Thee Oh Sees - Block Of Ice

[ChessemillX]

kind of sounds like the Monks..

[UTFRG]

Way slower tempo than the album almost different song

[SteeThreePO]

Fighting over such a miniscule thing such as youtube comments is not what this music is about

[MotleygnrCrue]

If my life is ever made into a movie, I want this song to the opening credits.

[VersusTheAir]

The Mission.

[WardyBoy91]

Damn missed the video cause I was busy reading the "Tales of the Mega Troll" that this comment section has provided...

O well, *Replays*

[DarlingBeTrue]

this and ty segall.. my god these people are my life

[SleepyDisso]

[polishbroadcast]

I love when Thee Oh Sees take their time. Love this track.

[movielvr91]

[dissolutionsolution]

YouTube arguments aside, this sounds pretty sweet.

[wovenlion]

Awesome band!

[15CallsToHome]

LOVE THIS

[MrCozza1991]

Rocking the let's interface t. Ironic considering the internet argument this video created right? Deeeeeep

[rageagainsttheworld]

What kind of mics are they using?

[stephentrageser]

@rageagainsttheworld

looks like shure green bullets

[SHITTBAGGcuz]

Is this at Ocean Beach?

[dippedinsht]

now this is what im talking about! pitty we don't get more like this in England.

[Robertalanoliva]

i uploaded 2 songs from the new album come check it out and maybe i'll upload all of it :p

[kidluna]

I feel like if you try to act cool in a band... you are a fucking idiot.

[ojoroto]

this band is incredible live. I feel sorry for those who have seen them live and don't like them. their energy is contagious. great band.

[TheAdobeHouse]

@perfamy don't cry

[dolmankh]

@shankvale-can we see/hear something you've created?

[jwrogers89]

who wants to bet on the number of dicks shankvale's sucked in the pst 5 years??? i say 14....

[TheBlueEyedHonky]

The slowness just matches up to what they're singing about. Awesome version. 

[washedpotatoes]

wow this is fucking awesome. i want to rape the person who showed me this band

[makky123]

@washedpotatoes I'm sure they would appreciate that...

[SometimesElinor]

"NAILED IT!" *guitar noise*

[perfamy]

lol, is this a can cover? OMG now I see why that guy was getting so angry. Umm that is very bad of you thee ohh sees. My connection is your connection.

Look up can, connection, 1969, they took the lyrics!

[AnonymousUser03]

woah, such a calm song accompanied with BANTER. haha that's a first

[twentynothing]

why the vocals remind me of r2d2 lol

ocean beach tho

[ForAhoneyBeh]

So, um, back on track?

I def like this slowed down version better. But, nontheless. It's great. They're great.

[cholocharile]

John Dwyer's best band by far.

[fishingforflies]

i like the faster version of this song better, but this band seriously rocks.

[destroyourselves]

shankvale - if you don't like it, get fucked and fuck off.

[shankvale]

@destroyourselves So...you're like, a Nazi or some shit? I will leave a non-abusive opinion about them if I want and some junkie fuck isn't going to change that. You kids may think you came across something profound when you first heard these guys, and I don't care, you can die thinking that. But in all honesty, they are bad. They took a couple of songs and, ripping them off, used them to makes dozens of their own.

[destroyourselves]

@shankvale i like how you make false accusations towards me... a junkie? look you fucking troll - you accomplish nothing by being negative. if you don't like the band fine.. that isn't the issue here. you are like those fucking pitchfork or nme album reviewers... please, spare us. you have an opinion. that doesn't make you cool nor does it make you entitled to be a smug little prick. period.

[TheBrownRabbit]

@destroyourselves The comeback to end all comebacks! Bravo!

[bluerondoo]

Blah blah blah, big words lil dick

[shankvale]

@bluerondoo Have some bad news for you buddy, I don't think that's how it works. Sorry you wasted all that time trying to fix your problem by talking like a trained parrot.

[skinnydoggyz]

@shankvale YOU SUCK CHODEZ. . . COCKSUCKER.

[tuffoctopus]

what's the microphones they're using? Incredible band!

[puzzdos]

Shure Green Bullet.

[haolekillah]

it looks like they built their own old school mic to get that sound

[forgive17]

@tuffoctopus they are home made telephone mics. actually rather easy to make.

[forgive17]

@tuffoctopus you can make it buy taking an old phone take out the ear speaker disconnect the wires from digital board thing. i dont know what its called. than cut a guitar cable and attach the colored cords and leave the one with the clear surrounding attached to nothing. plug it into and amp and talk into it.

