The Blow - Parentheses (live)

[Brotonify]

How cute she messed up. <3

[dizrokwel]

nice tits, bad karaoke

[druidbloke]

The vocal on this live version sounds pretty true to the album version not sure why some people are whinging here, would be nice to hear a live version with the music recreated too.

[flyincrombie]

i wish i was there so i could tell the people in the background to SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS <3

[cocoabewhere]

Just saw her in Edmonton canada (hicktown for you foreigners). She was so great, so drunk. Beautiful mess

[BIGLIPLEROY]

she forgets the song! ha

[charleswesterman]

is this for real?

[paigeg]

haha shes fucking crazy.

<3

[rand0m3r]

she seems puffed out from moving too much.

[janellelol]

i really like this song but not as much live :S

[corbettiam]

This is a great song from a good record but if I'd gone to this show without having heard them before her terrible live singing and annoying mannerisms would totally turn me off and make me not want to follow up on them.

[frenchymarcell]

no, i think you're wrong on this; the lo-fi aspect of Khaela's performance is what attracts a concertgoer, and would make them come back for more, given the next opportunity. her singing isn't the best, but it's real and no-bullshit. you should have seen her entire set, which included some interestingly entertaining dance moves, to truly appreciate her craft, and see how well she is at it.

[corbettiam]

I'm not ragging on the lo-fi aspect of the performance at all, and I have to admit her moves were pretty cute sometimes. I still thought she had a pretty awkward stage presence though - as if she wanted to be letting loose a little more but either didn't know how or was too nervous to.

[frenchymarcell]

if watching this video turns you off of future Blow music, then i feel sorry for you; Khaela Maricich & Jona Bechtolt (aka YACHT) will continue to put out fun and catchy lo-fi pop that'll make you want to sing along, dance, and perform drunken karaoke to.

[corbettiam]

I don't think lo-fi and bad singing should necessarily be equated. When I first heard this song it was the way she sang that hooked me, then when I heard this version I found most of the appeal from the album version was no longer present. As for feeling sorry for me, I think you're being a little dramatic - do you really feel sorry for everyone who doesn't share your musical tastes? That's a lot of people to feel sorry for, no matter what kind of music you're into.

[frenchymarcell]

you see, what you're saying is that you choose to not keep up on whatever new material they come out with, solely because you saw a video of a live performace that you thought was bad. well, if that's the case, don't go to their shows, don't see videos of their live shows on YouTube, and forget they even play live before an audience- just listen to their records and keep thinking that the way a song sounds on that album is the only way it will ever sound, and everything will be fine.

[tinman1er]

you tell him.

i LOVE her trainwreck kareoke stage antics :)

woooooo

ps who were all the douches just talking about bs the whole time?

[catahoulacat]

The Blow kicks ass. :D

[TheVariable]

Something tells me this girl would be down for smoking lots and lots of pot

[frenchymarcell]

uh, yeah... sure. you should ask her if

she'd like to join you some day; she is

very approachable, and might be open

to just about anything.

[Beat0it]

By "the" I mean this.

: )

[Iamanathlete]

Love that song.

[Beat0it]

The is completely cute.

[mindlesslogic]

Haha she was so crazy and cute at that show.

[frenchymarcell]

ah yes yes, that she was. i found it really funny

when she talked about the story of the guy in

her bedroom [which led to a song] and how she

expressed her love for "The OC". good times. :)

i also took videos of Of Montreal;

check them out if you'd like.

[chrisseavey]
