Yeah, I have to echo the Vedder sentiment. Aside from just his whole ridiculous awesomeness, he spawned a whole generation of shitty alt-rock imitators. Not many singers today are trying to be Axl Rose, but everyone wants to be Eddie Vedder.
That's the funniest joke you've had in a while, Stereogum. Way to go.
Is this supposed to look like that Adam Sandler movie about Hannukah?
Chris Cornell? Oh wait, he's stuck in 1973, right?
It sounds like they're playing two shitty songs at once.
just saw them in DC, they were pretty tight live, both in the vernacular and instrumentally :P
I feel like the song could be completely different if I heard it in different quality. But it sounded like a non-album Coldplay track...really catchy, kind of bland, with a seizure-like head-bobbing beat. I can dig it.
Gobama! That's a sweet rally. I especially dig the Bob Boilen-sounding guy singing along in the crowd on Spirit in the night.
The back little flutter thing totally sounds a Game Boy game after a while...Tetris perhaps? Jurassic Park anyone?
That's terrible, he's so awesome. Get well soon JJ!
aren't dancers humans?
The article says The National's on the soundtrack, but their not on that list...what song are they using?
The purple shirt definitely looks like Che....0mg!!1 c0nsp1racy!!1
Black Keys? My Morning Jacket? The National? Pearl Jam? Oh, and the Killers of course.
i'd be more impressed if they covered this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU
"Gish" is the noise that Billy makes in my dreams when I punch him in the face.
I feel like people passed over them quicker than they should have. The album was quite good.
I like it...it shows the oddness but in a classier way.
We should all cover Prince songs now and put them on youtube. Little Purple Rain, anyone?
Promising track, something definitely different. I like that it doesn't try to be so epic like a lot of X &Y. And dude, seriously, get off them already.
This is completely unrelated but they're playing Spoon on The Simpsons right now.
First REM, now Feist? I knew Colbert was the man but this is getting awesome!
It's a step in the right direction, not the same beat as Clocks that plagued like all of X&Y, and sounds kind of built for giant concerts. With all that said, I still can't figure out if I like it or not...
I have to agree with the backlash against the backlash. Wait till it comes out before you get all defensive and uppity toward em.
Yeah they did a good job of putting the decent acts across two days so we'd have to pay more...lame.
I thought it was African-American Keys, Kids, and Lips?
You're not my budd-eh, guy! I'm not your guy, friend! You're not my friend, budd-eh!
Don't most bands have EPs before LPs? So this is technically their first album? So how would they evolve from non-existence? I think that just because they dragged out their opening by waiting to release a proper LP, people (ie everyone above) are going to be disappointed because it's the same. But how is it the same as nothing?
That guy looks like Kevin James.
Ok: I'm 18 years old, can someone please explain to me his and Pavement's significance and where one can go to get some type of context? Props on the Nickelback bash.
Catchy and babes with accents. What more does one need?
Yeah, Delta Spirit definitely needs more coverage, their stuff is awesome
That was amazing. Eddie's the man and we definitely need a lot more of this kind of stuff.
That comment could just be about Highly Suspicious lol. (Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh)
Moooooney, do they have dates yet besides Bonnaroo?
