@hotwax17 There's actually no relation between Dale Earnhardt Jr. and these musicians, Daniel Zott and Joshua Epstein. "Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr." is just the name of the band.
@FamousThis the crashes were more influenced by WWF/E than Nascar. Sr's death was a somber day in American history and was not considered during the crafting of this concept. The video concept was simply a parody of fully-grown manboys dreaming of being great racers. See if you can pull out all the levels of commentary and satire embedded in the video!
@clockworkscott I'm not sure that Bloom understood music, as music, to be honest. I don't think you do either Scott, or you'd not be making the judgements you are. Enjoy the music that moves you, and leave others to enjoy theirs. The fulfilment that comes from music comes from within. If a particular piece of music speaks to you but not others, that does not mean that they are lacking. And vice versa.
@mzaphod with all due respect, i don't think you really believe this. i'm no fan of allan bloom's, but i think his critique of pop music ought to be taken seriously. i'm pretty sure you can read that chapter online for free, from the book "the closing of the american mind".
if i'm "fulfilled" by the harry potter books, wouldn't you say that i just haven't developed my aesthetic consciousness enough?
To all brain dead hipsters!! let us band together and spread our ideals of teenage sexuality through our contemporary hipster rock that lacks emotional depth to the four corners of the earth!!
Shut up you cock bandits. No one cares about your opinions on anything, what-so-ever. How arrogant could you possibly be; to think that any one gives a shit about what you think about music or life or ANYTHING? In a week our comments will be on the 4th page and no one will ever read them again...if you feel inclined to share the trivial ass drippings you call "opinions" with the world, get a fuckin blog you huge, flaming, douchers. *leans back, sparks doobie, jams out*
@gregpet1973 lux interior, in my view, summarizes the visceral quality of american rock music, which we have been moving away from in contemporary hipster rock. although i prefer classical music, i feel that popular music has to provide some emotional reaction in the listener for it to be worth anything. the contemporary hipster, lacking any emotional depth to begin with, listens to the shit in this video because s/he is braindead.
i cannot imagine how anyone would like this garbage. people going to see this group live must be desperate. you wonder what lux interior would've had to say about this.
that beign said, the fact that there's no content to this music almost perfectly sums up these wretched times.
@clockworkscott you are an idiot. music is purely subjective. either enjoy someone else's art or keep your mouth shut. don't bash it. music is beautiful in any form.
@clockworkscott trust me, it is purely objective. ever heard of white noise music? people can enjoy anything, one man's "garbage" is another man's most enjoyed music. and yeah it's fine to voice your opinion, but try to do it in a more intelligent way than calling it garbage and their fans desperate. and again, music is beautiful in any form, if you appreciate music you would understand. contemporary country may not be your style and it's not mine either, but i can still appreciate their effort.
@markbooher1 well, i think music like in this video is extremely dangerous for the mental health of people, but i admit it's difficult to find out which is cause and which effect. the famed american reactionary allan bloom wrote that popular music is all teenage sexuality, whereas classical represented sexual maturity. and this was at a time when popular music was good (rolling stones, etc.)!
i think that if you enjoy this type of music, you'd best pause and reflect.
@clockworkscott ive been reading your comments and through every one i was like "whaaaaaaat?" I think you're only arguing for the sake of arguing. "Dangerous to the mental health" ? "music is not beautiful in ANY form" ?? thats crazy. And you say that music isnt subjective, but the fact that I REALLY this song and you REALLY dont kinda means that its all subjective, doesnt it?
@kingsdrink sorry, i wasn't claiming that no music is beautiful (which would be outrageous), but that it is absurd to claim that all music is beautiful.
i'm curious, do you think all forms of art are to evaluated purely subjectively, without regard to any objective standards? or is it only music? could i be taken seriously if i said that the cheap paintign of a lighthouse in my grandma's basement is superior to a Manet?
for people complaining about them using Jr. name get over it they asked him if it was ok and gave him some of their music he liked and told them it was ok to use the name
I pretty much have to say this to anyone that bashes a band....Good Music doesnt judge but everyone is a critic..take it or leave it. Don't hate..just love.
