The Dodos - Fables

[samsamuels19]

Holy crap these guys are good. I was listening to young coyotes and I saw this video in the suggestions, so I clicked on it and I'm absolutely loving what I hear

[mandiewilliams]

I finally get to see them in September!!!!!!!!!!!

[foogirl8D]

love the unique sound to their music and how creative they are!! like taping the tambourine to the drummers foot! also the guitar and how they added a base string, is awesome!! so glad a mate introduced me to this band :)

[CaptainxCaboose]

What kind of guitar is that?

[DraneXproductions]

his guitar is awesome

[YoureTerribl]

I'm sure he's a nice dude but im so glad they got rid of the xylophone player.

[euyq]

@YoureTerribl Yea, Logan and Meric are possibly the best duo out there

[tamafocyousaid]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[XxFiascox]

HA!

[yvettemitchell123]

This video is so beautifully filmed.

[transworldgerza]

anyone knows what brand is that guitar? thanks

[thekookadoob]

@transworldgerza looks like an older les paul

[snoesmandy]

The drummer is hot.

[TheMightyHartley]

@snoesmandy Good to see you're focussing on the music, LOL.

[Ottawatian]

Such simple, but beautiful and heartbreaking lyrics, mixed with such a driving and powerful rhythm... this song is fucking awesome.

[kidaok00]

this song BLOWS... yuck! 

[Sare204]

@kidaok00 If you don't like it, don't take the time to bash it ok? is that too much to ask?

[kiwifruit138]

Thats my song right there! <3

[upenguinINC]

duck tape tambourine shoe ftw

[elzer911]

anyone else thought they were listening to The Beatles for a minute?<333333

[springsten]

@elzer911

You must seriously be retarded if you actually thought you were listening to The Beatles.

[93700Sarah]

TVD.

[euyq]

Why can't they play this stuff on the radio not that rnb bullshit

[ChungFat4eva]

@euyq

hey, how about you try to realize that both styles of music have their own virtues and stop being an indie dickrider

[SuperPlaylistmaster]

@ChungFat4eva thumbs up for the indie dickrider comment .... fucking hipsters

[electigamer]

Doesn't anyone wants to know what chords he is playing ?!

DIBS if anyone knows. (But the real chords, not a 911tabs.com copy.)

Thanks !

[ZieglerLongboards]

CONFETTTIIIII :D

[Shoovit]

he kinda looks like peter parker

[DrJakeypoo]

@Shoovit Awesome :)

[salsfleet]

Can someone please tell me what kind of guitar meric is playing?? thanks!

[upenguinINC]

i love it how he duct tapes a tambourine to his foot

[JusttLiamm25]

Yoo, these guys are soo amazing! im so glad i watch the original longboard video because then i would have never heard of these guys.

[Jlukecampos]

@JusttLiamm25

me too! good stuff!

[theEmptyMilkCarton]

CONFETTI!!!!!!!!

[cyrus7913]

amazing

[hartsock4life]

whats the tuning for this song?

[misssekajones]

saw The dodos when they played at Camp A Low Hum, New Zealand. Love them! (Meric, I still think you're hot ) X

[unrealhotfire]

drummer was cooler with the 'stache

[PivotIsAwesome4]

@unrealhotfire agreed

[sarayiyi]

they're awsome

[talktothewalls]

i love the simplicity of their music videos

[JusttLiamm25]

We spoke today to a jury

you could see the doubt in their eyes

our words are trained to delivery

there is nothing else to change their minds

[GlassHouse5]

These guys are (unfortunately) very marketable. I guarantee some record label will get its claws into them and blow them out of proportion. Give it a year.

[chedison]

@GlassHouse5 Sad but true. We always say its not gonna happen but, it usually does sooner or later....

[rondude2011]

@GlassHouse5

They've been playing waaaay longer than you might think. They keep a really low profile, and have rejected some major offers.

[weffaakrawi]

@GlassHouse5 although i'm grateful your prediction proved wrong, the lack of due credit they've received is appalling. i mean, it's such a cliche thing to say, but jesus christ, they're so underrated!

[GlassHouse5]

@weffaakrawi Yeah, I'm really surprised by this too. I was lucky enough to see these guys live here in Australia. The crowd they drew was really large but most people I speak to today still have never heard of them. Still a great band and play a fantastic gig!

[joao10000000000]

bom demais

[gmoffat17]

Best indie band in many ways. Pure and simple. Great guitar work and an organic approach to rhythm.

[thehockeybomb]

@gmoffat17 silversun pickups are a great indie band

[lynnfamily4]

The drummer is hot. They should show him more. (Actually they're all hot, but especially the drummer. I am a sucker for a man in a plaid shirt.)

[kalli1347]

~I don't wanna go in the fire. I just wanna stay in my home

~I don't wanna hear all the liars. I just wanna be with my own.

[ssertrof]

is this video out of sync for anyone else?

[iGraphic1]

what's the name of the guitar?...it's so...i can't find the words!!!...

[cmpelling]

fucking player guitar

[TheDelirious1]

genious

[chnwh]

Top tune

[ariana6896]

th drummer looks soooo hot in the beginning :D<33

[RockFTW191]

briliant band, i love skating to these guys awesome tunes

[182klemm]

huh i kno wat u mean it puts me n a chill ass mood

[euyq]

i like how the drummer puts the tambourine around his foot

[alfaripopo]

looks like poor's man hihat, pretty funny

[mikeradlowski]

saw them at the east brunswick club last night, they were great, then met meric and totally weirded him out

[morogoro50]

Fresh,,new, geniunly passionate musicians ,.. That's oxigen plus plus enriched air ..thanks Dodos

[Polmnia]

LOVE THE MUSIC!

