Girl in the plaid shirt / glasses at 1:15 - gorgeous and good musical taste? She NEEDS to call me :)

@Midgeeeeeeee Really? The only vocalist in the whole music industry? Your an idiot. He's an great singer and he shows it, but there is hundreds of great vocalists. You just insulted all of them.

Amazing video combining one of the best songs of all time with some of the worst dancing of all time.

Maybe it's because I love this song so much, but it frustrates the shit out of me that the guitar effects are so out of time. Matt at 1:34 - "Am I seriously expected to sing in time to that?"

It's a terrible crowd and I hope they eat spiiiiders.

@fupaladin01 That's Matt's (the lead singer) wife next to her and i'm pretty certain that's her sister and yeah, she's pretty gorgeous.

SUFJAN! :D

@fupaladin01 She's a woman not some 20-something girl man.

@timbadlose ok...Ill give them a few more listens.

[timbadlose]

@mechiefslapahobitch I agree the vocals are soft and sparse, the guitars are vague, and the drums are skittish, but this does not mean they aren't strong. Miles Davis had some of the sparsest solos, yet he's known as one of the greatest jazz musicians ever. to say so much with so little takes real skill. It wont rattle your chest like ACDC; the "soul" isn't on the surface. The true power of this band lies below the surface which to me makes it even stronger emotionally. it takes some listening..

[mechiefslapahobitch]

@timbadlose I tried to listen to the whole song since you posted and stuck up for them but honestly...I see and hear a few really weak guys with very little talent. Seriously, this is really pretty crappy. Im glad you like it....thats good for you and other who get something out of it but it doesnt do a thing for me. Theyre like REM only worse. REM was weak too. They just pick a line of chords and just keep powering in a general direction....loudly...but theres no soul there. Weak.
