Dan Deacon, Pitchfork 2007

[FrastuonoSelvaggio]

Fantastic! For the first time there isn't nobody with the fucking camera and everybody think to dance...(sorry for my horrible english)

[gomesdmoura]

oh my goddd!!!acid is bad

[Unpublished89]

VIEL ZU GEIL!!

[jigsoree]

so why is his ipod on a banana ?

[DoctorGenesis]

@jigsoree Because ipods can be plugged into banana's and fully charge.

[TheThroney]

why do people keep chuckin shit at him?

[dreaddog]

Legend!

[Jameskerouak]

I do believe this chap's a genius. Well done old boy!

[MussyPagnet]

Hey look! A fatass! And some hipsters!

Can you imagine the amount of fixed-gear bicycles there must have been at this gig?

[kamikazewatermelon12]

@MussyPagnet I'd fuck em

[isti75]

@MussyPagnet wow, spot on, I do ride fixed and I'd love to see him live. so what's wrong with Dan Deacon or fixed gear bikes? :-D only kidding, rhetoric question, nothing :-p

[whipplethewhipple1]

bands are much better than ipods.

[Scone54]

I want to smack that big purple baseball cap of that girls head

[rapethenun]

@Neuropelisis

And that's the way we like it.

[thprmr]

OMG, I want to be his friend. :D

blasted ipod shuffle:]

[award]

ipod shuffle taped to a banana...? god i love this guy

[Neuropelisis]

Holy shit what a pretentious garbage.

[jasoncash]

@Neuropelisis pretentions why? I think its preatty honest shit.

[RamzGT]

deacons hayday

I saw him at iDrum in ATL

[bashthebandello]

utter garbage! guy thinks he's a genius

[dcheek222]

That "sassy" part gave me chills

[TheSasha555]

God I love emo.

It's so fucking artsy.

[BeterKayfabe]

@TheSasha555 That's cool. This isn't emo in any way, shape or form.

[Pareidolic]

@TheSasha555

'emo' refers to a very specific style of music-- this isn't even remotely close to emo. also, artsy != emo. art has been around for thousands of years; it wasn't invented by the hipster subculture.

[Ipat42]

this is so awesome

[MrGrevy]

Bizarre, stupid and depressing

[chestnut111111]

greatest moment ever. GAMH SF.

[Alucarduu]

He is like a giant among men.

[theanalyticalkid]

drugs are fun

[revenge254]

Looks fun lol

[remember149]

Drugs or not, Dan Deacon is the fuckin shit.... True Entertainer...

[HeThrewUpEverywhere]

musssshhhhrrrrooooooomsss

[mtutersable]

his ipod is strapped to a banana

[Mziqoski]

lud :))

[SKiLLeDcs]

That Asian dude behind him is so fucked up.

[monaflipas]

why?

[SKiLLeDcs]

Looks stoned to me. Go to 2:20

[monaflipas]

hahahaa

[EvanCo93]

"If you're gonna stand right behind me, DON'T FUCK WITH ME."

LOL

[robimderobim]

this is beautiful beautiful!!

[xVoodeedoox]

OMG i must know this song...

what song is it? is it released?

[eric69]

Silence Like The Wind

and i dont think its been released =(

[xVoodeedoox]

ah well, i remade it. XD i have like,, two songs i covered that are artists performing great songs live but never released. kinda like aphex twin like at rome, part 3.

[crackmunch]

the best

[TheTwelveStringist]

To everyone that doesn't like this. Your thinking too hard. This is about the experience not the music. It's about the people experiencing it with you and not about the performer. I wish quality music did this but until then Dan Deacon is the fucking man.

[Ryanlt]

@TheTwelveStringist i kind of disagree with you... i think this is in fact quality music, very refreshing.

[NelsonMuntzPhoto]

i can make any comment i want to. I watched this video and a few others on DD and the music is terrible and done that way on purpose - this audience and him could use a good shower.

[NonCommente]

cool story, bro

[soulheadshot]

then why do all these people like him ? VVVVVV

[NelsonMuntzPhoto]

this crap actually makes American Idol look good...

[dmanyanksfan]

don't comment if u have absolutely no understanding of who dan deacon is

[spongah]

hahaha he's got an ipod strapped to a banana

[TheElitePwnager]

what the fuck is this? i'd say its shitty music but its not music... just ... shitty with ppl high out of their minds

[Compooky121]

Does this song have a name?

[handsomeboydildo6]

silence like the wind overtakes me?...haha i think it was a random jam track he had

[Compooky121]

Well i assumed that but I've never seen it on any CD.

[posthumanhero]

its amazing his equipment stays in tact.....seems inevitable that something would get knocked over.....the whole table even.....godforbid

[alyoshaproductions]

everybody wants to feel

[stiledurostiledivita]

f. idol

[stellarbus08]

this is wonderful. i'm so glad someone got this on film. nicely done.

i'm seeing him sunday at lollapalooza, cant wait.