[HansHellman]

sounds like a harmonica mic

[shankvale]

Man these guys are some of the lamest posers I've ever seen.

[quintincollins]

You don't say. What are they "posing" as?

[shankvale]

So you agree that they are lame posers. They don't have to be posing as anything, take it as an expression rather then a literal observation.

[quintincollins]

I might agree that they aren't good at posing. They sure are lame at posing. The point is moot, I supPOSE, since your Comment isn't an observation about this video.

[shankvale]

Oh, it is an observation about this video. Deliberately misinterpreting what I say is not a very effective method of conversation.

These guys are acting, I look at them and see some talentless dickheads pretending to be a band, pretending to make music. This is, of course, the same with the vast majority of bands. If they spent less time attempting to recreate their perceived image of a band & more time being an actual band I would respect them, whether I personally enjoyed their music or not.

[quintincollins]

Sorry I was busy listening to the video again. Did you say something?

[MLiveriadis]

@ shankvale; its called a music video... i don't see how they're 'posers' at all... the whole point of these video clips are as a bit of a creative showcase of themselves and various scenic spots around the bands hometown- there is nothing wrong with that.

[shankvale]

Sure, I don't disagree. I am just saying that I look at these guys & they don't float my boat. Have you never listened to a band or watched their videos & thought "I don't like these guys, they are lame"? Different people, different tastes. When I see these guys I think, "man, these guys are trying way too hard and their music sounds like uncreative shit." I thought the same thing when I saw them live even though I gave them the benefit of the doubt & was hoping to enjoy their live performance.

[BobSeger1981]

why are you trying so hard to like a hand you think is "lame" ? That's weird.

[shankvale]

Wow that is taking what I said out of context to the extreme, I'm guessing you have never been known for your brains. If you think keeping an open mind about a band that left a poor first impression means "trying really hard" to like them, then I think you need to go read a dictionary for a while or something because you are clearly lacking a basic understanding of the English language.

[Tobelfish]

Someone should be "the bigger man" and leave the argument. Seeing as this it a music video of the band, posted mainly for fans to admire, I think that "man" should be you.

[TonyMoans]

@shankvale are you a philosophy major or something, what's with all those boring words bro

[shankvale]

You may not find the 'boring words' so boring if you had have received an education at school instead of dropping out to collect the garbage from the front of my house each week.

[destroyourselves]

@shankvale uh... he's right...

[ffs7313]

@shankvale uncool

[Meakthemighty]

@shankvale take your negativity somewhere else you fucking sheep.

I happen to love the garbage outside of your house...except for all the bloody tampons from your bloody period vagina.

[parkplatzbizon]

|:D

[perfamy]

@shankvale Herro, I was wondering how do you define a band? What things do they need to have to be one? Could you give an example of a band or song thee oh sees are ripping off or posing as? Thanks. I was also wondering, do you think they are just scene kids only playing in a band for the credibility, instead of the sake of the music? I think it's funny that you bothered complaining about this band when there are so many worse bands that are making music for the sake of money, they are evil. :P

[ItsGiiiiibb]

@shankvale You really have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe if you actually knew your music rather than trying to act like a smart ass than you could criticize someone correctly. So cool it.

[shankvale]

I'm cool baby, and I can't act so you are wrong about me acting like a smart ass. I don't know any more about music then the next guy but I will say that this shit rattles my bones rather then my loins like the good stuff does.

[ItsGiiiiibb]

Well, baby, its all in opinions, isnt it.

[shankvale]

Indeed it is baby, I'm glad I can finally have mine without someone spitting in my face.

[pazisad]

video's like captain beefheart & his magic band at cannes beach (:

[sajorojas1]

That's what I thought! Needs more slide!

[tunaqnl]

i like this soooong

[kommievision]

yep. that is what i would call nice. stripped down, bare bones, crazy mofo ass nice.

[tokyohalogen]

grace slickish

[bosoxboy3]

i like the tone of their electric instruments

[beatcrazedteen]

that riff sounds like "hurricane fighter plane" don't you think

[obie1963]

absolutely

[analogrevolutionary]

this is some of the best and most creditable bands i have heard in a very long time! and i seriously dislike most new music.. hats off to thee oh sees!

[LilRedRasta]

@analogrevolutionary look up sleepy sun, black mountain, tame impala, crystal stilts, ty segall, deerhunter, wolf people, the strange boys, ubyk, and conan mockasin. good bands kind of like this. that retro sound.

[wierdhoof81]

tick tock stop don't stop til you drop

[Kunstmarchen]

Kickass! Thanks a ton, man!
