mewithoutyou- o' porcupine

[divinerhythm1]

This is prophetic. Whether from the Lord, or the Enemy.

[janustismith]

They did a cover of the Talking Heads at this show.

[jschristian44]

that light is nevertheless god. genious.

[miketothetones]

why the fuck isnt this whole show on youtube.......no really where is the rest of this video?

[iseeyoubrightly]

@miketothetones considering this was eight years ago, I probably only had a 512 mb memory card.

[ShalomSoySAUCE91]

Does any know what type of hand/djembe drum that is with the plastic head and distinct sound?

[MikeyFace21]

i get goosebumps when they start the big singing/ yelling part...every fucking time.

[83ibanez83]

the singer reminds me of al from home improvement

[marilea236]

@83ibanez83 i love this band but LOL your comment made me laugh. XD

[mcchrisownz]

"I covered up some pornographic DVDs with our poster in my little world."

Best impromptu-line ever uttered at any musical performance.

[TheMetalheadgoth]

This is one of the most oddest bands l like.

[jasonmalice]

"YOU WANT TO SET ME FREE?!?"

[Lindlaar]

GRAB A CD AND THROW IT ON THE GROUND

Just kidding

[bahajala]

Best performance of live music I've ever seen. True art and togetherness, no business side of it, fancy outfits or lame hipster scenes. Honest music.

[Lindlaar]

I demand a

"YOU'D BE WELL INCLINED NOT TO MESS WITH ME"

Tshirt

I'd wear that

[sipsop]

The dance moves of the guitarist are epic! :O

[currentGypsy]

so poetic. this is what music is all about!!

[italicpigeon]

my life would be complete if i had been here

[Kaayemkaay]

They kinda like modest mouse, but theyll never be as good as them. Really good job though! You guys are good ;)

[HeLovedMeAtMyDarkest]

I'm so down with his shirt. I'm gonna sew quilt pockets on all my shirts now. A quilt pocket shirt can only spill what it contains.

[karrieatscrayons]

@HeLovedMeAtMyDarkest  ahahaha

[vlogger3000]

<3 2:35 :D

[jaydoubleyouess]

I want to know what the next song was

[SMOKEinPetrone]

Aaron Weiss is one of the greatest lyricists out there today.

[ZomgRobot]

amazing.

[71cKwl]

Most creative band...ever.

[row1992]

The red flag took the form... OF A PORCUPINE <3

[777Neener777]

I was at this show! Greatness is an understatement.

[testament3]

you are so freaking lucky. I wish I knew about this. I so would have been there.

[almost5597]

haha "hold on mikey" ha

[caseypoo16]

I want his shirt!

[AlkalineAddict]

now this is fucking music :D

[ReCklesSJaga]

@jufjansties  You got that right. He's the King Porqupine!

[sarahferrari]

i love love love this band. <3

[jscornerstone]

you wanna SET ME FREE!

[kriszpaul]

sweet sounding 'drum' is that a derbuka or what?

[nmobayed]

its called a tabla

[dames48]

nope thats not a tabla.

it is a darbuka

[nmobayed]

@dames48 nvm, you're right. it is a darbuka

[katrinahxc]

this is an amazing song

lyrics are beautifuly written

songs like this help continue my dream of one day living in a tree house and writing songs and painting and drawing until i die

so very artistic

[ReCklesSJaga]

This video makes me want to grow a beard, rock a cape, top hat and a cane and yell out in the streets, "You'd be well inclined not to mess with me!"

[jufjansties]

@ReCklesSJaga I swear no one on earth makes a porcupine sound more awesome than Aaron Weiss.

[scottypotty4]

this one of my favorite songs. :]

[jamesphillips4291]

well, saying that he isnt swearing, you all can drop it.

[ReCklesSJaga]

he isn't cussing, buxom means "Healthily plump and ample of figure", so please lets just drop this subject.

[NickolasLacey]

he cussed! why aaron why!

[youwannashake123]

nick he didn't cuss at all?you are confusing me.

[ticklechu]

donde?

[NickolasLacey]

yea my friend and i looked at it around 5:00 he says buxom instead of the f word

[decay789]

yah he used buxom.. but would u consider crap,damn or hell a bad word. i dont think they are. wats ur opinion?

[NickolasLacey]

umm well if your a christian then the following is your answer: if you were to use a word and someone looks at you like you said a bad word, its a bad word and is a sin. The "cuss" words change with the culture and time. my best friend whos also christian cusses around me sometimes and i do to him, we dont think too much of it cause we dont think we are sinning, now around other people we hold our tongue. What God looks down on is people of vulgar tongues or who speak with malice. its biblical

[KoUn7eRfIt]

Totally agree with you man, one hundred percent with you.