[gwillbizzle]

Man I went to pitchfork this year, I just wonder what stage he was at, for all the crowd to be so close to him!

[justcamp]

When I have seen him (little different since he has a band these days), the Deac is in the crowd in front of whatever stage he performs at.

[hambone8080]

where's Project Pitchfork?

[phoneboothLC]

wheres pithfork?

[thelimesmusic]

pitchfork festival is in chicago ;)

[sortofawesome]

what cd is this song on??

[bobpepper]

Dan Deacon #*($*#(#( ! 

That is all.

[GoggleEyedOne]

mind you, i wouldn't be surprised if he began his own polygamous, casiotone-playing cult haha.

[GoggleEyedOne]

at least he isn't up on stage like some holier-than-thou ponce. very, very few electronic artists interact with their audience like this. good luck to him.

[stompied]

Why doesn't this sound like the latest Britney Spears hit?

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

HAha, my god, these hippies are DEEEP. What a waste of space and energy.

[SpellingBeeMaster]

The word is "hipster". Not hippie.

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

How interesting, except for those people in the video are not Hipsters, nor is Dan Deacon a hipster, get your lame ass poser group names straight.

[CasuallyObsessed34]

What the fuck. That doesn't even make sense...?

[kemist33]

wow people that listen to his music look as stupid as he does lol, one weird dude. his music makes no sence

[DPTG23]

what like you, watching his videos?

[andrewkoke]

the girl in the purple hat is the worst

[realhewdshug]

If the chick in the black shirt and purple hat is watching this, I love you. You are beautiful.

[PerhapsToast2]

so his live shows consist of him playing his beats via ipod and just singin gove rit?

[Rollercoasterluver12]

are they all on something fukin crackheads

[goodmorningcaptain00]

good point, Roller coaster luver 12...

[Bladeboy311]

so... awesome

[frictionmisi]

HAHAHAHA!!! UOOOOOUUU!!!!!

[ubtng]

I'm glad I share a birthday (same year, too! o_O) with Dan Deacon.

[niguaahahahaha]

i think everybody in the crowd is tone deaf..this shit sucks

[gyozomisao]

what is this song called?

[fanton2005]

its called silence like the wind over takes me

[UHDE0]

Dan Deacon is God.

[sail247]

i was at one of his concerts last night and it was so much fun. if he's in your town go no matter what

[zeldahalomanhunt]

INTENSITY

[born1901]

I think it's...stupid

[paullevack]

this is a great example of the awesome shit that is happening in music especially with beats and syths!!!

GO ELECTRONICS

[DreadpirateRobinson]

This is fucking brilliant.

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

this looks like a blast. being old and responsible sucks.

[wstunder]

Modgoth, go and have a ball! I had tickets to see him a half a year ago but got very sick. His shows remind me a bit of Grand Buffet, who are so sorely underrated. Anyhow, with all the pain and suffering going on, screw what your friends think and let loose. As for his music, this guy can make some seriously good compositions (his new cd is proof of that). Don't be fooled by the goofiness.

[Modgoth]

I going to his show for the first time in May, and I know Im gonna be apprehensive about the weird cult like stuff Dans audience does in his live performances. But all his songs seem to end with this amazing energy that I might get the urge participate myself. Too bad none of my friends understand Dans music, looks like I might be going to his show solo which makes thing even more awkward.

[poopynonsense]

i am in the exact same situation tonight.

how was it?

[n8tehgr8]

I cannot say with a straight face that this is good music. But I can sincerly say that what this dude is doing is awesome.

[polarbearstoenail]

Wish I was fucked up all of them!

[konradharla]

lol...

[Carpet531]

how hell did ever one knew when to throw their hands in the air at the same time?

Also, it look like the woman in the purple hat is not a Dan Deacan fan. Look like she was trying to get his attention.

[blahh231]

hahhahha what is this like jim jones and jonestown

[plutosmokes]

thats a real show!!!!

[dhi416]

I agree with veandr. This is possibly the STUPIDEST thing I've seen in.. quite possibly my entire life. It reminds me of the kind of shit that I notice pops up onto those Nick Jr channels and other things for like.. 5 year olds.

Everyone keeps getting dumber and dumber.

[indigenaurbano]

what i like from this video, whether the music is "good" or "bad", the people are on drugs or not... is the love that can be seen, felt. It feels like everybody in that frame are loving, are just feeling it... and that is just amazing.

[indigenaurbano]

mich auch! :)

[g0tcadaver]

this thing sucks and basically everyone here is a faggot. there isn't a question in my mind about that

[imjustinb]

shut up, go listen to nickelback

[willhicks88]

Thats fuckin hilarious anyone who doesn't like this guy would like fuckin nicleback

[KidAdventures]

hahahahaha exactly.

