To me, this is one of the best pop songs of the last years. these days, no one can really pull off such a great piece of songwriting like bradford cox.
@helmetboy123456 nah, they just 'extended' the line-up for this performance. It's Cole Alexander from the Black Lips on guitar and the keyboardist is Adam Bruneau from the Back Pockets.
Let me just say that I think the reasons that so many bands are compared to Velvet Underground are that 1) The VU was, is, and always will be a seminal force in rock and roll history. It's just an inescapable fact. 2) Therefore, many bands study, idolize, and yes, even imitate and draw upon the VU with clear intent, and there is no shame in that.
reminds me far more of red crayola... and many things... but not in a bad way. bit o' Bongwater... then a good dose of New York punk circa 69 to 76... then usually I hear so much Durutti Column in their sound this is a great performance though I like them when they have a crowded stage...
I like Rick Wakeman with the cape back there. These guys are such a class act. Almost without exception, their live versions are just as good as studio if not better. How often can you say that?
Aquel octubre, tú venías todos los días. Con el olor de las hojas caídas🍂 y mariguana en nuestros bolsillos, nos poníamos a tocar. 🎷 Pero desde que te fuiste, esta ya no es una casa. 😕😥
@Trippylaud there will always be at least one troll on every UA-cam video! Don't mind them and their incessant need to troll. And i agree, Bradford's vocals in this performance are solid. As much as i love theem, his vocals live haven't always been their strongest point imo.
How much effort have you actually put into understanding that warrants your gross generalization of "this generation" and "this songwriting"? You want quality of style? Rilo Kiley, Greensky Bluegrass, Mates of State, Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear, Lemon Jelly, Maps and Atlases, Nujabes, Royksopp, Gorillaz, Mumford and Sons, Radiohead... I mean, those are all very obvious names. There's *SO MUCH MORE* that I haven't listed, and that I don't even know about. What stinks here, is your attitude.
Explain in great detail what about the chord structure melody, and general arrangement of the song is displeasing. What you have done here is make a very broad statement backed up by no evidence, and it is therefore difficult to take you seriously. If you have a legitimate point I would like you to make it.
Everyone seems on edge or high on a black microdot. The rhythm is way to fast. The song’s short, but the beats here just kick the song along a short path, too fast.
Forgive me but I don't understand the mentality of this generation. This songwriting really stinks. Is there no discernment left in the general public listening audience that apprectiates quality of style, form, arrangment, and melody. Their songs really stink.
Sad that any group of people can make themselves look homeless (which means they're "artistic") and play complete nonsense that my 7 year old can play on guitar and drums as "music" and somehow people see it as some kind of musical genius. It's not. It's horrible. I can't even figure out what they're trying to do.
lmao is this a serious comment? You come off as a very boring "by the books" kind of person. Anything that ever changed anything in the world has been unconventional to the previous paradigm. Especially art. There's no definitive way to describe what an art piece is. It's a piece of your soul manifested through you using what is available to you as a medium. This is what deerhunter produced at this point in time they found themselves in. If your kid ever gets into self expression of any kind they're in for some hard times with your attitude. Try to not be stale as fuck and you might enjoy what other human beings have created.
I miss Deerhunter.
i miss josh fauver

To me, this is one of the best pop songs of the last years. these days, no one can really pull off such a great piece of songwriting like bradford cox.
its the perfect pop song
Chadford Brox
Love this, really dig the little psychedelic bridge thrown in there.
love their second-hand-seventies-glam-bowling-alley-version of this song, sounds great
that breakdown in the middle is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard. I wish they played it like that on the album.
Calvary Scars
This music appeals to me so much
man it's good to see bradford cox smile lol. killlllllllllleeerrrr performance, whatttt!?
Love you David Letterman
The song is so sad. I'm glad his art saved him.
Great song, great performance, and Cole Alexander’s there too!
so much stereolab in this
This guys confirms why are one of the best bands of our days
Bradford looks so shy at the end
I miss Josh
@helmetboy123456 nah, they just 'extended' the line-up for this performance. It's Cole Alexander from the Black Lips on guitar and the keyboardist is Adam Bruneau from the Back Pockets.
Fauver always had his back to the audience. I totally relate.
ahh! so good. I wish they played a longer so I could watch it longer!
Excellent performance!
Great performance!
Best Letterman performance
One of the best albums in 2010.
Dave: What'd you think Paul?
Paul: I had an acid flashback...
I have absolutely listened the shit out of this track........I have a problem. Fucking great live as well.....I like the jam out at the end.
And of all time :)
yeah that's Cole.
best band ever

