..."a hype machine running solely on a MySpace page and scattered blog fumes."

but not on ILM!
are we becoming irrelevant, or maybe the band isnt that good, and we can keep our "reputation"?

Who the fuck are you?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:22 (eighteen years ago)

the quote is from Pitchfork,btw.

― emekars (emekars), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:22 (eighteen years ago)

why are you asking and why are you swearing?

― emekars (emekars), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

Among other things because your initial post made no sense (and even with context makes no sense).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

context is everything... the quote lacks.

make sense plz

dammit redundant post.

― fandango (fandango), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

This post is a downy clowny.

The quote if from P'forks review of Ice Cube's remake of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

He/she is referring to today's Pfork review of a band called Oh No! Oh My!:

Like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Nashville-based Oh No! Oh My!'s debut is self-released and registers across the indie spectrum and beyond, drawing comparisons from the Shins to Simon and Garfunkel. However, Nashville ain't no Brooklyn, and certainly no one's spotting David Byrne or David Bowie at their gigs. Throw in the band's Google-phobic moniker, and you've got yourself a hype machine running solely on a MySpace page and scattered blog fumes.

ok, but will it be helpfull to tell you who the fuck am i?
and who are you?

― emekars (emekars), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

thanx nabisco, and sorry for the misunderstanding.

Oh No! Oh My!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:34 (eighteen years ago)

That is seriously the band name. THE CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH VIRUS IS ALREADY DESTROYING THE LAND.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

I think the difference between ILM and MySpace/blogs is that one is critical of things and one isn't.

― Eppy (Eppy), Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:36 (eighteen years ago)

And which one is this place?

That whole review went through without giving The Robot Ate Me a shred of credit

― Nads, Thursday, 1 June 2006 15:57 (eighteen years ago)

ok, but will it be helpfull to tell you who the fuck am i?

Indeed it will, since you a). start off your lovely post referring to ILM as "we" and b). don't appear to be familiar with Mr. Raggett. Which, as they say, does not compute.

do they mean this as an insult?

― gear (gear), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:39 (eighteen years ago)

it's a postmodern review where they don't actually tell you what it sounds like or if it's any good or not

― Matt Carlson (mattsoncarlhew), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

this is the new album by oh no! oh my!

they exist...

who are we to tell you their quality? the choice? it is yours.

"THE CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH VIRUS IS ALREADY DESTROYING THE LAND."

Yeah. And to think someone once said that Calvin Johnson destroyed rock and roll for an entire generation.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

Calvin Johnson is a twat who hits on 14 year old girls at outdoor venues, then thinks he's cool cause he dicks around on his guitar and "sings" in a shitty, tuneless voice. God, I like Meatloaf better than Calvin Johnson.No wait, Meatloaf touched me once. Nevermind.

The most annoying thing about Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is that their music is inherently unclappable.

I like Oh No! Oh My! I think the pfork review was fairly accurate. I found it odd that they didn't specifically mention the way "Reeks and Seeks" and "Women are Born in Love" are basically minimalist compositions, which I think is interesting and different. The whole thing sounds like the band wanted to make an indie pop record but weren't afraid to be weird and do it on their own terms. So I dig it.

― Steve Goldberg (Steve Goldberg), Friday, 2 June 2006 11:13 (eighteen years ago)

Greatest thread ever (until we actually started talking about the band)

OTM. Someone says, "Beat Happening," I say "Shit," and then vomit all over my shoes.

― trees (treesessplode), Friday, 2 June 2006 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

I heard Calvin Johnson hits 14 year old girls.

― and what (ooo), Friday, 2 June 2006 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

I think "Skip the Foreplay" is the best track on the record.

― Steve Goldberg (Steve Goldberg), Friday, 2 June 2006 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

That Calvin Johnson does have an awful rep for being a lech.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Friday, 2 June 2006 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

Time to play the Match Game '97

That Calvin Johnson sure does have an awful .

a. smell
b. sense of fashion
c. voice
d. rep for being a lech

survey says....

c. is the heavenly option
