creatively bankrupt newish chillwave/post-AnCo bands whose names are just '80s ephemera

plax's point is pretty much the most clear-headed defense of chillwave i've ever read.

having a weird nostalgia/life moment watching MTV30 where I got major nostalgia chills from seeing an old episode of Remote Control, but watched like 7 minutes of the TRL finale before I realized that I WAS IN THE FUCKING ROOM WHEN THEY TAPED IT and didnt remember half those ppl even being there.

I kind of feel like if you get major nostalgia chills watching a non-musical mtv show, you have a lot of nerve criticizing other people's musical nostalgia.

i said i got a chill watching it, i'm not going to start a fucking band around it

lol, fair enough

man, there was really some shit called "the pudding pops"??? the fuck are people doing

not 100% sure this is the same band but

Pudding pops is punk-variety pop culture reference. Another termbo band.

what about the "white"

The Worthless VHS Idiots

i just like lo fi reverby synth music :(

band of horse's ass more like

The Underground Railroad to Candyland

how did band of horses end up in the post-anco thread

I just got sent an EP which is (a) a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-based conceptual work and (b) on a cartridge for the 'Zhiliton' which was apparently a Super Nintendo pirate machine only available in Lithuania in the early 90s.

can any of your readers beat this?

that is awesome

They're just ripping off Rude Dog & The Dweebs' album 'Phenom!' which was only playable on Mario Paint

new CD showed up at my radio station today by The Hanna Barbarians...

was the artwork by this boner? Id love to have beeen in some of the crits he had during his 2 years at the RCA

Saw these at a recent art show. Actually kinda cool.

Could have sworn I saw a band called Com Truise opening for Neon Indian.

discussed upthread. Com Truise is actually pretty good though.

the hannah-barbera reference is not 80s ephemera so much as general 'vintage' nostalgia, seems more like a 90s band name than anything

and yeah, com truise has grown on me lately (still much prefer ford + lopatin tho)

Reptar

ah, reptar

would totally smash dude on our right, but their music is pretty much like foster the people 2.1

The thought if three grown men agreeing to name their band "Reptar" makes me sick to my fucking stomach

there's one press photo where dude is dressed up like a teletubby

http://flagpole.com/images/jpgs/2011/06/01/Threats-Reptar_b.jpg

hey, remember teletubbies?

what a fucking terrible band name

i also have interesting opinions on rap music

and an orange beard

what's the dude in the gold suit dressed up as

http://i.imgur.com/ZILM6.jpg

would you say that it was "reptarded?"

man

just got it, the dude is wearing a c3po costume

hence the cables that kind of look like the cover to the loon

is the dude holding a big fish to remind us all of "big mouth billy bass" or w/e

like if the bandmembers referred to themselves as reptards, and their music as reptarded, i think it would be funny

The last one is kind of poetic in it's tragedy

I don't think you're looking hard enough

I want to go back in time and hire some bullies to pound on them because they clearly did not get their asses kicked enough in school

All those band pictures look like Pianosaurus.

File under "indefensible."

BUT ARE THEY CHILLWAVE?

Apparently they're on tour with Foster The People.

I am currently listening to their music.

It's like...if you thought Foster The People were "the absolute worst" YOU WERE WRONG

And they spend an entire song/career proving that point.

their music is pretty much like foster the people 2.1

We're way past the 80s here, but Xander Harris has/have a new album out: http://xanderfuckingharris.blogspot.com/
