I really liked the choices. I have a soft spot for Kindness’ “House” video too, I thought it was adorably awkward.
Alright Stereogum, you brought this on yourself. Let’s compare NBA players to indie bands! I’ll start us off:
Tyson Chandler – The Walkmen
Tim Duncan – Jack White (dependably exemplary)
Kyrie Irving – The Men (young, hungry, exciting)
Allen Iverson – Trail of Dead (at the time was considered a legend in the making, in retrospect kind of depressing to think about)
Kobe Bryant – Flaming Lips (one of the best ever, consistently weird, with a mild sinister undercurrent)
Russell Westbrook – Deerhunter (amazingly talented, occasionally unhinged, prone to shooting 20+ times/ playing My Sharona for 20+ minutes)
Greg Oden – Best Coast (crippled before the career can get going by knee injuries/lack of talent)
I AM A BANANA!
Dave converses with King Sunny Ade’s long lost cousin, Duke Snowy Britches.
ah, and now it appears Gummer 1 is talking to himself…that’s a problem
I like how the argument here is going:
Gummer 1: “your tastes suck”
Gummer 2: “no YOUR tastes suck, and so does your Mom”
Gummer 1:”well that was offensive, but your taste in music is still subpar”
Gummer 1: “that’s what your Mom said”
A half an hour later and our heroes have made up, and are spooning to a live version of “Crash”. Come into you indeed.
“Thanks again for letting me take your daughter to the Tinariwen show Mr. Deeradorian.”
Nooooo don’t fight! You’re two of my favorites!
So anyone click on the links at the end of clip? Because Songs 4 Life: The Ultimate Collection of Contemporary Christian Hits sounds fucking amazing. They’ve got the live version of “Revive Us, Oh Lord”! And they’ve got DC Talk!
WoooOOOOOOOOoooo!!
where do band shirts fall under that dictum?
Hoobastank is real music?
I believe Led Zeppelin used to be called the Low Counties Merseyset Country Lane and Jug Band. But it’s cool, not a lot of people remember that anymore…
Also Black Sabbath? Used to be called White Christmas. True story.
What about Grizzly Bear? Just a euphemism for a hairy gay man. And Animal Collective? I think we know why these animals are getting together. To have hot, homosexual animal sex, that’s why.
Oh they’ve bought in wholeheartedly. Buy one burrito bowl, get a free month’s supply of hormone therapy!
A…”Pitch”fork perhaps?
I’m sorry I couldn’t resist. Now if you’ll excuse I’ve got to batten down the hatches, a storm of downvotes is coming this way
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?

This is the worst thing since the last thing that was the worst thing.
How does it feel Stereogum? To treat me like you do?
Oh I missed you guys. I know I’m not the biggest name in the Gum commenter biz, or any name, but still. Gone for a week, and I come back to this beautiful Real Housewives-esque catfight. I applaud you fair Gummers. May your pissing contests be fruitful!
Is that you Steve Albini?
Beach House covering Gucci Mane. That is all.
How on Earth do you accuse someone of using “high falutin terms” and then turn around and use terms like sui generis in your six paragraph response? Not only that, but you tell people to “look it up”. If that doesn’t scream “I am a pretentious condescending asshole” I don’t know what does.
I don’t get it. I got more downvotes for noticing a typo than for my original dumb comment. How dare I notice my errors!
