Bumped into them today in Oshawa ! Thye are rocking out at 8:30 TONIGHT ! UOIT / DURHAM College ! yeah "The Boss is coming " We can all relalte to this, as well as finding out who the "Whistleblower is ! " My daughter loves the ACC Kiss Cam ! Go Arkells ! Signed OLD Guy who thought you were cool outside building G ! Rec Centre where you chilled before your show ! LOL Michael Harmonicore's DAD !
But can somebody please make an edited version of this song? I love it so much but I'd much rather listen to it without the talking, and there's only live versions of it..
At work today they shot a new orientation video. I made sure to have this song playing in the background during the filming of the video. If I had my way, this WOULD be the video :D
For those wondering what I've been talking about, check out The Constantines video for "Working Full-Time' -- make your own judgments... I've made mine.
I can't believe this has been posted for almost 11 months and it only has 3,000 views. One of my videos has more than that. It's unacceptable. I'm not gonna lie, this is one of my favorite songs. This song, along with the band have to be shared.
@rentashoo These may be fine musicians, but ultimately they're a dopey party-anthem band doing empty music that, yes, does sound kinda like The Constantines. However, the 'tines are a much more poetic band. Compare this tune to their "Working Full-time", and you'll see that that is a much more powerful and poignant song about what the working life is about and how soul-destroying it can be, whereas this track and video are just shallow bits of silliness. To each his own, I suppose...
@PetertheImpaler Considering how most "musicians" -- i.e. average joes with a myspace account -- are obsessed with creating textures and layers, these guys are actually pretty good at composing and performing clean, straight to your face rock songs. Fuck it if you hate the lyrics or whatever, it sounds clean and well made, and it's fun to rock to this. That's what music is about, fun.
@PicturesForMyMom Music is an art form - we should expect art to give us a new way of looking at our lives and the world around us in a fresh and interesting way, and not just entertain. If all you want is "fun" background music for your backyard bbq, this can do - at least you agree they're "average". "Fuck...lyrics"? Well, they're not an instrumental band. "Clean and well made"? So is the music of Celine Dion and Katy Perry. Sorry - I guess I expect a little more. Enjoy your vodka cooler...
@PetertheImpaler music doesn't talk to people the same way it used to... Someone asked me this week if I actually gave a crap about the lyrics. It's like it's a joke to listen to the message...
Point being...? Not sure, but "fun" is the new code language.
@PicturesForMyMom If music doesn't talk to people the same way it used to, perhaps it's because they choose not to let it, or because they're listening to a lot of mediocre music that has nothing much to say. Artistic, innovative, intelligent, meaningful, and yes, entertaining and fun - these don't have to be mutually exclusive qualities. I suspect when most people use 'fun" these days, it's really "code" for superficial. Hey, The Arkells aren't an awful band - I just find them uninteresting...
About to see them in a week. SO pumped
