Just heard deerhunter for the first time.

Hahahaha.

you should probably dump on Animal Collective, Frank Zappa and Pitchfork while they're still the cool thing to hate around here too.
|
I love Deerhunter. If you hate Deerhunter, then, you know, that's ok.
But this thread is not ok. |

Anyone who hates this song can just fuck off : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaO4oQs3Wkk
hell, i'm not even too into deerhunter anymore, i've not even listened to their last album. but claiming that they are the blandest band ever (especially when talking about cryptograms, which is still an amazing album andsucceeds melting diverse, simple yet catchy pop songs with great ambient layers and atmospheres - hell, they're not signed on Kranky for nothing -) is totally stupid. they're not great, but they wrote great songs. i think it's interesting to notice how this board has changed; you would probably get insulted if you did a similar thread against Insane Clown Posse (just dropping this one because I know you're a fan, Eugene), while it's okay to do one against Deerhunter. Weird. (now everyone go listen to MOON WIRING CLUB) |
they're on the episode of conan I'm about to watch.
never heard a single note off their records yet. I'm so retro haha. |

I don't think there's anyone on this board who would defend ICP, aside from me, and maybe NR (to a much lesser extent). If anyone was doing the insulting, it'd be me - ha! It should also be noted that 3 out of the 7 people that posted in this thread so far ARE defending deerhunter. That's a lot more than I've ever seen back me up any time my wicked clown fetish becomes a subject of discussion. Even if what you claim were the case, I don't believe it would necessarily be a bad thing. I remember when I first started posting here, and mentioned KoRn in the "What are you listening to?" thread. I was scared shitless that my n00b ass would be executed on the spot. To my knowledge, acts like KoRn or ICP (who are both a lot more unique than most would give them credit for) were not discussed here whatsoever. But as it turns out, there were PLENTY of KoRn fans on the board - ASP, Derek, Nik, Glice, etc. The same thing happened with Avril Lavigne. I think I'm losing track of my initial point, but what I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't consider it an unhealthy change if the general consensus of the board altered to bring more respect, and perhaps a fresh new outlook towards underrated artists that are generally the laughing stock of the music world, and not be so afraid to take stabs at pretentious dingleberries like deerhunter (my opinion, not your's), who are the current talk of the town. We are SYG after all, it doesn't get much more alternative than this. I know you were just taking note, but if you honestly do feel that way, and it does bother you to an extent, I'd like to formally apologize for infecting this board with my clown love. But, I must inform you, I fully intend to be down 'til I'm dead in the ground. :o |

Animal Collective didn't really hit the fan until Merriweather Post Pavillion. That one was just... just... fuck, y'know? I'll always dig Sung Tongs though, even though I haven't been tempted to give it a spin in years.

wow cumik buk gih.

Quote:
I find it odd that you'd call Turn It Up a mini-masterpiece. It's gott the least personality of any of their albums. To me it's their most forgettable. But whatever. And to say they've yet to make a good album... well... everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Everyone's got an asshole. Or whatever the saying is. |
Quote:
yeah I'll defend the hell out of ICP. Even if I don't listen to them anymore, every society needs clowns. |

Stereolab ripped other people off in interesting ways though!
|
i know, thats why i said "in the good way"
|
speaking of Atlas Sound adam, how do you (and everyone) feel about AS? I mean, it's definitely a different sound from Deerhunter.
I'm a big fan (surprised right?) |
Quote:
Especially Frank Zappa. The band Pitchfork is awesome but I know that isn't who you are talking about because you are a hipster. |
Quote:
yeah I sure am. |

Fluorescent Grey is good.
I guess I have boring, predictable, safe taste. (Shrug.) At least I've fooled myself into believing I have "experimental" taste. So that's good. well off to read Pitchfork so I know which bands are safe to pledge my allegiance to next... |
noisereductions, you should listen to:
Quote:

heard all except Duster. (At least I don't remember Duster). Bedhead is good. Codeine is very good. Low is great. Actually THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE kills me. Amazing album. Ever hear their Misfits covers bootleg?
|
Haha no I've not.
I COULD LIVE IN HOPE is my favourite Low recording. |
I don['t give a fuck about pfork adam, but sometimes it's weird that someone says "I love this band" and yr like "they're boring, safe, not as expereimental as all these bands I know"
|
I was really just being silly with the pfork thing. Kind of saying that hating on deerhunter was "old hat" already... much like pfork.
I guess yr right it's not weird to state opinion when asked I just mean that sometimes (and I dont think you mean it this way) you come across as a bit shitting on other ppl's tastes. me: I like deerhunter you: they're so boring/safe/not-experimental-enough I don't know. Maybe I'm too "fragile". I'll get over it. It's just a msg board. But I just feel like if I was taking to somebody "IRL" and I was like "oh yeah I love (this thing)" and they were like "that thing is so boring and safe blah blah" I'd probably not feel like talkign anymore cuz I'd feel like they were looking down on me like they're taste was far superior. |

that title was something yelled at B. Cox by an ignorant audience member. What are you trying to say exactly? technically it's called "Turn It Up, Faggot" -- the quotation marks are part of the title, denoting it's a quote. |
Quote:
taht sounds awesome. I always found MSI really interesting and fun. |
too much discussion abuot a bad band.
|
Quote:
and BTW this is exactly what I'm talking about. You probably have a million CD's by bands you like with shitty titles. But somehow THIS means that this band that some of us are professing being fans of is proof that they are unintelligent and have no artistic worth?????? Wow. |
Quote:
those members probably left cuz they had such bad taste, huh? |
yeah it's a horrible title, but it's a little um much to sum about a band's artistic merit because of the title of their first album. Many bands' first albums are self-title. That's fucking lazy. But y'know... Sonic Youth have a lot of artistic merit and I wouldn't call them lazy even if their first album title is lazy. I just think it's a weak ass argument to even try to sum up the sonic SOUNDS of a band becuz you think their album title isn't good.
|
also, her'es a shitty title by a band you like: Lick My Decals Off, Baby
I guess we can all write him off as having no artistic worth too? |
Quote:
of course it's awesome -- you like it, and you have better taste than everyone else here. |
the bass on "Nothing Ever Happened" is great.

Joe divulged my name to you all recently. It's Brad. This board is fucking dead lately. It's just me, you and Joe now most of the time. Where are you wrking now?? |
I thoght you quit recently or something?

Cause he's an ironic hipster faggot. They aren't THAT bad of a band. It's obvious by your "new rock heroes" quote that you dont like them because of their hype. You might not like their music, or whatever, but if noone had heard of them and they were never famous you would def NOT be shitting on them so hard. It's just the truth. I've never read pitchfork but I know friends of friends of deerhunter. They have a few really good psychedelic "ballads" if you will. But they dont have a good enough high energy side to match their bleak sad side...so it just becomes redundant and boring. I think they are boring as fuck, BUT...I dont think they are a terrible band. Eitherway, it's funny to watch two ppl with clashing opinions go at it so hard. |