Is that the black lips guitarist?!? The one with the cap...
Yeah! So cool that they had Cole to do the guitar and harmonica parts for this performance.
Stereolab/Lou Reed written allover this shit
Vocals def Patti Smith influence

This was my birthday. Fuck yeah.
mm this is amazing
holy fuck...amazing.
yeah and I found out the guy on keyboard is from another Atlanta band called The Back Pockets. They're pretty good too.
paul: "I had an acid flashback"
there's no sadness, its all about happiness!! and life's nothing but a death commercial.. cool noise at the end , LIKE!!!
I like Rick Wakeman with the cape back there. These guys are such a class act. Almost without exception, their live versions are just as good as studio if not better. How often can you say that?
cole!!!!
Aquel octubre,
tú venías todos los días.
Con el olor de las hojas caídas🍂
y mariguana en nuestros bolsillos,
nos poníamos a tocar. 🎷
Pero desde que te fuiste,
esta ya no es una casa. 😕😥
lol, "I had an acid flashback"
Sometimes the music is so good that the lyrics don't matter. Just enjoy it. Don't be so obsessive.
@EuphoricNoise IK! i was shocked when i saw it! and Lockett grew a mustache and shaved it!
Fuckin’ WOOOOOO! 🎉
@elementz1986 I definitely heard it; he does sound like Julian a little
I wish they would've played Desire Lines...
I love you
@TeewhYThreeD spot on.
Cole!!!
I want to hold Bradford in my arms and never let him go
Sounds like they've been listening to Clinic.
is that a little point and wink at 1:30? cause it is badass. then he croons it like sinatra - properly awesome.
El Leandro Augusto.
its enough to make me want a red drum set, anybody know what kind of guitar, gibson?, gretsch?
sounds like velvet underground
@mediacrap hell yeah
@Trippylaud there will always be at least one troll on every UA-cam video! Don't mind them and their incessant need to troll. And i agree, Bradford's vocals in this performance are solid. As much as i love theem, his vocals live haven't always been their strongest point imo.
@magicmike323 so true about everyone comparing any not well-known band to the VU
I -3 cole Alexander.
cole doing the crabcore 2:40
Who's the person on keyboard?
who are the two other guys? new members?
@EnokiSkai what is it?
smells like christmas ...
Firstly, what would you prefer? Secondly, have you heard "cryptograms"?
He's dressed like Kramer
Is it just me or at 0:46 does his voice sound a lot like Julian Casablancas?
@elementz1986 its not just you
what have the strokes done to the the world?
+Alexis Zaragoza No, I think they were around before the strokes.
@mattcav221 and that's ok. Perhaps Nickelback is more up your alley
1:49 scream
Yea or the part wheree um
I didn't say that.

Paul was probably serious o.O

i'm sorry, but i just didn't get anything about that at all..
this is not the dear hunter. I am disappoint.
what?
Eh...

...wut?

Sounds exactly like Julian Casablancas
Yea, but bradford isnt lame
1:15 that loser in the background singing along.
jeohlsson He was feeling it! lol
If I didn;t know any better I would think that 4th graders wrote the songs.
Kinda a radiohead clone
Forgive me but I don't understand the mentality of this generation. This songwriting really stinks. Is there no discernment left in the general public listening audience that apprectiates quality of style, form, arrangment, and melody. Their songs really stink.
go fuck yourself
I guess I'm in the minority here, but this is boring af

I suggest a listen to their other material . absolute real music with real lyrics
Haha , says the guy who listens to Ariana Grande (yes I creeped on your profile)
Watching Jordan Peterson vids is a real L man
what a horrible take, even 5 years later
