can we talk about this video (Hot Fruit's "Falling off the Grid")

I love this

lmao at a girl's comment on my fb link to this video: "i went from being mildly interested to fast-forwarding to see if it got better to eye rolling to i wish good music could exist again to i need to start a country band to never mind, i think i hate all music, including my own."

mission accomplished, at least she wont start a terrible country band

I should have been clearing out these cupboards, but I've been listening to all these tracks instead. I love how there's absolutely no compromise made to the listener at all, no attempt to make the music. Some might label the music as incompetent, but it reminds me of Trout Mask Replica - this is is music that's deliberately been made this way.

otm

my computer at work is v slow but i can't wait to get home so i can watch this in glorious 1080p

no attempt to make the music palatable.
(is what I meant damn this kepboard)

yes yes give them a show yes YES

no attempt to make the music

this is actually a p good descriptor imo

this video is awesome

file me under "confused but generally supportive"

<3

File me under "I'm into shit and blood this".

their youtube views and comments have gone thru the roof

"im gonna make the sky cum"

they just linked this thread on their fb HI LADIES!!!

what? yes! that's so great.

I like it. Reminds me of the Inflatable Boy Clams but also different.

i was sold the moment the chain hit pink ectoplasm

I have watched this
So
Many
Times

AmazinG.

it went from 1,000 to 11,000 views over the last couple days

Yeah I think Everett True talking about it has helped it break bigger.

Hey, if you're still reading this thread, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to the UK. There are at least a few good promoters who are either already loving you or are into similar stuff. We can make this happen, plz plz plz.

Ha, that's indirectly my fault (my friend passed it on to him). Love the review, though, actually.

First watch of this I was all
"Urrrgh what is this shit!"
Ten watches later
Friend "What are you up to?"
Me "I wanna make the sky cum, I wanna make the sky cum."
Fantastic song. Love the rest of the tunes.

I knew as soon as I heard there was a reddit thread that I didn't want to read the reddit thread

Sometimes I think that reddit is just an idiot magnet.
I'm listening to this on repeat. It's a 9 minute song, but it doesn't feel anything like as long as 9 minutes. It's not like 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which feels like a real chore to listen to even once.

im scared it was a "friend" of mine who posted it on reddit after seeing it on my fb
the person who started the thread is from east tn :/

this is pretty badass

it is fantastic

this is great, thanking you roxy

you absolutely have to give them a show, you will regret it forever if not.

♪ i'm gonna make the sky cum ♫

Like a grown up Shaggs Flight of the Conchords collabo styled by Gary Wilson.

I'm a safety net if you're not scared
I'll take you there
Make up new metaphors

I'm not gonna make you food just cause I'm a girl
I mean, I like making food, so we can make food?
But like, you have to - you better help me!

*Waits for Mrisa M to come and denounce as music industry fraud*

this actually felt a lot shorter than 9 and a half minutes somehow

oops, it's over, time to listen to it again

it is insulting to compare them to the shaggs! the shaggs were great, but constructed and unaware! these are grown women yall

grown!

Specifically said "grown up Shaggs," roxy, sheesh. You can never please anybody in this url.

im just saying, james! no h8

no need to compare them to anything. just ride the wave.

just try it, try it, try it try it out

yeah, i'm feeling the "no attempt to make the music" aspect, but love it anyway

all his friends were condiments

and damn that "shit and blood" hook is an earworm. singing it to myself all day.

Serious staying power. It walks this thin line between "Serious Feminist Performance Art" and "just some people fucking around, fucking chill, don't take it too seriously already" that makes me love both sides even more. Which may be an obvious thing to say.

doi!

this still rules

yep!

I have made the claim that this is my favourite song of the '10s. Think it is probably true.

I was thinking about this last week.

I managed to catch their live show. It lived up to the promise of the video but was way too short! stupid DIY aesthetic where the shitty bands get as long on stage as the good ones.

it's obviously a work of genius

RULES!

It is fantastic.

use your motherfucking inside voice

try it just try it out! try it try it try it!

Still awesome.

I mean I like making food so we can make food but like, you have to... you better help me

just rewatched the other day!

was my first thought when the idea of a music video ballot poll was floated

I still think about this song fairly frequently.

I still listen to this song fairly frequently!

I just searched for "Hot Fruit" on Apple Music to see if this song was on there, but all the results were about Gaz Coombes.
