Noah And The Whale: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[crabax]

Check out Mason Jennings if you haven't already. Similar vibe...

[daegon1985]

Using my powers of deductive reasoning, that violin player has got to be the least blubberous whale on earth.

[beffuunn]

Lol if you think that Christ brown is music and this isn't. I'm pretty sure they are original. If you've nothing nice to say say nothing at all. Im pretty sure you are talentless yourself. They haven't done anything to you or to anyone but written some pretty good albums if you don't like them don't listen to them ignorant twats.

[tigerswell]

is there a drummer or soemthing?

[thenuhn]

@tigerswell if you read the description it says that they brought a drum machine.

[MrMoldGRavy]

@tigerswell drum machine

[guitarman1477]

def has ripped off lou reed

[guitarman1477]

yes he's gay what the fuck who cares



[djgca1]

Reminds me of Lola (The Kinks)...anyone else?

[joeloveism]

@djgca1 tumbleweed

[Gillbean19]

lola all the way to the chorus

[Red1Eyed3Devil]

Poindexter from Revenge of the Nerds turned out well....

[humanewman]

Am I alone in thinking he sounds a bit like the young Lou Reed?

[liv496]

@33sjrsam HA

[crisguasch]

Para siempre

[crisguasch]

TQMT

[crisguasch]

Te quiero mucho Tom

[33sjrsam]

@weevil3582 dont remove your comments you cuntbucket

[beerdude417]

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. says it all.

[RUFIO0000]

his voice is so effortless

[enchantedcheesmuffin]

@RUFIO0000 you better have meant that in a good way o.O

[Fostermykicks]

Oh my. Everytime they do a close up on charlies face...i feel weak at the knees!

[jaynerrrrrrrify]

I see a real lack of energy here that I thought Noah and the Whale always had--I'm a little disappointed.

[ksmfighton]

how can someone dislike this?

[MegaWildswan]

you are going to do well. really good tone voice ,I'm catching some J Tull magic that is a rare since 70's keep working together

[Marabomara]

Oh. He has one big head!

[tinabeaner004]

@Marabomara Who does? And do you mean that literally or figuratively?

[claudiagranziol]

charlie fink and tom hobden, oh my yes. love noah and the whale!

[TheRealAustinHarms]

Where's the rest of the band?

[draver21]

Reminds me so much of Tom Petty. "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N" even sounds a bit like "Don't Come Around Here No More" during the chorus.

[habsfan12325]

1:30 robot dog

[acrobatademente]

My 3 year old nephews say that you have a weird name, but they like you! LOL!

[differenthorse23]

wow i didnt not expect him to sing like that but his voice is definitely nice .new band to listen to

[JakeO674]

amazing musicians, beautiful songs.

[fireseek7]

I appreciate good music. But its hard watching homo's play it. 

[hairbrush9]

@fireseek7 I guess you can't appreciate good music. Asshole

[MrMoldGRavy]

@fireseek7 and......... do you mean to make a point or something?

[wrxtuner13]

Simple and talented. Sometimes that's all you need to have a good time.

[hdavis2]

Any song that begins with the words "This is a song for..."? Ugh, no thanks. But yeah, they're both super cute.

[Joeshnazzle]

man i hate their stupid hairstyle  damn jew curls

[reubensing]

"Blue Skies" is remeniscent of Mason Jennings.

[timbulb]

Good stuff.

The violin dude's hair is uncalled for.

[austinha11]

theyre ok. but the violinist couldn't look any gayer

[TheZombieHorseZ]

@austinha11 .. actually, there more than 'ok' the violinist dosent look gay, infact, i would have no hesitation saying that, quite frankly he is a defention of a man.. what does it matter about what they look like anyway?? there both playing amazing music and if you dont think its that great than dont bother to comment at all, just becuse you dont think its great dosent mean it isnt. .

[austinha11]

@TheZombieHorseZ Get offended.

[tofumar]

@TheZombieHorseZ I don't agree with austinha11's comments, but "the definition of a man"? Let's not go too far here.

[TheZombieHorseZ]

@tofumar ok ok, maybe not to some people :)

[MrMoldGRavy]

@tofumar definition of man: adult male human: an adult male human being. i think he fills out the definition.

[tofumar]

@MrMoldGRavy I think the comment connoted something more than the literal definition of adult man.

[RGeth]

awsome!

[matheusrufi]

charlie's smile *-*

[avsky123]

The first song sounds like a cross between "Don't come around here no more

', and "Lola".

[kindofbluelove]

aaaaaah!!! <3

[DownInAshland]

cutest violin player ever!

[TheZombieHorseZ]

@DownInAshland finally, a comment worthy of this video :) :3

[sometimesbutrarely]

@DownInAshland it's a fiddle you sausage :p

[acerosalazar]

Noah and the Whale is always awesome!

[FolkListener]

what a wonderful set

[jaksspring97]

Maybe i'm missing something....why is the band called Noah and the Whale? Isn't Jonah usually associated with the whale story? I'm a bit confused.

Besides my confusion, i really liked this duo. Their singing and instrumental harmonies are well done. I found myself tapping my foot and wishing the concert wouldn't end. Thank you for introducing me to this band.

[764amc08]

@jaksspring97 maybe its an anagram, minus the "J". "JONAH" "J-ONAH" "NOAH-J"

[slevkalev]

@jaksspring97 The name 'Noah and the Whale' is a combination of the title of the band's favorite film, 'The Squid and the Whale,' and the name of the film's director, Noah Baumbach, both of which were highly influential on the group.

[bucklam66]

lola, my lola?

[bucklam66]

lola?



[OnePurpleCrayon]

Someone was so excited that their hand slipped and accidentally pressed the dislike button. Man, that sucks.

[TheZombieHorseZ]

@OnePurpleCrayon i don't even know you but by the looks of that comment i love you.. :3 -well said

[TafariKNOWs]

this would be soo good if it weren't for that fucking drum machine.

[naturelribbelchips]

what kind of guitar is the acoustic one? looks great

[mbguitar]

@naturelribbelchips Gibson Hummingbird

[yamanylon]

So fantastic!

[kindofbluelove]

[notcalebkruzel]

[ekzoekzo]

[uuuz6]

They are so good looking!!

[kingdave193]

Such a good band and performance, shame they weren't like that at Benicassim :(

[uuuz6]

@kingdave193 What do you mean? Playing to 5 and playing to 50,000 are total different experiences . I thought they were absolutely brilliant at Benicassim. were we at the same place???

[CAl3vara]

Ben Sollee, TMBG, Giver, and now Noah and the Whale? How can I get a job up there? Maybe janitor?

[haysalmon]

@CAl3vara Exactly my thought every time they upload a new video.

[BurningDownNeverland]
