@carlitoswayvideo Nonsense comments you usually find in youtube when a song is simply awesome. I have a few more...but I reckon you are not interested in.
@JudoChopPlox I agree! A hippicat (now refered to as ''Hipster'') is actually an nickname for white american teens that loved jazz (the kinda jazz played my black people). The 'hipster' evryone talkes about today aint even a real hipster! it's so funny how people really have NO idea what hipster really means :') They jst think it's guys with moustaches and hats.. LAME
@MMARIAASEA Maybe that's the original meaning, but it's been adapted for the modern era. "Bitch" is just the word for a female dog, but it's still been adapted to have a different meaning. Words can have more than one meaning.
I hate people that call people hipsters if they haven't been listening to this one band the very very very very very very first day they ever ever ever ever ever came out out DAMN!
@underscor3 mate i wouldnt exactly say that i get rele pissed off with alot of the trendy modern crap but this band are incredibly interesting, with mental time signiture an tempo changes its great
well thought-out response -- yes, apathy just is an excuse for laziness (and everyone does it) -- there's nothing like a secure cozy life to take away the urgency of dealing with anything, and conversely, nothing like a corrupt regime to energize people to push for reform.
Ha, re integrating art forms, my son is putting on a production at the DC Fringe Festival: Pascal's Aquarium, a meaning-of-life puppet musical set in a fishtank - talk about pastiche - but well-recieved
No, I'm 56, so behind the times (though one cares less & less) - but: what does America, the world, people in general, need these days? It's hard to run to the future when the consequences of the past are tangling around one's ankles - do we need a resurgence of educated political debate at a neighborhood level? A formal multi-faith organized synthesis of the virtues common to the major religions? National health insurance? More bicycles? Hard to see the path...
good, I have a reference point at last :) -- no let's see, hipsters used to be ravin' rockabilly cool cats, and beatniks were urban sophisticate cool cats -- is there a place for such personalities and attitudes these days?
My boss just turned me on to this cd last week and a brotha is HOOKED!!! thishitisHOT.It's Rock,HipHop,Retro...there are Soul elements and a definite homage 2 XTC. I haven't heard anything this unique in years,this is a must.
hahahahahahahaha! there is no winning the "hipster" argument. there really isn't. If you say hipsters have good taste in music, they say you are one, if you say you aren't.. well, that's exactly what a hipster would say. Haha, maybe we're all hipsters.
@knfield Who said hipster have good taste in music? I have one and I'm not one of them. They like anything that is new. They like the new bands only because they're new, not for their quality. They loooove to hear "no" as a response when they ask you "have you heard of ....(fill in with the newest one)"?
This song reminds me of THIS. It was a scene from Labrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connoly. The scene with the red bird things who remove their body parts. Listen to the song they sing. In a very strange way it's similar to Cannibal Resource.
This song reminds me of a Jim Henson inspired movie I watched when I was a kid. I don't remember the name or the plot but there is a point where there are these little red devil looking things with floating heads and they are tossing them around to each other while scaring the crap out of the hero, and they sing a song while they do it. I don't know how or why but Cannibal Resource reminds me of that scene and song, even though I can barely remember either. This song is brilliant. Something new
Great song. Check out Stealing Sheep, all girl psychedelic group, they operate in similar territory to te 'Projectors: youtube.com/watch?v=K2JgXLizs14
I've been listening to this band since before I knew what a hipster was; I couldn't give a shit what other people think. It's innovative, interesting and above all just great music that anyone can appreciate, so stop saying someone is a Hipster (which by the way is the vaguest of all modern stereotypical terms) for liking good music and appreciate the genius of this awesome band.
@VonnegutFrusciante No shit, right? I'm 32 years old and I've been listening to "hipster" music since I was 11. Not once did I ever hear the term. In January of this year I signed up for a YouTube account and holy shit, what do ya know? Everywhere I fucking look is this dumbass term, label, stereotype. It annoys the living fuck out of me. Why can't I just be Kim, an amazing, laid-back, cool as fuck chic who listens to the greatest and most significant music in existance. I hate fucking labels!!
