ahhh this reminds me of high school! haven't heard them in so long, whatever happened to Guster?? why didn't they stick around they were amazing ..either that or ive lost track of them somewhere :P
oh man i saw guster in concert like 8 years ago and the drummer played so hard that his hands bled and had to retape his hands like 4 different times throughout the concert! THAT is true passion and dedication for music!
@MwPrice102 0096luke is correct that they probably dubbed a few extra layers in but Guster has been known to use distortion and other effects on their acoustic instruments.
Back in high school, my friends and I would sit around analyzing songs. Our theory on this one was that it was about John W. Hinckley. The movie star was Jodie Foster, the typewriter was the one he used to write to her, and the gun was the one he shot Reagan with.
@dfrioli Wow good theory but no. They admitted it was about jacking off in an interview I saw. Plus the whole "drip drop a lovely dream" refers to a wet dream
@jojabury It's a bunch of stoners from Boston what do you expect? Haha, you gotta love them, going to see them in Cleveland in just two days so excited!!!!
this song is very deep, it's about how to ask another person for help when you hate that person. Putting aside your hatred because you know that they are the only ones that can help you.
@punanibuzzed my mind is not in the wrong place. Guster admitted it for goodness sake!! its not an immature thing to say, if anything this song shows you how awesome of a band guster because they took a pretty vulgar topic and created a song that creates an image of both comfort and intimacy. im a huge fan of guster and im not trying to bash them. In fact, im praising them!!
@punanibuzzed It is about him idolizing (and likely masturbating to) a beautiful woman he doesn't know. "I know a movie star/ I've got her plastered to my wall/ just like we're dear old friends..." "God damn you movie star, can't you just play a minute more."
@JOke622 Hahahaha. I don't think that's what the song's really about, but the lyrics do sound like it. Its sort of a weird song when you have that perspective on it
KINK radio here in Portland (Oregon, not Maine) is playing every song in their library and this came up and pretty goddamned good song! Off to iTunes to get it so hope the band gets their 2 cents royalty.
dude the conga-drum set is killer!! guster is awesome..all their songs r so different..theres so much variety. i loovvvveee this band!! check 'em out peepz!
I have never sucked cock while listening to Guster and I know this comment wasn't directed toward me, but that's a good idea. I'm sad I didn't think of it first but thanks for the suggestion!
Sonofguitargod: Age 105? Favorite videos: Some guy with a huge mouth, some obese chick.... What kind of person are you? I cant even imagine how you behave in the real world. Did something traumatic happen to you as a child? or Did you just come out this way? And are you able to speak once without making a reference to someone else's cock?
One of Guster's best songs by the way, i would die to be able to sound as talented as any one of these guys.
I got here through a weird link from Fandom Wank and a vid on a anime named "Persimmon," and I can't believe these guys; they are SOOOO excellent, I can't stop listening to them. Anyone here in Argentina (and there are a lot of them) that will sit with me and watch them is just rocked. Thank God I can go back to the US after my vacation and maybe see them live; that would be...just...GOOD. And YES--the TYPEWRITER!
any band who can use a typewriter as a percussion instrument without looking stupid is kind of epic in my book. ditto any drummer who can play the cymbals WITH HIS HANDS??? (brian!)
