Studio 360 Live: tUnE-yArDs, "Bizness"

[calmerthanyouaredude]

Dassit!!

[JasonLS051]

This is groovy as hell and hard to resist. There is something wonderful to be said about her tone of voice and varying levels of energy... And as for 'chip on my musical shoulder,' 1ofdiamonds, he's the one who's seeming pedantically esoteric.

[jonanjello]

This lady's channeling something . . . !

[jonanjello]

I like that sax intro

[phobiazzzero]

omg..fucking awesome...

so underrated only 20k views...wtf people

[mikvallee]

dude. fuckin yes. fucking fucking. yes.



[qwertiuiops]

sigh. I guess someone needs to point out that studio 360 is a RADIO SHOW and audience members aren't allowed to move around. sigh again... I don't even know why I read youtube comments, except for morbid curiosity. The amount of rudeness and ignorance displayed is mind-boggling. When a person gains a little wisdom you realize that you don't have to even remotely like a piece of music to appreciate the skill and artistry involved. imho this is WAY above average.

[ManuelAGuerrero1]

I like music, but I don't consider myself a musical expert of anything. After reading about this "group", I had to check it out. Respectfully, I just don't get it. The lead seems to be very talented, I can see that, but I don't connect with this at all. So for all of you fans that are gushing with praise and adoration, good for you, but please don't judge the members of the audience that sit still in front of this awesomeness. Maybe they don't like it. I would have walked out after this song.

[ogo62]

This music is so awesome George Lucas created a time machine to be a part of it and play bass.

[pendeltoncky]

i would love to see this band live. they just seem like they have so much energy, i can almost taste it online. amazing.

[sidesh0w25]

@pendeltoncky Then do it! I have seen them and they are fantastic!

[frgrgfrdf]

standing still+tune yards does not mix...i dont know how those people can contain themselves

[darrienmack]

@frgrgfrdf Exactly. That chick that is off to the bottom left of the screen is an idiot. MOVE!!! Feel the music. Tune-Yards cannot move through a human body without muscle spazzums. She must be an alien.

[chrisMmckee]

What kind of an audience is this? That one lady looks like she's watching c-span. I would be grinning like an idiot if I was there. My body would involuntarily be moving.

[ghostguy1]

oh this is some gorgeous shit..........

[tsti1es]

good stuff, its rare to see youth breaking away from the typical genres

[jolenerose]

I can't stand seeing the people in the audience just sitting there, staring. I want to get up and sing and dance when I hear this song!

[Tensen01]

@jolenerose I know, all her music makes me want to jump out of my seat

[Snutchi]

Vocals a bit higher please

[fuzzydunlop365]

That woman in the front must be in a coma

[lucidzirkus]

she makes me cry

[BRIfuckingANA]

Righteous Sweaters!!!!! they're most sweet ......:)

[1ofdiamonds]

Completely, utterly unoriginal. These guys (especially the fat little stinkbox that fronts them) would be farting into mics if it weren't for Steve Reich and... Meredith Monk!!! How dare they so blatantly plagiarise i.e. give no credit for a stolen sound. Crafty little hipster businesspeople - "I know, I'll use my 'encyclopaedic' knowledge of music against the very people I can be most identified with for dollar". If you buy this the joke really is on you. Sickening. Not to mention pathetic

[SleepyVMusic]

@1ofdiamonds If you'd like to read about her, she most certainly cites her influences, which include African high-life music, pop singers, and jam bands (and not American minimalism). The concept of rhythmic and melodic cycles is not a particularly new one, and was not one when it was introduced to the classical world by Philip Glass and Steve Reich. Even the most naive of critics should realize that the quality of a work is in the listener's experience and not the theoretical explanation of it.

[1ofdiamonds]

@SleepyVMusic Yes, aspects of American Minimalism (i.e. Reich's "Drumming" & the rhythmic aspects of some works thereafter) were derived from African Music. So... Merrill whatever her name is has gone back to source... to cover her back (because citing Minimalism as an influence is NOWHERE near esoteric enough for a hipster with too much time on their hands now is it?). You really think she was listening to African high-life BEFORE encountering Minimalism? As an American? No. My opinion stands

[obietom]

@1ofdiamonds Thank you, Philip, for speaking out on behalf of oppressed minimalist composers everywhere. Anyone else want in? Steve? LaMonte? Erik?

[VerKnackular]

@SleepyVMusic IDK if i want to punch you or hug you. Love this band though.

[newherkimer]

@1ofdiamonds

My goodness, aren't we arrogant and pretentious. Would it be okay with you if the rest of us on the planet enjoyed music once in a while, or do you want to continue to keep it all for yourself?

[xofpi]

@1ofdiamonds Talk about sickening and pathetic!

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

@1ofdiamonds it's funny because not everyone influenced by someone else is a complete rip off, it's also funny because you clearly don't know what you're talking about

[homerunv]

Merrill, I love you. Just sayin'.

[manymystics]

i would be dancing

[towindwrd]

totally into this amazingly creative song...facebooked it for sharing. But where did they find the audience, a zombie crew filming in the next studio?

[xenos82]

holy fuck.

[JayGroYEAH]

i hate the audience members for not freakin grooving to this awesomness

[eleikus]

@JayGroYEAH: I was thinking the same thing... most look like freakin' corpses

[jubei444]

The Curt Anderson crowd is mellow and intellectual, give them a break. If it wasn't for this performance on this show, I would never have known about this amazing talent. So thank you Studio 360! Also, this version is just as magical as the studio cut in my opinion!

[td4uga]

@JayGroYEAH The only moving I would be doing is to the door to this crap.