Because that repeated "witty" poorly structured shit excuse for a meme isn't terribly run down to the ground. Nope, not at all. By the way how is 2006 working out for you? Still on AOL?
i didn't like animal collective or other so called "hipster bands" the first time I heard them, but then i listened to them in social situations with other people and decided to give them another try
this band brings back really good memories for me and reminds me of being out in the sunshine
Just read a reference to this band in a book i was reading and decided to Google them. I'm glad I did . There's just something about this band that's kinda like addicting.. It's so easy going and just enjoyable to listen to.
Seeing them live is AMAZING especially in a small venue :) had a great time. I must say im by far the hippest 15 year old at my school, damn proud of it too.
@ZcSoldierRS I think its the fauxhemians who follow "hipster" bands people hate so much. It's a common misconception that most people make. People who can't do will always find a way to put one who does down.
you can't watch a DP, animal collective, local natives, bon iver, etc. video without arguing comments using the word "hipster." I think it's all of us lamenting our own failures. the people who make the music are the only winners. now go shop at urban outfitters. and i'll join you.
"Let's see who's into cannibalism or who is angry enough do what they want."
Who are the intellectuals who will stand in our way?
Look at bands differently today, there are cooperative efforts in place at our farmer's markets, our librarys and coffee shops. The books you buy, what you listen to,watch, consume are all taken into consideration.
This is not to say that these girls aren't dangerous.
what is it about this style of music that makes everyone fight by talking all intellectually n stuff... eff this im going back to Gaga's videos. atleast they are nice there >.<
why cant everyone just fucking listen to the music without making a big deal about who does and who doesnt like them? just appreciate the music and grow up.
@conchamelon That's fine in theory, but understand that a laid-back attitude like yours is great on some occasions, but there are also occasions in which it is necessary to analyze something, and some people find it just as enjoyable as listening. I can understand it being annoying, but completely writing off analysis of something purely because it can be enjoyed and ignoring the facts surrounding it is counterproductive and all too common. Feel free to enjoy, I'll feel free to discuss.
Their sound is very Progressive. No wonder a lot of people don't get them. Bill Brufford, (of the Prog bands Yes, King Crimson, Genesis) once said: Progressive music is not suppose to be popular. This band is not a typical Prog act per say, but their instrumentation and harmonies are very on the far left of the popular musical spectrum..
I wish I liked this band. I think I could, because I like the rhytms and melodies. But every mix of every one of their songs I have ever heard just sucks. The highs go through me like an infant's wail. Who produces/engineers for them?
I saw them open for Phoenix at MSG and those high notes are even worse live. I don't like to hate on bands, but really, if I could have walked out, I would have. It was bad.
@Capndanger yeah, It happens sometimes, I get the same thing with the Postal Service. Just something in the mix that doesn't agree with me. Of course, I'm in my forties, so maybe they have some subsonic jammer designed to alienate old farts.
@IceReverie meee tooo! from meshuggah to king's x to audioslave to baroness to house/electronica music to the dirty projectors... isn't that what makes us creative humans so great? : )))
@rubbersoap Maybe, but I think it's catchy once you get into it. Maybe that's not the definition of catchy, but I do like challenging music. First time I heard TV on the Radio's new album, I was left with nothing, but now I just think it's straight up rock/pop. Same must've gone for Beatles' Revolver era back in the day.
Good point, but the whole definition of being catchy is that it is easy to remember after just one listen and gets stuck in your head immediately. This song definitely did not get stuck in my head, where as anything by ke$sha can't get out of my head. I wish it didn't work like that because I'd much rather have this in my head than we aree who we areeeee.

