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

Pomplacalf

"I guess I kinda don't like how there's such a pedestal for music culture and especially for band culture, it just feels fake; it feels like smoke and mirrors. I feel like music doesn't have to be like that. It can be something that's very normal and very accessible."

fwiw they're talking about the way their videos play out: like the kutiman "thru you" thing, all the images on the screen correspond to sounds being produced in the song. so like if there's four-part harmony they shove in four shots of the girl singing all the different parts, etc.

i guess they imagine a world where no one understands multi-track recording

i mean you gotta sing it four times, right. like that actually happens in reality, for your four-part harmony you gotta sing four times.

I was today years old when I learned the guy in Pomplamoose is the co-founder/CEO of Patreon

chillingly prophetic

the 'moose has juice

man this has made me long strongly for the days when pomplamousse was the most offensive thing we had to talk about
:(

Amazing that with all the money they're raking in from Patreon itself they're still milking fans for $10k a month.

kudos to those twee ass bitches

is this the band that made a music video to explain why they got divorced

Given such a gift for the separation of fools from their monies, it's no wonder they've attracted some many Alt-Righters to the service.

Just realized I have been conflating them with Karmin

karmin are like 35% more drama kid which is to say theyre 100% drama kid

lmao aren't all the "alt-right"/"intellectual dark web" folks like Jordan Peterson boycotting patreon because they banned Milo

it was intellectual titan sargon of akkad's banning that caused the uproar iirc, they've long since abandoned milo

No idea where else to put this, he's obviously supernaturally blessed with the gift of making music but the weapons-grade smugness in the way they all telegraph the music is at once heroic and confusing.

wow i hate that, good job
that fucking faux-bobby mcferrin-mouth-rhythm intro to the third song

Jacob Collier is an English singer, arranger, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in London, England. In 2012, his homemade split-screen video covers of popular songs, such as Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing", began to go viral on YouTube.

yes, of course

On January 1 2018, Collier began working on Djesse, an ambitious four-volume, 40-song album. It's been described as a "journey through every musical genre under the sun",[citation needed] featuring more than two dozen artists and ensembles.

great

yeah, jacob is a musical genius, clearly blessed with a supernatural understanding of harmony, but whose original music i can't stand for more than half a second. he'd prob be a pretty good producer.

Meanwhile, Karmin is busy flipping houses in Studio City

“their hits include”

citation needed

I had literally forgotten about the very existence of Karmin.

That house is beautiful, though.

Can't believe the writer completely snubs the Qveen Herby era.

YouTube keeps telling me I might like this trending new video that is apparently nataly dawn covering “truth hurts” on solo banjo and I assure the algorithm that no, I might not

*would like to assure wtf

"Patreon has started a program called Patreon Capital, which grants micro-loans to creators. It’s essentially a cash advance: you get money now in exchange for some of your future earnings plus a small premium. It’s different from Patreon’s usual business — which is enabling direct subscriptions to people whose work you like, then taking a cut off the top — but it will diversify the company’s revenue, which should make Patreon a more sustainable business."

slowly reinventing the traditional music label model, but with fewer obligations?

I just watched the first half of "We've Got To Break Up" again and I am transported back into a 2012 lol vortex

Trying to imagine eight more nausea inducing words than "Nataly Dawn covering “Truth Hurts” on solo banjo" other than "Donald Trump reelected President of the United States."

Oddly, this just came up in a Facebook ad for me today and I was like, “Hmm yeah this is kinda cool, that bassist and drummer are tight... something a little corny about it though...that keyboard part sounds a little too anxious... why is that guy making such dumb faces...oh”

for $60 a year you get to join their message board

for $120 a year you get to remix them

for $420 a year you get two tickets to a gig, and a trading card of a band member every month

how much to murder them

You forgot to mention that the $420 Ultimate SP Experience also gets your name in the credits of their weekly videos, PLUS the chance to remix them, PLUS message board membership! Murdering them costs 20-to-life but is probably a bargain.

hmm

maybe for $120 you could dismember them then reassemble them as you chose, swapping heads or feet for example, and claim you misinterpreted "remix", would probably stand up in court

in retrospect we should have guessed that this whole thing would result in a pivot to payday loans

Wonder how they’re doing Sheltering in Ukelele.

Pomplamoose are back and they’ve got a whole new message for 2020 pic.twitter.com/JbLnbAWuiI

holy shit, that woman in the Maps video can sing. and that is all that I will say about her here in this public forum ... yup ... that's all.

some dude also said this about her:

she has a cover of one of my favorite later Prince songs on the R&B charts right now, pretty legit imo

xpost thank you, unregistered!

i just watched this entire video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeDBSwVneyw

patreon guy says that in 5 years the 'the starving artist' will be a thing of the past because 'creators' will be 'in charge' - as a result of better admin tools and easy monetization on various platforms. it will be just as viable and respectable to be a 'creator' as a teacher, doctor or lawyer

lame youtube covers guy getting a commercial then turning into a startup guy is some perfect it couldnt get any worse than this type shit

i think he might be jimmy fallon wearing indie drag
