In Which I Ask for Advice RE: Deerhoof

<< < (3/4) > >>

squawk:
Deerhoof is amazing. When The Runners Four came out I was thirteen; I listened to it and was utterly confused until I heard "O'Malley, Former Underdog." Then I understood.
Really though, they are probably the band that opened my ears to funny atonal sounds and I love them to death.

And yeah Tommy, "Twin Killers" is like the fucking rockingest song ever or something

Valrus:
I gotta say I'm pretty curious what exactly could be called "boring" about Friend Opportunity. In fact I'm'a throw it on right now.

Tommy, I've seen a few references to Runners Four being tripartite. Do you agree with this assessment and, if so, could you explain it to me?

Also "Spirit Ditties of No Tone" is just the most incredible freaking song.

imagist42:
In all fairness, I haven't yet had the chance to listen to all of Friend Opportunity. Just a couple songs here and there in the background when I'm over at someone else's place or something, not really paying attention.

If someone were to remedy that, of course, my opinion might change...

IronOxide:
Tommy, when you said six and I read your post, I was worried that you weren't going to include "Scream Team", which may be my favorite Deerhoof song.

I'm glad that you came to your senses.

Also, a little thing on Deerhoof. In all of music, you will never meet a group of fans that are so unabashedly into the music than those who follow Deerhoof, and you will never see a band having more fun. What they lack in depth (which they sometimes do), the make up for in the fact that they love what they are doing, and people can feel that. Sometimes people make fun of the way Deerhoof sound, or call them pretentious, but the fact of the matter is they are about as far away from pretentious as you can get. From John Dieterich's infectious guitar to Greg Saunier's often frantic drumming to Satomi Matsuzaki's singsong vocals, they are a band that exemplify what the modern rock scene was, until them, missing.

*Sights*:
I had never listened carefully to the six songs in your list.

Thanks, tommy.

Thanks.
