This is raw emotion, pure depression, it isnt watered down, its pure, it hurts, its hard to listen to, but once you get into the emotion, it becomes art in the purest form

[weedyslender]

if you sing along when your feeling really depressed that's when you realise how well he sings it

@theerick45 me too! never knew this vid was up. badass show, helped em pack up afterward, they both cool as hell

@JonasTheSTEAMROLLER Not necessarily. For one, being signed to a label is better than none at all. It provides more exposure they otherwise wouldn't have. Many musicians have started out indie before moving onto the bigger leagues. Furthermore, many prefer obscurity over mainstream. The number of people who have heard of a musician does not define how great he/she is. Mainstream also has a stigma that it dilutes the true creativity of an artist with money, so that's experimental for you.

its fucking indie, and obscure, the way he is standing there motionless with his arms crossed and eyes closed, doing a cover of fast car.. i fucking love this. even better than the recorded version of it..

@JonasTheSTEAMROLLER

you're an idiot. xiu xiu are great my friend. their recorded version of this song is good, but i'd have to agree this one is fucking awful haha.

@JonasTheSTEAMROLLER this is soo ridiculously ill-informed it's comical. grow up dude

[JonasTheSTEAMROLLER]

This is total crap! They ruined a beautiful song! On Wikipedia, they are described as an "experimental indie rock band"! I think a lot of "indie" bands are indie for a reason: cos they suck too much to be taken on by a label!

And there experiment is to see how much they can suck and still find some fans with really obscure (read: bad) taste! :P

[kikirriki]

no one is like Tracy.
