im going to see them July 18 in Oakland cant wait i have a rare performance on my channels uploads of this song when i seen them last year they played with an orchestra crazy stuff
Hey, I love this band, and this is currently my favorite song of theres, and stuff, but can some body please tell me he's wearing fake nails or something? lol.
@ImAbomb then you have never listend to Sung Tongs because some parts of this song really sound like Animal Collective and if you only heard stuff from Merri or Strawberry Jam i understand why you would say no
They bug me too, but hes got to have them to play guitar. If you notice, the nails on his other hand arent nearly as long. Thats because he doesnt need them for that hand.
anyway, I love this song with a passion <3
I cant find the album in stores anywhere though. Im a firm believer in buyig music in stores instead of the internet, so it kills me to get it off of itunes D:
I will if i have to though... i love them too much to not buy it at all...
what? do you play guitar? having nails like that sounds like a pick is picking it instead of the soft tip of your finger. clear and crisp instead of mellow and soft. dignity and hygiene as you call them have nothing to do with it.
At first glace, I didn't really expect the lead singer is the type of person who would sing such poetic songs. I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover. Dodos for the win.
No, you're not the only one. I find him insanely gorgeous. I really like everything about Meric (i'm talking like a damn groupie, geez). Anyway, I fell in love with his voice before seeing his face.
And The Dodos are one of the best things that happened to music nowadays, at least for me.
Bet they all smoked a Joint before they played. :]

@elementsk8er821 most classically trained guitarist keep their fingernails long to help with finger picking..it gives the strings a different sound

no those are his nails. guitarists like that always grow out their sturmming nails if they done use picks so they can do that.

This is really a great song and a great band. I'm highly impressed!
Also, the drummer is wearing a Harvest Records t-shirt! If you are ever in Asheville, NC they are by far the best record store in the area.

No, you're not the only one. I find him insanely gorgeous. I really like everything about Meric (i'm talking like a damn groupie, geez). Anyway, I fell in love with his voice before seeing his face.
