Because you secretly hate Deerhoof but are afraid to admit it.

Join us, joooin uuus

Yup, definitely not part of any Anti-Deerhoof group on Facebook. I mean, I started the article on the Quiki but that's about it.

Oh weird I am listening to Deerhoof right now. I don't really care if people like their music or not, but watch this interview and tell me you don't wanna be friends with them.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #54 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 11:10 »

I don't! No need to watch the interview. My theory has always been that nobody likes Deerhoof but it's way too cool to like them and everyone's too afraid to come out, as it were. Think of this place as your warm bubble guys. You can be comfortable here. Just say it. Say it out loud. "Deerhoof isn't good. They're just not good at all." Say it once and you'll have moved past your denial and will be one step closer to accepting what we all know is true deep down inside.

You know you wanna.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #56 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 11:25 »

I'm pretty sure I am the original and greatest Deerhoof hater.

scarred · « **Reply #57 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 22:34 »

No understanding of Deerhoof hate! They're not fantastic but I've liked a good few of their songs, particularly off of "Friend Opportunity."

JD · « **Reply #58 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 23:09 »

Seconded. I like me some quirky music.

SilentJ · « **Reply #59 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 23:28 »

The trip to go was called off, but up until recently I was supposed to trek up to the Meadowlands and go to Bamboozle. Mostly because of Third Eye Blind and No Doubt being there. Plus it was going to the Meadowlands to see a show, sounded fun.

that said i kinda like deerhoof you cunts

This coming from a forum that introduced me to Joanna Newsom.

I'd ~~get into a~~ do Joanna Newsom ~~argument~~.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #63 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 09:55 »

Plus she actually has a good singing voice. So that's two hot things about Joanna Newsom.

i really really like one Deerhoof album. i'm not sure which one it is though...it might be called Apple O' or something like that, i forget.

i downloaded some of their other ones, thinking they would be good too and they weren't. i was pretty dissappointed.

Be My Head · « **Reply #66 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 12:58 »

To be fair...I find Joanna Newsom's voice pretty fucking irritating as well.

Does anyone know of any good festivals in Ontario or Quebec? I'm willing to go as far as the northern states.

michaelicious · « **Reply #68 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 18:33 »

Kazoo! Fest in Guelph is pretty sweet. Last year we had Forest City Lovers, Timber Timbre(!), the Hylozoists, The Racoon Wedding(!), Slim Twig, Brides(!), Jordaan Mason & the Horse Museum(!), The Burning Hell, the Bicycles(!!!!!), Sandro Perri, The Magic(!!!!!!), Richard Laviolette & the Oil Spills, Casey Mecija of Ohbijou (I am in a picture on their myspace) doing a solo performance, and a bunch of other stuff.

It goes for like 5 or 6 nights. It's spread around the city, but mostly downtown. It is amazing.

Be My Head · « **Reply #69 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 18:41 »

So how much does it cost? I might go to that, since Guelph is less than an hour away.

There's one in Montreal which has Girl Talk and the Beastie Boys attending. I'm thinking of visiting my brother (who goes to McGill) just for this reason. Man, if other people were down, I would be even more down.

You pay individually at each show. They are usually 5 bucks/pwyc unless the show is at the Dublin Street Church then it is 10, or if they are at a place called Jimmy Jazz or Wally's they are free.

I'm not sure how it'll play out this year because one of the main places called the Family Thrift Store was closed down by the city (about a week ago, actually) because they are tearing down the buillding to make room for a library.

That looks pretty cool. The roots are also playing which is awesome and coldplay which is not that awesome.

Scarychips · « **Reply #74 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 21:49 »

Ah yes, it's called Osheaga and it has a good line-up so far. Still waiting for more confirmations to see if I'll go. Also, like every year, the Festival de Jazz de Montreal and the Francofolies are must-go. Not sure if it would be considered a festival, but Pop Montreal is always awesome.

Also, I like Deerhoof.

scarred · « **Reply #75 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 21:53 »

Seattle's local festival, Bumbershoot 2009 just began announcing their acts. So far it's a fucking weird list.

Quote

Sheryl Crow / Modest Mouse / Katy Perry / Michael Franti & Spearhead / De La Soul / Raphael Saadiq / Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan / The Long Winters / Sly & Robbie & the Taxi Gang / World Party / MSTRKRFT / Roy Ayers / Common Market / UH HUH HER / Dave Alvin and The Guilty Women / Eric Hutchinson / No Age / Matt & Kim / Dead Confederate / The Cave Singers / Swollen Members / Vieux Farka Touré / Lenka / Gang Gang Dance / Todd Snider / Holy F**k / DJ Spooky / Iglu & Hartly / Low vs Diamond / Sera Cahoone / Eleni Mandell / Carrie Rodriguez / The Honey Brothers / Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head / Extra Golden / Cordero / Forgive Durden / Hey Marseilles / Adrian Xavier, and much, much more to be announced.

I mean, there's good to be had... but really? Sheryl Crow? Katy Perry? What happened to my hipster town?

A Shoggoth on the Roof · « **Reply #76 on:** 10 Apr 2009, 09:01 »

apparently even hipster towns have a thing for hot girls that pretend to be lesbians. although I'm not sure why anyone would want this.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #77 on:** 10 Apr 2009, 09:10 »

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #78 on:** 10 Apr 2009, 13:35 »

man, i was all "what happened, Bumbershoot?" reading through that list thinking "uh pass" the entire time until i got to the end...Holy Fuck and Natalie Portman's Shaved Head? i would see the fuck out of those two bands...unfortunately every other band in the lineup sucks.

and i mean, sure Modest Mouse is pretty great but i've already seen them a couple of times and i'm really not that worried about hearing them play their new stuff. sure, i like their new stuff too but it just doesn't compare to their older stuff and, having already seen them play when they were still really good, i just can't seem to care.

Yeah but you'd think that Uh Huh Her would satisfy that need. Especially since it seems like they play with Ladytron at my Showbox every other fucking week.

JD · « **Reply #80 on:** 10 Apr 2009, 21:30 »

Fun Fact: My mom once thought I was gay because I didn't like Katy Perry.

A couple of good artists do not balance out the crap that is on there. Though more would be announced...

Ernest · « **Reply #81 on:** 17 Apr 2009, 15:19 »

I like Deerhoof. Just straight up like them.

And The Jesus Lizard are playing Pitchfork this summer.