i wanna say this reminds me of talking heads, but id be telling a lie. to be quite honest I can finally say that I havent really heard anything like this before, and I fuckin' love it.
@shatnersizeme87 Dirty Projectors are the most innovative and original band on the planet right now. And that is a fact. Animal Collective? No. They're like the Beach Boys of the 21st Century - it's an updated sound. With Dirty Projectors, like with Jimi Hendrix, any INFLUENCES pale in comparison with the towering originality. Jimi died before he could show all that he was capable of. Let's hope Dave Longstreth doesn't. Peace.
@PorroFirst jesus christ I can't fucking stop laughing, man.
Seriously? Is that SERIOUSLY what you think? Fuckin' christ man, they're just a band, and it's just music, get over it and like what's good, period.
If someone from that era heard you say Led Zeppelin was "deep," or "meaningful," they'd laugh in your face. You're clearly not from that era, so stop acting like you're the virtuous music historian with the answers to life and just listen to the music without stamping toes like a faggot.
@PorroFirst Man, do you really think Mike Love was using a Kaos Pad? Or Brian Wilson was writing lines like "...attractive day in a rubble of the night from before..." ...common! If the 87 in your name is your year of birth, then I don´t mind, I was talking similar stuff when I was your age...your comparing apples to grapes, and if you´re a grown man, that´s a really silly thing to do
@Billy2097 i guess i understand...sure you have to understand music and why it provokes emotions..and which emotions for you to allow it to provoke....i know for a fact that i have great taste in music and that everyone may not be on the same level..only in MY OPINION am i better..that's all it's about really..no need to argue..we all have different opinions.
Awesome song, and awesome album artwork: different colors, different voices, true, yet seeing each other "eye to eye". this picture and the one with Nietzsche seals the deal for me, this band is something amazing making gorgeous music.
Love how you listeners of "real" music are claiming moral superiority over those who don't listen to independent when you're also saying "because you like this, i don't want to" music is not something that you have to understand, it simply provokes emotions, this is a great song and for me really works well when i'm stressed but knowing that people are using this as some sort of arguement that their taste is more superior to someone else's is really distressing.
@Billy2097 Maybe some people pride themselves in discovering, knowing and listening to real and only real music. such in my case, Some people live and breath music Which why is they take into offense everything about music.
You may not enjoy the music these guys are making but I'm in a band and we don't have 30,000+ fans. These guys do. They must be doing something right.
I don't really care about the song as much as I'm upset at the people who comment saying those who don't like it don't "get" it. Come on, just because you don't like a song doesn't mean you don't understand it. People have different music tastes for crying out loud! And to be frank, this song doesn't have a really nice melody and it's not really easy on the ears. That's why people might not like it. Not because it's a really hard puzzle or something. -_-
@UberKiwix3 "Different tastes" is just a term for not getting it. How can you get something if you haven't followed one of the musical paths that lead to it developing your taste all the way? It *is* part of a puzzle, and you haven't found the rest of the pieces.
@robotnudist Not everyone is an ambitious musician, some people listen to music purely for entertainment and they don't care to develop a taste for everything. This may not be something you or I agree with, but it will never change, especially not through any efforts of your own. Some people's "puzzles," to put it in your terms, are complete at different stages, whether that's liking one band, or every single genre.
@parrothead1992 I wasn't talking about some sort of subjective puzzle, but the puzzle of music as a whole. There are tons of pieces and people explore their own sections, and some explore more than others. But if you encounter something that doesn't fit in your section at all, then you don't "get" it, and why would you get it? You don't have the connecting pieces in place.
I'm not claiming to be a music expert, but I do think it's valid to say "you just don't get it".
@robotnudist You have a point, it is valid that it's just not intended for some, but saying that people "don't get it" usually sounds insulting. It seems easy to tell who will warm up to something and who won't, but it isn't, trust me. You don't want to turn them off from experiencing this area of music by making them feel inferior. If they insult an area, by all means defend it, but do it in a way that leaves the area open for them to explore, or you're fighting your own cause.
@parrothead1992 Okay I agree with you that "you don't get it" is kind of insulting. But it's no good trying to explain to someone that "no, this music is actually good because this and this and this." Any defense is just going to be a more detailed version of "you don't get it" because it is outlining the ways in which they don't get it. And the only other options are staying silent (too easily taken as implicit agreement), and prescribing them preparative music (not exactly feasible on the net)
i don't really get all the hate, i think they're pretty good and this is coming from someone who listens to things that probably have 0 "hipster cred"
This song is like a complex math problem that I can almost understand. Nevertheless, I've listened to it five times trying to get it, so I must really like it. I'm thinking of buying it.
For some reason I think these guys would have made more impact if they started in the early 90's rather then the early 2000's, people where so much more experimental in the 90's
I love their experimental style, but it would be better if the vocalist had a stronger voice. I heard them live at NMF and they didn't do too hot that night
@lordblazer I completely agree, the music composition is amazing, but they should go in a different direction when it comes to the vocals. You heard them live! Not to good? Maybe they will be better at another gig.
I am becoming a fan of these ladies. First thought: Tragically artsy; second thought: Wait a minute, they can sing very well; Third thought: shit. I actually LIKE this. Damn.
It's unlikely that it would have happened as it did. The Beatles changed the face of pop music more than any other band before or since. If some other band would have done that, then one would think that another would have come along, but it really hasn't happened. Yes, Nirvana changed music in the 90's, that was basically 3 years and they didn't come close to the diversity of the Beatles' output. With that said, this album is incredible. Wish I'd heard of DP earlier.