[pekas98banjo]

finally some uniqueness i was getting tired hearing the same beats on drums, same chords on guitar and same lyrics from today's trash music

[MarioJams]

the singer looks like freddy from skins

[killedmyvalentine]

@MarioJams

wooh i read the comment before i saw the video and thought "haha pretty sure he won't look exactly like him" but then i saw him O.o wooooops.

let's hope he doesn't end up like freddie, huh? :D

[dylanmartin]

not using the drumbass or a bass guitar and a melodron instead is remarkable..

we need more of this.

[18clarisa]

un poco de pop indie

[bonisto88]

finally something new in this sad musical horizon

[ghost201269]

that's such an amazing album !

[imamonstrosity]

greattttt song!

[hoosierfleck13]

you guys kick ass

[ChrisDaniels09]

hey if anyone knows how i could find chords for this song thatd be great! send me a link? thanks

[funnyguy1210]

@ChrisDaniels09 its alternate tuning

[evsodopex3]

I am in LOVE with this song!

Their lyrics are amazingx3

[DanielPaul56]

Pop, Indie, who gives a shit. The song is stuck in my head.

[grapic11]

ya man, i love this song :)

[ehelwagen]

My husband and I enjoyed your performance on the Dave Letterman Show. Congratulations for getting to play for a wider audience!

[izzyistheshizzy]

The singer reminds me of the beatles, his voice mostly.

[bartman10033]

Visiter trumps this album. But this song is pretty fantastic :]

[Pilarress]

@bartman10033 thats so true! visiter's outta this world :)

[ChungFat4eva]

the lead singer looks reaaaally emo

[amidnightskyy]

what happened to this band? they used to be pretty kick ass... and listen to this.. lame... Great job guys....

[loonie1011]

@ amidnightskyy they dropped their "pop persona" and went back to their indie rock roots, this is indie rock song and don't you forget it, its not pop music

[messi317]

@loonie1011 it is pop music, this is a common misconception. pop music has such a negative connotation, that it's lost it's true meaning. the beatles, the smiths, even the clash played pop music. indie rock is a vague designation for many current bands, and doesn't aptly describe the bands musical palate. I've heard grizzly bear and beirut described as indie rock. that doesn't make sense

[TaffyRaphie]

@messi317 anything popular is 'pop" music

[KypHeM]

@messi317 But understand Indie in the sense of independent music sounds right and Beirut fits in.

[werewolfy4]

@amidnightskyy the hell you talkin about

[austrailianpirate]

how the crap is that crazy?

[xSNOWYJOEx]

i love the drums so crazy

[CRANIUM62]

this whole song is pretty good. just as good as their 'Fools' , I guess it depends on your opinion. some may like this one a lil more or the otheres. I always like that random shout they do. and their lyrics and guitar and drums are all lil better than deesent ( not sure if I spelld that rite, LOL) but yeah, I think that even just the awesome wordless music part after 2:47 is fuckin great when it kicks in. and even that chorus might run though my head at some point.

[enjoilover1]

i am 12 and i think this shit is awesome like animal collective, Panda bear, Wavves, Man man, and morning benders

[hunter31337]

good music taste but who cares how old you are?

[lan00b]

@hunter31337 The police do. if ur under 18, 19, 21

[Snnijp]

@lan00b hey what about 20? :| You discriminate people who are 20? :O

[lan00b]

@Snnijp No I think I was making a joke about legal drinking ages.. when I wrote that I was 20.

[helenbrook]

i am 16 and i think this comment is funny.

[nadiaandnadia]

such a great song.good job guys:D

[ferjant]

rank 3rd on Spinner's Best Songs of 2009.

[Chicaamiable]

I love the whole song but my favorite part starts at 2:47 The guitar, the drums, the beat is just mesmerizing. It should be used in a movie trailer or used part in a fun, sad, or outrageous scene in a movie lol.

Don't get me wrong but i love it when some artist leave a little time for their fans to listen to the beat because I use it to daydream =)

[LetsGoPlayInTraffic]

i think im gunna use that part for a snowboard movie

[noodles2295]

3:44 ...its michael owen

[maffebrammie]

I'm actually 15 years old, and yes this music is crap, just like kings of leon.

[bigfootstolemypuppy]

Kings of Leon, really? That shit isn't even close to the awesomeness that is The Dodos.

[KingsofLeon22]

maffebrammie is dumb as hell. Its not always about the drums or one specific instrument. Its about the music.

[maffebrammie]

I Think that you don't know what gay means.

[raidonthestadiar]

I like this song a lot.

[SunsetRubdownz]

this album is rull good.

[maffebrammie]

the drums are very gay

[SunsetRubdownz]

@ maffebrammie are the drums fucking each other?

[bentleyballin]

what do those drums have to do with sexual preference?

[Cheesepuffs414]

You're either a twelve-year-old or a REALLY shitty troll.

[MrWhothefuck]

anyone know wat guitar hes playing

[ScorpiousMagnus]

Just been introduced to this band...Great song and simple yet effective video...Nice.

[Ivvavik18]

Opeth is about as far as you can get from this band.

[Volleyballjok12]

[djeondj]

this video needs more views!!! yesh! dodos tonight in dallas :D

[gotilk]

AHHH!!! Best thing I've heard in years!! Just when you think it's all been done, everything simple has been created... perfection like this comes along and renews your hope. Anyone who says there's no good new music needs a listen to this.

[lukeloseth]

ever heard of animal collective?

[gotilk]

Oh yes! I think the best from them is yet to come.

[lukeloseth]

absolutely... same with the arcade fire, can't wait to hear their next album.
