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

On an improbably sunny midwinter day, amid green pastures and meandering cows, two unassuming musicians are waging a revolution against the established order of the recording industry. SATAN HIMSELF.

oh my god this thing goes on for six pages

xxpost, why wouldn't they just make the other girl have the same hair color?

An immense blue sky is begging for attention, but inside the darkened studio, today's work is grinding along slowly.

stop stop stop everything pomplamoose, don't you realize about the SKY. it is IMMENSE. COWS.

Vitriolic comments fired at high volume — some calling Dawn and Conte hipsters, some calling them talentless and some calling for them to be creatively executed

^^ really needed a link to this thread after this

ilx really needs to start cultivating a more 4chanish public profile

" The passage he's recording is only about 15 seconds long, but it requires a complicated series of notes played with precise timing"

Is there an incompetent music writing thread somewhere?

Ha, I was about to post that same sentence.

These guys bug me in so many ways that it's hard to find a way in, to find the one thing that bugs me more than the others. This thread was useful in that pretty much anything that was posted as twee or fey that they were compared to was indeed preferable, but that still doesn't quite explain how they hit on the formula for maximum irritability. I guess I should spend another four hours rereading the thread and see which arguments convinced me the last time.

Their first album, Please Rut Me, was made in twenty minutes. Their second took even longer

"The instrument he is playing has large keys, but it requires the complex coordination of both hands"

Megapiano?

"Only twelve notes that a man can play, but each and every one is a potential labor of Hercules"

"She sings a number of words, all different apart from two"

Hyundai should set up one of those keep your hands on the car contests with the added challenge of a constantly jammin' pomp-moose to make it even tougher.

excellent idea

Betting line would be over/under 2.75 hours and 4 attempted strangulations.

Heh. This week's cover:

how are they changing it? are we set for hundreds of copycat
pomplamooses? :-(

Now, more than likely.

put on a shirt male pomplamoose, you are outdoors

is that hose supposed to remind me of a flaccid penis, and if so who is the flaccidness directed at, the music industry or pomplamoose.

It's aimed at NYCNative, it seems.

i know someone with that same hat, she is a very nice girl and is nearly two years old.

the worst part about these people is that they spell fucking pamplemousse wrong

yes, that is the worst part

sorry you granddads can't get behind the voice of a new generation

I cd get behind one of them, amirite?

ugh, he's taken

by you

I take it he likes to take his guitar to the outhouse

the body language in that shot is so not them

C'est affreux a dire mais je ne peux pas blairer sa gueule ( a elle).

you like his though?

He's just sub-par Giamatti. She reminds me of a kid I used to have to babysit and whom I secretly wished would play in traffic.

what kind of asshole pose is he striking.

What a dick these Pampaloosers are. If I ever see them, I'm going to kick them in the genitals.

just kick them

Where can I get a dress like that?

Blows Up World

I'm totally down with the Pomplamoose two minute hate, but I do have to wonder just how many people here would trade places with them... having enough $$$ coming in to be able to buy a house, inflict your creativity on the world, do whatever the hell you want, etc. You just have to be able to withstand the backlash.

my disdain for them has very little to do with their success

I'm not making a link between hatred and success, but it's interesting to see some of these grass roots 1000 true fans/Long Tail stories in action.