I can understand it being annoying, but completely writing off analysis of something purely because it can be enjoyed and ignoring the facts surrounding it is counterproductive and all too common. Feel free to enjoy, I'll feel free to discuss.

Their sound is very Progressive. No wonder a lot of people don't get them. Bill Brufford, (of the Prog bands Yes, King Crimson, Genesis) once said: Progressive music is not suppose to be popular. This band is not a typical Prog act per say, but their instrumentation and harmonies are very on the far left of the popular musical spectrum..

I wish I liked this band. I think I could, because I like the rhytms and melodies. But every mix of every one of their songs I have ever heard just sucks. The highs go through me like an infant's wail. Who produces/engineers for them?

I saw them open for Phoenix at MSG and those high notes are even worse live. I don't like to hate on bands, but really, if I could have walked out, I would have. It was bad.

@rubbersoap Maybe, but I think it's catchy once you get into it. Maybe that's not the definition of catchy, but I do like challenging music. First time I heard TV on the Radio's new album, I was left with nothing, but now I just think it's straight up rock/pop. Same must've gone for Beatles' Revolver era back in the day.

@PorroFirst
Good point, but the whole definition of being catchy is that it is easy to remember after just one listen and gets stuck in your head immediately. This song definitely did not get stuck in my head, where as anything by ke$sha can't get out of my head. I wish it didn't work like that because I'd much rather have this in my head than we aree who we areeeee.

@shatnersizeme87 Dirty Projectors are the most innovative and original band on the planet right now. And that is a fact. Animal Collective? No. They're like the Beach Boys of the 21st Century - it's an updated sound. With Dirty Projectors, like with Jimi Hendrix, any INFLUENCES pale in comparison with the towering originality. Jimi died before he could show all that he was capable of. Let's hope Dave Longstreth doesn't. Peace.

Seriously? Is that SERIOUSLY what you think? Fuckin' christ man, they're just a band, and it's just music, get over it and like what's good, period.
If someone from that era heard you say Led Zeppelin was "deep," or "meaningful," they'd laugh in your face. You're clearly not from that era, so stop acting like you're the virtuous music historian with the answers to life and just listen to the music without stamping toes like a faggot.

Love how you listeners of "real" music are claiming moral superiority over those who don't listen to independent when you're also saying "because you like this, i don't want to" music is not something that you have to understand, it simply provokes emotions, this is a great song and for me really works well when i'm stressed but knowing that people are using this as some sort of arguement that their taste is more superior to someone else's is really distressing.

I don't really care about the song as much as I'm upset at the people who comment saying those who don't like it don't "get" it. Come on, just because you don't like a song doesn't mean you don't understand it. People have different music tastes for crying out loud! And to be frank, this song doesn't have a really nice melody and it's not really easy on the ears. That's why people might not like it. Not because it's a really hard puzzle or something. -_-
UberKiwix3 1 year ago 2
@UberKiwix3 "Different tastes" is just a term for not getting it. How can you get something if you haven't followed one of the musical paths that lead to it developing your taste all the way? It *is* part of a puzzle, and you haven't found the rest of the pieces.
robotnudist 1 year ago
@robotnudist Not everyone is an ambitious musician, some people listen to music purely for entertainment and they don't care to develop a taste for everything. This may not be something you or I agree with, but it will never change, especially not through any efforts of your own. Some people's "puzzles," to put it in your terms, are complete at different stages, whether that's liking one band, or every single genre.
parrothead1992 1 year ago 4
@parrothead1992 I wasn't talking about some sort of subjective puzzle, but the puzzle of music as a whole. There are tons of pieces and people explore their own sections, and some explore more than others. But if you encounter something that doesn't fit in your section at all, then you don't "get" it, and why would you get it? You don't have the connecting pieces in place.
I'm not claiming to be a music expert, but I do think it's valid to say "you just don't get it".
robotnudist 11 months ago
@robotnudist You have a point, it is valid that it's just not intended for some, but saying that people "don't get it" usually sounds insulting. It seems easy to tell who will warm up to something and who won't, but it isn't, trust me. You don't want to turn them off from experiencing this area of music by making them feel inferior. If they insult an area, by all means defend it, but do it in a way that leaves the area open for them to explore, or you're fighting your own cause.
parrothead1992 11 months ago
@parrothead1992 Okay I agree with you that "you don't get it" is kind of insulting. But it's no good trying to explain to someone that "no, this music is actually good because this and this and this." Any defense is just going to be a more detailed version of "you don't get it" because it is outlining the ways in which they don't get it. And the only other options are staying silent (too easily taken as implicit agreement), and prescribing them preparative music (not exactly feasible on the net)

It's unlikely that it would have happened as it did. The Beatles changed the face of pop music more than any other band before or since. If some other band would have done that, then one would think that another would have come along, but it really hasn't happened. Yes, Nirvana changed music in the 90's, that was basically 3 years and they didn't come close to the diversity of the Beatles' output. With that said, this album is incredible. Wish I'd heard of DP earlier.
