John Vanderslice- Exodus Damage

[podcastshmodcast]

Song of deep mystery and wonder with a reference or 2 to that 9-11 thang. "an hour went by without a fighter in the sky" Dance dance revolution... 

[dyston1c]

fucking love that bass

[captainsqueegee]

We are sick enough to guess!

[MorsIchimonji]

love that mellotron, and the snare, killer production, and killer songwriting.

[arjaeger381]

Probably the nicest musician you will ever meet!



[peterchoyce]

one of the only (infact, the ONLY) good rock songs dealing w the 9/11. That's MITs WALKER MEMORIAL BUILDING at the beginning and throughout- WMBR radio- where John vanderslice filmed after a radio interview. "you said this would never happen; it DID!"

[black69sunabler]

Wonderful song!!!

Winter greetings from Poland:))

I saw John Vanderslice play in a converted home in Salt Lake city Utah. Basically it was a backyard show. He was amazing. I at the time didnt know what I was in store for. I loved it. Thanks Utah. Thanks John.

[charlesasher]

this is still probably one of my favorite music videos.

[delusionaldiminutive]

Can someone please tell me why this song doesn't have more views? It's AMAZING!!! I love the part where he sings "You said it would happen and just like that, it did"

[Orthodoxcrusader]

@delusionaldiminutive

Because an average human being is a moron watching lady gaga and black eyed peace videos...

[Orthodoxcrusader]

Sadly...

[theragingchicken]

sometimes a dream is a sad delusion

[delusionaldiminutive]

That guy in the beginning looks so much like Jeff Mangum. Anyone else think so?

[headbanger623]

I'm a real musician, and most indie music is really bad. But this is so fantastic.

[astrosfan611]

DEMAND 9/11 TRUTH!

[peterchoyce]

"second plane hit at 9:02" gonna go down-you said this would happen IT DID- but 'they' got away with it, didn't they?

It is one of only two songs i know of that speaks up about what 9-11 was all about.

one of me TOP 10 tune of the 00s!!

[augusto9990]

gonna see this guy with da Arctic Monkeys on da 3.2.10!!!!!!!

[Ollo1412]

@augusto9990

is he going to be the supporting act for AM ? you serious ? im going to see them on 9.2 so that would be awesome :)

where did you hear that ?

[augusto9990]

[Redsparrowe123]

Any ideas on what this song is about?I've been wondering for like a year. 911?

[ChernobylTaco]

Dance Dance Revolution!

[yayelicious]

[mindmounster]

john vanderslice is 2 rooms away from my hotel room lol I saw him yesterday

[headbanger623]

@mindmounster Why weren't you in there fondling him?

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

Beautiful song...reminds me of REM a bit

[eddiemcgregory]

I hadn't really thought about that... he does kinda

[teiladnam]

This song is so awesome that I died and now I'm dead. Thanks a lot, John Vanderslice.

[mkschurke]

You guys should check out Alias' remix of this song. Its great and maintains the feel of the song. Its in his Collected Remixes album.

[wren316]

I started listening to the remix and wasn't really sold on it at first, but then the chorus kicked in. It's pretty good!

[smashingpumpkins4]

dance dance revolution....

[lesserbirds]

So many great observations...

[kirkdikdik88]

einfach wundervoll!

[jojoyayo84]

mr. vanderslice= the machine(live shows).. he's amazing.

[1stLadyLazarus]

Very atmospheric, v.inspiring.

A truly beautiful song.

[tykemeawaywyou]

i love his sound!

[54spiritedwill54]

John is great singer and indeed has an interesting voice :)

[mormand5003]

I discovered this song on a CD insert in Spin Magazine called "Different Names for the Same Thing". I saw this title on the track list and was instantly drawn to it. I instantly fell in love with it.

[rqhott]

me too.

that was what like 2 and a half years ago?

[dirkman42]

Different Names for the same thing is a death cab song... weird.

[mormand5003]

yea and death cab had two songs on the cd

[igotaquestionmark]

DeconstructingGlenn:His works stay with you because you feel compelled to spend some time to understand them.

THAT IS SO TRUE.

[Deena815]

One of my favorite songs of all times.

[peterchoyce]

that is a shot of MIT's WMBR, one of the best rock stations in the country. Perhps JV had just been interviewed. It's the bldg that looks like East Germany. I follow JV like he be the Greatful dead

[jkeroes]

Sounds like Elliot Smith and Camper Van Beethoven had a lovechild

[wootacular]

lol me too!

[burritowendel]

chido

[dlor99]

great song.

[floydsrevenge]

It sounds like it's from the perspective of a suicide bomber having second thoughts.

[tereasia]

I wish this wasn't his only video. And, I wish it had enough of a budget to reflect what it's really about, which is 911...

[pawnshopsign]

That's sorta oversimplifying it, don't you think?

[tereasia]

*sigh*, I guess so.

[Oniisan608]

I almost die laughing whenever he sings Dance Dance Revolution.

[animevampirechick2]

yea whenever he says dance dance revolution i think he's going to jump out singing dance dance by fall out boy

[DeconstructingGlenn]

His works stay with you because you feel compelled to spend some time to understand them.

[tykemeawaywyou]

you are so right, that is preciesly how i feel, but wasn't sure how to say it! thanks for inspiring me.

[NyfikenHiAn]

John is great singer,he has interesting voice...:D

[SimiDM]
