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

honestly I don't hate this — dude sounds breathy but I think that's just because his voice isn't that strong and it's a really fuckin' hard song to sing!

that Self cover is kind of great, actually

love her

sorta like this, might have to start using it:

Did Michael McDonald invent the word "nostalgite" (combination of naivete and nostalgia) in this song?
I like it but I think it's a bit too close the original especially in the vocals.

@roesmoker ha ha, I am an idiot, according to random lyrics on the internet that is actually "nostalgic tale" - I always thought it was nostalgite. A Kiss That Guy moment for me!

As an advertising professional, I ask you...do hipsters care about deck protection? Do Pamplamoose fans understand the damage water can do to an unprotected deck?

only like a 1/5 of the way through the thread but i have to giggle at

i think the ads are totally stupid btw, mostly because as mentioned they were airing this shit during the height of football season when normally the ads are all about how you're a homosexual with euro tendencies and mommy issues if you don't drink bud lite, or howie long calling you a pussy for not having the right kind of truck./

real men drink 'lite' beer.

x-post to bernard - yeah, self was a single dude in the studio, but I knew a bunch of the guys that toured with him as his back up band

i bet Pamplamoose own a deck

Is it wrong that I am basically like "oh, an Italian Shirley Bassey" with Rita Pavone?

Yes imo

marine girls + sarah records circa 1965. so beautiful.

Think Blossom Dearie doing "I'm Hip" is patient zero.

(t darin — makes sense. he/they're a hard act to google!)

those miller lite commercials where the hot bartender chicks call dudes pussies are so bizarre

real men drink 'lite' beer.
Empirical studies have shown that Americans have lousy taste in beer

i wonder how much lite beer it would take to get me drunk? it would have to be a lot, i'll bet.

don't catch the 3.2 flu

Start counting!

Thanks for those songs Scott! They are beautiful.

can't remember the last time i had a trad dad american piss beer. probably a pbr. cuz i'm hip like that. but it was a long time back.

yeah, aren't those great! glad you enjoyed them. they were ahead of their twee time.

60's twee is so much more enthusiastic than modern twee!

Indeed

there's something inherently bored about modern twee. detached.

since they're obvs the Buzz Band of the mome, I can't wait for their return next Holiday Season (with Baby Pomplemoose in tow)

Rita Pavone is a Sanpaku sufferer, too. Weird.

I don't think it's sanpaku when you're tilting your head down.

there's a similar dude (I don't think it's a band) called Self — I'll post his "What a Fool Believes" cover if I can find it

just to clarify, dude only did that toys only thing for one album called gidzmodgery. i know this will seem hard to believ3e but the live touring band was totally fucking full of fierce awesome musicians.

fiercely bashing their toy pianos

I can't wait for their return next Holiday Season (with Baby Pomplemoose in tow)

I played in band with self's touring drummer back in the early 90's when he was slumming with crap musicians like myself!

like fucking poignant commercials for insurance companies, the whole thing isn't bad cuz it cheapens indie rock, it's bad cuz it ad agencies are so hip and cool and good production values now, it almost cheapens the *idea* of emotions and feeling....

Not sure much has changed since Don Draper days.

Which isn't to take away from your hate, which I love.

I feel like I have read somewhere a philosopher or sociologist saying the same basic thing but way pre-indie-music -- in fact I think he said that irony and cynicism were reactions to this cheapening by advertising, although now irony and cynicism are a huge part of advertising.

many xposts, but leave los camp! out of this imo. their commercial is for regular not lite beer, after all.

no

kind of surprising to think we're over half a decade removed from iron & wine being used in m&m commercials, also this is at least four years old:

well thanks for that

you shouldn't let me have good things

wow, they must be filtering their comments with a fine tooth comb every 5 minutes

why do I always get otherworldly help preventing me from being banned?!

the only thing pomplamoose can do now is some kind of double reverse fakeout sort of thing and put this thread in their electronic press kit; kind of like how Robert Fripp would put all those years of accumulated bad reviews in the liner notes of Crimson anthologies.

heh, I think fripp is OCD or something

Cap'n I love your enthusiasm but that was probly not cool.

Yep.