[emenhiser]

maybe i'm misunderstanding what you've said, but a sin is the same sin no matter who thinks differently of it.

[NickolasLacey]

but where in the bible does it say that the F word and the s word are sins? im not saying its not a sin to say its just that THOSE particular words are not what makes it a sin.

[scottypotty4]

well if you use them towards a person it is a sin. because everyone is made in God's image, so if you say it to a person you are pretty much saying it to God. or thats what I was taught atleast.

[MorfGworfmim]

I agree with that. We are called not to speak vulgarly so when we use "profanity" in coarse joking or when we are saying bad things of other people, that's when it's wrong.

We have our mouths to bless and not to curse, but you know, if you drop a hammer on your foot or something, it's OK to blurt out something in surprise, just not condemnation or anger.

[emenhiser]

ok, i get what you're saying now.

[NickolasLacey]

okay im glad you do, feel free to question me still though

[ChristianHalovids]

yes but sins are of spirit not flesh and words.

[NickolasLacey]

and also my friend and i have an understanding that we dont care about cussing too much, other people are not like that and therefore as christians we must be children of light and good stature so cussing would be contradictory to that

[decay789]

oh i get yah thats sorta how i feel. like bout the f word n stuff. but crap damn n hell arent curse words. so i wouldnt think much if i were to say it in front of ppl. mostly used one is crap though.

[NickolasLacey]

just be careful how people are gonna view you.

[decay789]

Yah i know exactly wat u mean. but eh oh well.

[austinsontv]

If you were to meet him, then you would understand the way that he speaks. its almost as if hes holding back words. hes COMPLETELY different when you meet him outside of the band when he's not singing. He is hard to understand but I can assure you that Aaron is not the kind of guy to cuss.

[fuhgawz0]

Oh man I love This SONG!!! and This BAND!!!

[Double0Panda]

I love these guys sooo much.

He has a rather large head, though.

[ArtIsNotModern]

they're such talented people

I love that they're always dancing, too.

[iseeyoubrightly]

not always! not so much at cornerstone or other obnoxiously large music festivals

[ArtIsNotModern]

that's true. at cornerstone they've gotten their friends to run around and dance on stage. especially in bird costumes...

[iseeyoubrightly]

yeah plus who wants to dance in front of 20,000 people?

[ArtIsNotModern]

what's the difference if you're making music for them? I can't help but dance when I play.

[row1992]

@iseeyoubrightly I sir

[casedinlight]

@iseeyoubrightly ME!

[gigags0212]

they are such an amazing group

brilliant

[systemofa20]

which two are brothers?

[iseeyoubrightly]

aaron in the green and mikey in the gray

[DeathofBabylon]

Where was Greg?

[iseeyoubrightly]

i believe some friends of his or family member were very sick at that time

[Xhoven]

I love his dance at 2:57, he really gets into it!

Man I wish I could have experienced this live...I'm sure the video doesn't do it justice. :)

[girl12161]

They  should put out a live album...this performance is awsome

[iseeyoubrightly]

that would rock!

[ZackVitus]

I love the natural sound of it all. It's like wood and grass.

[hotdogsurprise]

holy crap this is amazing footage jocelyn!

[iseeyoubrightly]

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT, BBF!?

[dreadlock89]

"hold on" hahahahaha awesome band. Worship the God who created you!!!

[Sonic3000]

im starting to like this band cuz theyre so weird... but i just said that about dh cuz of the dh1904 fan and so am i... i hate when geeks start defending theyre posts when ppl bash them.. not that i did but, there will always be critics and fans no matter what

[tubeovideo]

well said

theirs always a geek with no musical taste

[esamuels88]

how can u compare them to demon hunter...two different sounds

[Sonic3000]

they are the weirdest band ever.. in a way its kinda kool.. (oh and demon hunter is the best band ever)

[iseeyoubrightly]

no way! there are sooo many weirdo bands out there! like.. maps and atlases, and joanna newsom

[imeuru]

This show is such a great memory. Our son was only a week old and we brought him to this. I remember really creeping them out after the show by telling them they could stay at our place. Awesome time, I always cite this as our 1st son's 1st concert. Thanks for posting!

[iseeyoubrightly]

aww that is too cute! you are welcome! you make me want to put them on a dvd so you can show him when he is older!

[demonhunter1904]

Still have not yet come to the realization of this being anything close to talent or even tolerable.

