devendra is the shittiest live act i have ever seen. about as exciting as a bucket of dead fish. he sucks, and so does his gimmick. i can't understand why anyone would waste their time and money on this shite when they could be listening to "my people were fair and had stars in their hair..."

Maybe because it's "sky," not "stars." That comes later, dildo.

i am a fan of devendra. first saw him a couple years back just before the transformation to the live electric band that features one of my good friends from home on drums, been into him ever since... one of the few acts my fiance lets me play in the car without hassling!

He needs to take a bath and wash his hair.

I like Devendra although I have to be in the mood for his voice and silliness. I saw him live and it was ok. I was just pissed he only played 1 hr 20 minutes which included only 6 songs off the new album and letting to idiots from the audience play live up on the stage half way through. I really like Vetiver a lot more(a lot more). Seen him to(Andy) and he was great. One of my favorite releases last year.

Savage Clone · 01.09.2007, 12:13 PM

An hour and 20 minutes is a pretty long set to me.

Vetiver were a little too coffeeshoppy sounding for me. Pleasant, but not particularly memorable.
Plus the guy was one of those "barefoot onstage" guys. For some reason that always drives me crazy. I don't know why.

pussy shit is pussy shit, I'd just prefer it if the perpetrator of said pussy shit had a pussy

an hour and 20 minute set isn't so long when you play one Vetiver song, one song that another touring band member wrote, and two terrible songs from audience members. I get annoyed when Sonic Youth plays so much new stuff and only a few old songs but I expected Devendra to at least play more than a third of his album. Plus I drove over two hours to see the show. I wouldn't do it again.

I can't say coffee shop sounding and barefooted are very credible criticisms to me. When I've seen him play he looked like his was dressed in consignment clothes, but he had shoes on and wasn't in a coffee shop like when I saw Six Organs.

Savage Clone · 01.09.2007, 02:51 PM

What I meant by "coffeeshop sounding" was just that it was a very "safe" example of the genre, and not really all that distinctive. Not really offering anything new, but pleasant enough listening. I would say the same of the likes of Marissa Nadler. Well recorded and well played, but not that exciting to my ears and a little too sweet.
Barefooted onstage is a completely prejudicial and inconsequential criticism though. Definitely my own problem.
