I saw this cool picture in fashion rocks magazine back in 2008 of these two cool looking musicians, so i cut it out and put it on my wall. I started listening to the kills last year, and i just watched this video. Turns out they've been on my wall this whole time.
I don't think the concept of "completely original" even exists. :) Even the velvet underground had their inspirations. Everyone wants to be "unique" but we can't help but be affected by everything we come in contact with. Something that was truly completely original would probably appear so alien that we couldn't even identify with it. But, I'm over-thinking it. Good music anyway. :D
@avedic Wasn't the idea of creating art in a vacuum what let to the Shaggs? I read somewhere they were raised in isolation of culture and learned to play instruments on their own. I also find them unlistenable...just goes to show you, you can be 100% original and wind up going beyond anyone's frame of reference.
@avedic Anyone looking for something 100% original...without ANY reference to anything else ever before seen, felt, heard, tasted, or known... Smoke some DMT.
@avedic I dont know how many times I have humed a tune thinking it kicked ass and was my own creation, then to later here it somewhere else; realizing that I only remembered something my conscious mind had forgotten
@avedic i dunno. i suppose all artists hope they offer something completely original - to say it's their very own. many don't care for direct comparisons. but then to be compared to the velvet underground is nothing but complimentary so you're probably right
best version of this song ever. excellent sound. what could be better than driving around america, staying in random motels, and playing amazing music with your best friend and musical soulmate?
saw these guys in concert three days ago and i have to say, they are one of the greatest live bands that i have ever seen.