[veandr]

Or possibly the STUPIDEST thing you've seen in a long time. Irony is kind of ironic that way...

[carrotropejive]

bitch in the purp hat is all up in Deak's shit

[CyanideLacrosse]

holy fuck

that is an intense show

i must go see this man live

[benbrett14]

I want what their on

[elvirasnotnose]

wtffffffff

[AviationCity]

Only in America can a fat balding dude with playskool instruments become a rockstar.

badass shit though. i was there. he was one funny motherfucker.

[eric69]

its not always about looks

he makes good music and hes a great performer

=)

[samthefireball]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[japonega]

amazing

[eric69]

the girl in the purple hat is on acid!

[raccoonsfly]

ahha i think the majority of them are

[rohanvonneoray]

this guys great - but he aint doing much in the way of playing his electronics, just an observation

[magicman0201]

epic!

[eric69]

what song is this?

[sackfettdesign]

how he calls his kind of Music? but anyway its fantastic its a kind of art

[Doctahstringz]

hahaha "blasted ipod shuffle"go Dan XD i went to this concert

[huduguru33]

fuckin bullshit

[Lameeeee]

got to see him last night in a warehouse with like 50 people..sooo good!

[jrodbidlow]

cue hipster police

[FiveBucksFool]

That kid in the red shirt behind Dan is rolling so hard, hahaha.

[CatBringer]

wow wtf how can any1 think this shit is good?

[TommyDelicious]

some people actually have a general appreciation of live music, no matter the genre, the fans, the stigma.

I don't listen to electronic music a whole lot, but with a powerful crowd like this, i would have jumped right in and started dancing.

it's called being open minded. you should try it sometime.

[eric69]

i love you

[ProfessorSnake]

I saw him this past summer, and he has this eerie command of the crowd. It's fun to play along with the games he has. And personally I just love dancing really hard, and that's pretty much what you do at a Dan Deacon show.

[locustxreign]

you can be open minded and still think this is awful.

i gave it a listen, and wanted to die. but i tried right?

[TommyDelicious]

indeed. i just wonder why someone would bash this. dislike it, but bashing is another thing.

[snuggl3s]

Wow, both of you sound like reasonable people who know how to have intelligent discussions rather than turning every discussion into an argument. So what the FUCK are you doing commenting on Youtube? =P

[selln]

the power of music is so surreal!!!!

[TankUp]

haha circuit-bent banana!

[Hooklineansinker]

who the fuck is dan deacon?

[lwimsett]

the guy in the video

[rizzelet]

i like how he gave you a really sincere "woops" signal at 3:36

[krphl31]

umm what is happening here ??

[amichanmizuno]

Group awesomeness. It's a pity the music is so distorted.

[bodyrock666]

I

F

E

[napoleoninrags10]

i hate that cunt in the hat

[m620]

really? I liked her. The one on the other side with the light brown hair, and white with black polkadots shirt too.

[drkfire90]

dan deacon yay, pitchfork meh.

too elite for moi.

[sheez123456789]

Pitchfork is a website that has a festival aswell. Great web site but a bit pretentious.

[bannedfromutopia]

a "bit" pretentious!? hah

[FidelioRoo]

Still awesome, though.

[dbadagna]

What does "Pitchfork 2007" mean?

[FidelioRoo]

This looks like the best party ever... and I hate parties!

[paulchauncy]

"you always get one guy in the band and you just wish he was never in the band"

[SoNiCxBlaCK]

lol he did this same exact skit word for word at my school

[rickuitputh]

this looks like so much fun, it really does haha

[TuffEnuffIII]

Pitchfork fest is a huge waste of time and money

[rnwepc]

...nope why would it be?

[airairairhair]

this is uncouth, you are not fun and this is not funny.  rolling stone knows about this, it's not cool, either. fuckwits.

[joet88]

ignore my bad comments, here's a good one:

dan deacon rocks, google "dan deacon free albums" to download the older stuff he gives away

[rqhott]

Just saw him at coachella. it was very good. words cannot describe.

[PharPhar]

This looks like fun! But does that asian guy in the background have his penis up mister deacons ass ?

[fanton2005]

this guy is a mazing. i love all that color he has too

[Chavo138]

Girl wif da stupid hat got some big ass tittays

[RamzGT]

I saw him live and it rawked....!

I wanna go again and I suggest everyone see him once at least!!!!

[99prblmz]

iPods attached to bananas work better than iPods attached to computers.

[SkaterFTF]

Someone stole it once but Dan got it back. I think someone also stole his Trippy Green Skull.

[peachbone]

i saw him last night, and he still had it. :D
