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

I mean, if you're going to go to THAT scale, you have to go all the way and not just pick out the bits that make you look good

how many people attempt to arrange music ask yrself that smart guy

i kind of like the car they drive

another way to look at it: how many people do you know personally who could 'arrange some shit' as good as this

"A lot of people can do this" is not and never has been equivalent to "Anyone can do this"

lol

I know a ton of people who could have done what they did, which does not actually have any bearing on whether it takes talent or skill to do it.

You basically are being an idiot.

ill give you skill but yr definition of talent is either v generous or you know idiotic

man there's no such thing as talent

see how you have devalued the concept djperry

I WIN

you are very talented

I do cop to using "talent" and "skill" kind of interchangeably; "talent" in and of itself is semi-meaningless because all it really is is an indication of how quickly you can pick something up

i feel like their 'talent' level is not noteworthy even if it may be statistically better than average, this is especially true in the context of ilx where they are notably below average in terms of the generally more pro music we usually talk abt

to me talent is something that jumps out and engages, some level of brilliance, never just o hey p good you mustve worked at that for a while - although obvs that definition has a lot to do w/putting in hard work too

Talent is abundant and dispensable - other factors count for I'd say at least precisely 95.8% of everything good in any artistic endeavour.

buncha gladwells the lot of u

just what i needed

her real talent is planting churches in godless europe, this music thing is the devil's work

yall set a low bar for privilege and envy - i mean u know there are people who own islands and jets right - show some ambition

i'm more of a renter. if i could rent an island for a week and get that out of my system, i'd be fine. and jets are terrible for the environment; just gimme a jetpack.

so many lols. i know that when i think of europe, i think of a GREAT LACK OF CHURCHES.

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

what - the new ones?

oh wait, nevermind...

they is a couple

this thread is amazing but too long- just stopping by to ask: are they evangelical Xtians or not?

just curious . . .

they are not really husband and wife, they are brother and sister.

she's my daughter AND my sister

pamplemoose dude is a time-traveler?

girl is a pokemon

hyundai's trangenics lab fully operational

she's a church going girl who probably takes it up the butt.

Embarrassing confession: I kind of choke up when I see the Blue Valentine trailer because of that Ukulele song. It's really purty.

At 1,200 posts or whatever ILM's contrarianism will usually have come full circle in a thread, and we're almost to the point of re-evaluating Pomplamoose into one of the top acts of 2010. By Monday anything less than a top 15 placing in Pazz and Jop will be TOO LOW

liked the "Beat It" cover

do you also like the screams of flayed children, because that is what their "Beat It" cover sounds like to me

so it's a literal interpretation?

was this thread as good as or better than the Pitchfork Reviews Reviews thread? i missed that one.

oh this is so much better

So much better. We need some kind of King of Threads nominating system. Though the DMB thread was kind of all-time amazing.

I think the best thread ILM ever had was either DMB or Janet Jackson vs Madonna

(one of) the problem(s) with the prr thread was that you had to actually read prr.

well, not so much that YOU had to, but that other people were, and then were conscientiously quoting it at you so that they could make fun of it

I reread the DMB thread a while back, and I was still dying with laughter. It doesn't pale with time.

do pomplemonde cover DMB?