[iseeyoubrightly]

that's fine, you don't have to!

[nbrigmon]

Nice name loser.

[AutAmoAutMors]

ok umm dude... im guessing by your name you like the band demon hunter so...

[demonhunter1904]

You better believe it.... way more inspirational, and a lot more melodic in the ears (referring to there softer ballads such as 'Heartstrings, Deteriorate, and 1000 Apologies'. Plus, they don't look like terrorists......

[iseeyoubrightly]

uh oh

[tubeovideo]

dude if u dont get it just ignore it

dont listen to them go to ur little closed mind and keep listening to those demon hunter

[demonhunter1904]

So... If me liking Demon Hunter over MeWithoutYou makes me closed minded... Would that make you closed minded for liking MeWithoutYou over Demon Hunter?... Just a question... From a remark like that, I just assume that your very thoughtless and highly uneducated.

[tubeovideo]

yay

ur so smart

now got to your mom and tell her u love her

great!.. have a nice day

[demonhunter1904]

....... It's "Go to your mom"... But nice try!!!

[Blurrymoon85]

I miss these guys... I haven't seen them live since they were with Brand New and they seemed a little rushed on time. I believe they're coming back around at the ottobar soon? I do believe and hope so. If not, looks like i'll be traveling to Pittsburgh. haha.

[iseeyoubrightly]

oh hah! they played in pittsburgh on the seventh! AND! i accidently deleted all my brand new music! my life is wrecked!

[Blurrymoon85]

aw dang! haha i know how you feel, I've been without music on my computer for a long, long while. Probably about a year or two now, but i'll be able to get it all back next week so i'm pretty excited. I've just been youtubing stuff since, haha.

But mayhaps i'll see you on the 28th, then! :]

[iseeyoubrightly]

ah, i'll be away at school then!

[iseeyoubrightly]

also : Aug 28 20097:00P

The Ottobar **Weiss Family Show**Baltimore, Maryland

awesome!

[R3V3NGE]

the weiss family tour is going to be awsome! i just saw them last month and they were amazing, cant wait to see them the 26th, its going to be different than their other stuff but its going to be mindblowing nonetheless

[nbrigmon]

IM SEEING THEM TMRW!!

[iseeyoubrightly]

NICE! I saw them two days ago!

[nbrigmon]

They were amazing, played all the songs i wanted, even some i didnt know, Aaron is facinating.

[RockAddict311]

Lol "Hold on Mikey"

[PIGMENTGRAHITE]

GREATEST BAND IN THIS DECADE. Aaron IS MY IDOL

[iseeyoubrightly]

i'm going to see them this week!

[PIGMENTGRAHITE]

Lucky you. You should check out this band called "immaculate machine". I'm going to buy their new album.

[suigetsu777]

can someone tab this song ?? plis !!

[jscornerstone]

2:13

[DiJohnny18]

It was great to hear this song live, but I missed them yelling the line, "I WANTED TO SAY! I WANTED TO SAAAAYYAAAAYYAAYAY! I WANTED TO SAY! I WANTED TO SAAAAYAYAYAAYAYAY!"

[rmnice]

they didnt yell it because that wasn't them, it was former Sunny Day Real Estate lead singer Jeremy Enigk on the albm

[Alayneee]

i love this band

[timmypagezoso]

this was probably one of the funniest live performances i've seen. Its always nice to just see a band chill up on stage and have a good time.

[Jessemac3992]

1:20 the guitarist comes in too early.

[J0NBR]

Wow, how observant. Great job.

[Jessemac3992]

dont know if that was sarcastic

[likelullabiesx]

sarcasm because you had nothing better to say!

[angelbelow182]

<3<3<3<3

[Catalyst1423]

cause there uniques i saw them live and talked to them there amazing people and band

[Tkoop]

you know what i would be so happy if mewithoutyou put out a accustic record

[merola1024]

the new one practically is an acoustic album.

[soccerjunkie7]

haha aaron weiss is funny as mess.

[bewkowski]

yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[boomstix1]

what the hell how are they soooo amazing

[2tonsoup]

who does the "in darkness the light shines on me, in darkness the light shines on me." it sound like gavid gilmore but its not in they're shows

[elshek]

i think it was the guy from sunny day real estate, but i don't know that for sure.

[thecall4]

it is.

[InvaderChrissy]

Sweet!!! They are so GREAT live. Nice video!!

[mrumberger13]

this sounds like a mexan infant's shit

[pudgeyboy]

how so?

extrapolate

[mrumberger13]

the music could be good until the singer opens his mouth. the lyrics may be good but i cant get by the noise.