So sick of getting all of your video garbage when I try to search for information related to Dale Earnhardt Jr. Really guys, are you so bad that you had to use some other celebs name to get people to watch your stuff. Get a life!
can someone give the name of the video where the remix of this song was used? there was a guy filming his journey somewhere and all the people he met? i saw it yesterday, but youtube broke down and i can't remember the name of the video.
I love to imagine a piss drunk Nascar fan on a friday night shuffling through his 3 bedroom 2 bath household in west texas, entering the guest room and sitting down at the computer. his worn hands lead him to youtube. reminiscing after watching SPEED bio of #3, he looks for footage on youtube, and up pops "Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr." as he pushes down on the keys. dubiously he begins the video. clutching his knees, he searches for a sober perspective, but he cant deny it: he likes what he hears
You may think the band's name is stupid but I think they actually put a lot of thought into it. Their first full-album is named "It's a Corporate World"... And what is more corporate than NASCAR... And the driver that is the most corporate... Dale Earnhardt Jr!!! :)
Plus every time we youtube search "Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr", Dale Earnhardt Jr links comes in too... So why would he (Dale Jr) complain?
@badgerbucky582 PERFECT response! Love your comment, it is so true! @ people that don't get it- Dale Jr. sent them a heartfelt letter giving them permission to use the name and he loves their music! They are smart guys! If you don't understand them read some of their interviews and you WILL fall in love with them!
I'd never heard these guys until I saw these guys at Lolla yesterday. I went SOLELY because their band name made me laugh. I thought they were great. They were having more fun than anyone else there, which was really cool to see.
These guys named themselves this to prove you don't have to take yourself so seriously to make good music. Personally I'm tired of all the self loathing "look at me I'm so depressed" musicians out there. If you don't like it move along and STFU. Lady Gaga sucks, not these guys.
I saw this band name somewhere and I thought it was hilarious. Then, i read an article in PASTE online (check it out on their site, its a great article) that made me really interested. I love these guys now, I just bought their album. Apparently, one of the names they considered before this was Counting Crows Part 2, ha!
Ok dont get pissed at me but can you explain to me if this is a real band? Why is their name the name of a rascar driver? is that thier real name? please help im so confused
@marshknotts Amen. Preach on brother, preach on. Couldn't have said it better if I tried. There's so many levels of truth in your few words, and can very well be applied to so many aspects of life. Like it or listen to something else.
Don't you think they made a huge mistake at the very beginning? I mean choosing the name. No matter how good the music is, they could neverneverever possibly match the awesomeness of the name DALE EARNHARDT JR. JR.!!! It's funny, it's intelligent, simply brilliant.
I hope Junior dies like his dead daddy. Crappy driving into the wall. Or maybe he gets cancer so I can laugh while you people cry. the only good redneck is a dead redneck. I spit on your redneck heros and I will shit on dead dales grave when see it.
@TheExplodingPanda I thought you were going to say the idea that DEJJ is Animal Collective mixed with Beach Boys is blasphemy because both of those artists make overrated, boring music and DEJJ doesn't, but the rest of your post dissapointed me.
I'm liking the style of this song but it's just kinda.. meh. the edmonton station sonic 102.9 recomended this song saying this band was kinda like a mix of animal collective and the beach boys. I love AC and I respect BB for having a huge influence on The Shins and James Mercer in specific. I dunno I guess I was just expecting something more catchy and exciting.
@SaidTheDolphin Whoa whoa whoa, the idea that DEJJ is Animal Collective mixed with Beach Boys is blashpemy. These guys are no where near AC's mastery of electronic music, and no where near Brian Wilson's song writing skills. I know it wasnt YOU who made that statement, but wow whoever said that is an idiot.
