs and Halo Benders Real Stories of the Highway Patrol footage. Yeah, I hear more Beat Happening in M.I.A. than in anything else these days.
Wrong age and hair.
And that kimya dawson video is reason #34 Diablo Cody needed to be put in the stocks for a month back in 2008.
Blame the director: Diablo wanted classic rock.
Also: A kind word for Kimya: She played an amazing (I'm imagining unpaid) set at the memorial show for Eyedea at First Avenue, and for a not entirely enthusiastic crowd.
And I wouldn't knock the amateurish blank vocal thing handed down from Mo Tucker through the Shop Assistants/Heather from Beat Happening/etc. (call it twee if you want) to bands that will probably abuse it because the moving thing in the great ones is how vulnerable the approach can make the vocalists seem, one reason the Owls are/were awesome.

i don't have anything against it, myself. but the poignant beauty of ordinary humanity - the bathetic infatuation with clumsy frailty and endearing failure, as communicated by amateurish blankness and infantile affectation - has been exploited to death for decades by indie and post-indie and would-be-indie everything. in movies like juno and thumbsucker, on indie prints and greeting cards featuring awkward line drawings of birds (currently on sale in a bunch tiny shops on 5h in park slope), in back issues of mcsweeney's, in album after pitchfork-approved album of wounded & comforting soft sweater teatime glockenspiel music listened to, most likely, by someone you know and love. it's by no means an ineffective artistic stance: it works, communicates, gets a feeling across. but it's also so far beyond played that it's become a sickening zombie sham, a horrible cloud of kitsch that sucks the life out of everything it touches.
this hyundai ad is just the they live moment - the point at which the whole world gets to try on the glasses and see what's really been going down.

i.e. it's gone mainstream, like melisma or punk guitar distortion.

You kids. I feel your pain, I'm just recognizing suddenly that it's your pain, not mine--and I'm somebody who for a while was keeping tally of how many indie films were being ruined by "indie" soundtracks. Is this an age/identity thing? I'm happy to see indie killed dead, my God, so "I'm Sticking With You" (playing in my head since '84) and Jamboree (since '92) can go back to being punk rock, or rock and roll, or whatever.