[pudgeyboy]

but what does that have to do with "a mexican infants shit?" and why didnt you just say that in the first place? its an immensely more intelligent argument. his voice isn't for everyone. i personally love it because it is his actual voice, not some pitch corrected bullshit. thats just me.

[mrumberger13]

im not saying he shouldnt use his real voice... a lot of bands use the singers real voice. but he could actually sing the words instead of just speaking into the microphone.

[wonderbiscuitwonder]

I love his voice though. Spoken/singing mix really works for me. It's kind of an acquired taste I think, but nonetheless, I love it.

Every time I hear this poet speak, it makes me want to write more. Such an amazing guy, and an amazing band nonetheless.

[mrumberger13]

fair enough, i think i would like them a lot more if they sung more. i have only heard them sing like 2 lines in the songs ive heard

[MaxAndGrrrace]

on the newest cd they sing a whoooole lot more, so get it when it comes out!

[iseeyoubrightly]

ah! when does it come out! i've been so out of the loop! is it "mewithoutyou and friends" as speculated?

[dabonk]

its out now search youtube for timothy hay, bullet to binary 2, allah allah allah, those are some of the songs.

[RaspberryIceT]

They do have a lot of extra instrumentation that wasn't used in previous albums. And they brought in a lot of different people to do so, but they're still just mewithoutYou for this album.

[Brian12327]

eh I like him not singing but his singing is alright.

If you do want to hear their new CD check out my page.

[iseeyoubrightly]

ah, yes, some people do not enjoy his vocal style.

[iseeyoubrightly]

have you been to mexico?

[firman76imation]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[McPherson123]

LOL 2:40 "In my little world...covered up some pornographic DVD's with our poster in my little world." That was one of the best adlibs in any live performance ever.

[Kaylena61103]

This version of O Porcupine is ridiculously awesome. Mewithoutyou is amazing live, wherever the venue may be!

[buttersboy]

this is so cool. This is exactly why i love Mewithoutyou.

[nomorekingz]

first off, yes it will. if i kick it hard enough.

and secondly, its not impossible to do that.

its actually quite easy.

so shut the fuck up, and quit talking shit.

[thoughtsofdivinity]

you clearly know nothing about what mewithoutYou stands for.

[nomorekingz]

you guys better stop talking so much shit!

mewithoutYou is fucking amazing, unlike you assholes.

i'll beat all your fucking asses if you don't shut the fuck up.

[iseeyoubrightly]

that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. first of all- beating someone up won't make them change their mind, second- it is physically impossible therefore your threat is empty and vain

[wittyhobos]

i have to agree. i love mewithoutYou and nomorekingz makes me like them less

[aok116]

great band! great song! I love these guys!

That looks like it was fun!

[iseeyoubrightly]

it was!

[endlesscarousel]

wow. this is awesome. acoustic, drummer on the djimbe. amazing. for the first few seconds i thought it was a cover. lol.

[iseeyoubrightly]

lol, nope! them playing stuff from brother sister when it first came out

[Viciousd]

LOL hilarious... I love mewithoutYou

[CoreyGaII]

are people really this stupid...?

[xtommy2377x]

how does my opinion of a band make me stupid, dont be one sided

[iseeyoubrightly]

well, i'm not the one to call you stupid. but you don't provide any support for your statement, therefore, people are less likely to believe what you have to say. if you ever take a speech class you will hear that over and over. not that we are speaking, really, but any paper, really, would emphasis that you back your opinions

[bkzboyy]

this song is GENIUS

Your eyes to mine, "You'd be well inclined NOT TO MESS WITH ME"

[1234drunk]

simply amazing

[interdimensionatron]

fuck...

[iseeyoubrightly]

O_o ?

[interdimensionatron]

in a good way!!!! bouchedags

[UnboltedDoor]

Well then I agree with your comment. This song is amazing.

[DeathofBabylon]

That was nicely put, my friend.

[0mnif00l]

What a sic guy!

You know 1 Samuel talks about how jonathon was like David's friend and they made a covenant,Jonathon did everything to help David. David did great things but wept even more than Jonathon when they had to part.

You look at aaron and you say, whos he? David or Jonathon?

Not like it matters too much.both David and Jonathon lived right before God.

I want to pray, he's David so that he'll b lifted up but I want to pray he's Jonathon, so that he'd b there for someone who needs him.

[steveoneato1]

Oh man, I was like exactly to the right of you.

This was such an amazing show.
