Mindtroll - Jazz Boyfriend (At Goodbye Blue Monday 8/17/10)

[PrestonDowMusic]

hahaha anyone who rejects an entire "genre" of music is no musician

[kikisanfrancisco]

As a jazz musician with lots of jazz musician friends who circulated this to me on Facebook I can tell you we LOVE this song! (and yes our talk can be totally boring unless you are also a jazz nerd!)

[CBAREFOO1]

a pleasant surprise, an interesting sound, and a wild outfit. I give Mindtroll many thumbs upward

[Jaistar2k22]

eleven people are jazz boyfriends.

[linustaup]

For what it's worth, I have never met a jazz boyfriend who wasn't an awkward looking, caucasian, nuclear-family* ex-suburbanite who sucked at music and spent a majority of his time making self-righteously reactionary comments on youtube. Just saying. Run and tell that.

*not an adjective.

[stazine]

Having read most if not all of the comments, I'd like to suggest that most of the users have really missed the core point of this presentation, a purely female perspective. Jazz has always been will probably stay traditionally male, macho pursuit, and the song and the way it's presented is really just a tongue-in-the-cheek female response to that. It's really NOT about Jazz!!!

[zappacrappa2]

Since you guys are teenagers (or barely out of your teens) I'll cut you some slack.

When you grow up, hopefully you'll discover that jazz is one of the highest art forms ever created ( if you have an iota of intelligence you'll eventually realize this). Unlike the *objectively* horrendous cacophony displayed by your so-called 'band', playing jazz requires musical talent AND years of study.

It's sad that a group of talentless people need to belittle an art form they can't even understand.

[intrepidpooch]

She must be mad that her jazz boyfriend mentioned that she's tone deaf. Nice shirt by the way.

[JulioBandito]

I have never met a Jazz Musician or lover that was boring....but being a lover of punk and all kinds of music I can say that this band needs practice, you lack emotion and feeling not to mention technical skills. you know what kind of music you should listen to, to get feeling and emotion in your music. you should listen to ja.....oh right......... sorry....

[jalex11]

Well she's no Sarah Vaughan... Seriously though it's cute that this "jaded" hipster believes that she actually has talent. Judging by this caterwauling she might want to pick up an Ella album and take a few lessons.

[pdenavagattora]

What's worse than a jazz boyfriend? A whiny pseudo-indie chick girlfriend. Now that's shitty music.

[Roddinghammer]

If by jazz blows you mean that it gives pleasure in a similar way that felatio does, then yes, jazz blows.

[AllThatStringBass]

Hahahahaha, you guys are terrible. Sounds like you all could use a few lessons from a jazz musician. Then you might not suck.... Btw, that first groove was shitty funk at best... and if your "rock" band cant even make a shitty funk groove sound good, then you got other things to worry about that jazz musicians... like becoming a musician yourself.... anyway, eat shit. have a nice day ;)

[ringu]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[THeDUDe21892]

Id rather listen to jazz any day than this wanna be indie shit band. I dont even mind indie, I love the Ravonettes and stuff like that but this just fuckn sucks. Not only do you guys both look and sound like shit but your close minded to! Someone should write a song called "Pretencious Hipster Bitch"

[kearnj]

"The harp is an insipid instrument—no good for dancing, feasting, or marching, only for sitting primly in a parlor or on a cloud."

[JoePassIsMyIdol]

What if the Velvet Underground sucked?

[jrobinso]

All you have to do is change the lyric to 'Brooklyn Hipster Boyfriend' and the song starts to make sense. Shows that blow? I rest my case.

[picker999]

she sure sucks more than her band too. LOL ROTFL Maybe if she took off her clothes she would be better.

[picker999]

she sure sucks more than her band too. LOL ROTFL

[aneber15]

Mindtroll killed my gramma.

[lolharbandhar]

Is it intentional irony that this song is also fucking awful?

[natebitz]

This may be the worst music I have ever heard. This could take the cake. 

[doyoureallythinkso]

"That's foul" Yes, yes you are.

[laveye]

Nuclear-families: Enemy No. 1 for the serious Jazz Boyfriend

[waitwhatwasthat]

Someone on Buzzfeed said it best. "Hipster musicians hate jazz musicians, the original hipsters, because it reminds them that they are actually just awkward looking, caucasian, nuclear-family ex-suburbanites who suck at music so they play accordion ironically in a punk band where talent is irrelevant to the goal, which is to rebel, against hipper, well-practiced musicians, as seen here in exhibit A."

[laserpilot]

@waitwhatwasthat especially when the accordion player is totally white, not black or anything..good call on these racist distinctions about musical ability, asshole

[linustaup]

@laserpilot ZING!

[waitwhatwasthat]

can someone fucking put an end to this retarded Brooklyn art-rock. Their fake jazz sounds better than their retarded punk bullshit.

[molluskweddin]

Wow. You guys are pretty legitimately awful. If you don't appreciate Jazz , you shouldn't be musicians.
