[AnOldFellowship]

i met these guys this summer. Casey was baked and kept saying "dude". multiple times a sentence....

[Daliah2603]

i love them too

[FUICA1]

The best band of today, I mean... I love this band...you know

[rhombusskullvsteal]

the best and most polished/ refined musical act of the 21'st century

[CarolineChe]

i counted 33 "you know"s

[jackblacksutube]

illuminati!

[TheBurninator50]

Cocaine's a helluva drug.

[wizardmix]

It's such a common notion that collectives who are amazed by the brilliance of inspiring music expect the contributors to have all the answers. To you I reply: get off your asses and figure life out for yourselves; stop looking for others to define it for you and then being disappointed when they don't have something profound to say about it.

[MiltonMONOMethMorbid]

Was there one cohesive point in this interview?

[dynospectrum]

i lost him after 2:35

[ThomasBCullen]

what does he mean there is no music theory?

[jon805980]

Skye is the only one who isn't a douchebag in this interview.

[pilohART]

@jon805980 YOU got confused and THEY were the douchebags? Uh-huh...

[MrTrinklied]

How odl is the little Skye guy? I heard 15, but don't believe it.

[panicattthedisco]

@MrTrinklied He's 22 now. He was about 19-20 in this interview

[SnapAtMeJasper]

No, I agree with Casey, I don't think there is a music theory, you can hear something, a note, and know that it's C#, but all you're really doing is hearing the note, not the sound.

Music isn't about hearing, it's about listening, you listen to the beats and harmonies flowing together like the wind, theres no way to describe that, especially with little dots on lines, music isn't theory, music is sound.

[creaturanoctis]

I think they're all very sweet and they seem to have great depths in how they think.

Translating it to words can be difficult..no doubt.

[angohhll]

i kind of get what he's saying about there not being music theory. I think what he means is that there needn't be equations and formulas to music for it to be great and moving. Great music solemnly relies on expression and human creativity.

[JULIAtalk]

The fact he talked about Elliott Smith just made my day !

[wardy931]

you can tell they really love their music

[zonybenvid]

At the basis of making music there isn't really theory, and what the sheet of music has written on it doesn't matter. You have ears, you can listen, and that's what music is all about right? That's how I interpreted that statement of "no music theory." Theory is only real when you aren't caught up in the moment of playing and really listening to your instrument.

[ZeeJules67]

@

Amen

[ZeeJules67]

Skylar talked :O! Lol

Love these guys, man.

[NewMadrid01]

Casey seemed really douchey in this interview. "No music theory"? Come on dude ...

[TheHummingbirdsong]

Casey is awesome

[ais2009]

woww, they say thingssss!! lsk;fdjdsa just listen and learn about an artist you dig via interview

[skankon]

wow, talk about a nit-picky audience! try counting how many times YOU say "you know" or "like" when you're trying to explain something. :P

so it's either this, or nardwuar. hahaha

[Wonderloo5000]

you guys are douche bags for making fun of people, who gives a shit

[zultanaX]

now we know...!!!

[vulvamaster69]

I don't think these guys want to really do interviews but it's part of the being in the music business. I sure they would just rather express them selves on stage and in the studio. Great artist ...these guys will be around for a long time as long as they don't fall in love with a Yoko Ono .

[xXElMananaXx]

@vulvamaster69 Oh, my god. Don't even say it! haha.

[mirandarosepetal]

Good thing Skyler is so pretty...kind of holds this interview together.

[ChrisGotANewFace]

let's count all "you know's"!!!!!!

[Kromblas]

yes, try :D

[ilovemutemath]

32.

counted.

[SecretCloak]

he begins every sentence with "you know" lol

[pilohART]

@SecretCloak You begin every sentence by not thinking lol

[SecretCloak]

@pilohART shh! i love their music.

[Kromblas]

why are they talking at all if we already KNOW everything :DDDDDDDD it's a funny interview, you know

[ChrisGotANewFace]

you know? you know!

[mudbassfan]

haha i guess these answers only make sense to them. my favorite band now :)

[sactoskater]

they all are always wearing long sleeves

[embran]

guys in the middle and right are okey, but this one on the left is annoying a lot. He;s trying to pretend smart, but all he can say is "you know" in smart-sounding-tone

[topquinn]

Great band. Awful interview. Can we get a thought together here???

[skeetmonkey69]

My thoughts exactly... I was struggling through the "y,know's" and the "like's"...

[carlosfandango0]

not the best interview i've ever heard

[zsharp08]

i met him. he met elliott. i almost met elliott... ps they are the nicest guys on earth. they just hung out with us after the show and had a cigarette. it was amazing.

[brycetully]

no music theory......what a fool

[izeofthewrld]

Haha loved the way Skye says I'm young

[DustyDurst]

SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TomHooligan2007]

elliott smith is a fucking leg end.

[drosenblatt311]

i think they sound pretentious bc. you dont hear the interviewer asking any questions so they sound like they are just rambling

[zizzersoccer]

That dude met Elliott Smith... that's awesome.

[climbthemountain]

They're awesome, but a bit pretentious I think.

[sdrawkcabebag]

no music theory?!

aww crap, one long period in my life has been completely wasted.

[Q3o5]

cool

[chaz32]

There's no music theory?

Shut up and go back to making brilliant albums.

[gnitleinad]

i know! is he seriously saying that?!

[pilohART]

@chaz32 Maybe instead of saying shut up you should listen closer to the words they said. You obviously heard something and jumped to your own ultimate conclusion. The musician knows there is a mathematical equation to producing and playing music. The great musical artist knows about the mathematical equation, ignores them, and moves on to create new ideas. That's what he was saying, but you were stuck amongst your opinion of his words.

[ageofreason]

That's a really boring interview

[ContinoBricchio]

nice

[7RaulGonzales]

YOU KNOW YOU KNOW

[Somone23]

"you know, for me, you know, you know....you know"

haha, i still love them

[philofelinist]

I just wish someone would say "we do know"

they articulate themselves better simply through their music.

[Capupatio]

I didn't know what you were talking about at first.

Then I watched this again, and counted about fifty-thousand "you knows".

[westost]

Wow, aren't you cool.

[Reinierbonis]

second :D

[MarekNosal]

first :D
