He didn't seem to really hate this song. He just doesn't like it, which is actually a fairly normal reaction. I think this criticism has been lobbed at this series before, but ragging on crappy pop songs is not that hard (though this one was enjoyable enough as Trohman was pleasant.) I wanna read stuff where someone…

This write-up makes it sound like a Manic Pixie Dream Movie.

I grew up in a house that watched a fair amount of foreign films (and considering it was in Mississippi, relatively speaking it was a SHITLOAD of foreign films)…anyway, we all were used to subtitles. And then many years ago, the whole family just decided  that movies were better  and easier with subtitles, so we…

Jian Ghomeshi? The guy from Moxy Fruvous?

Apropos of our discussion of what constitutes a cover (were we having that conversation?): I know there's a pile-on anytime Mike Doughty is mentioned on the AV Club (full disclosure: he's an acquaintance of mine and while he's a WEIRD dude he's not the asshole that people make him out to be), but here's an article…

I agree that most songs still carry the originals DNA pretty clearly.

Fair enough. I like really different covers. I also like clever mash-ups, too, and my sister HATES them. I think it's to each their own" in this case.

I would say that they are definitely still covers. The songs are musically very different but the "bones" of the song are still the same and recognizable as such. They're covers in the same way Me First and the Gimme Gimmes singing a 60' pop song in a punk style all while incorporating elements of a Clash song into…

Not about the movie or actually about the album itself, but a cover of the album. Anyone heard Luther Wright and the Wrongs album "Rebuild The Wall", a bluegrass cover of the entire album? It's pretty great, actually. I really recommend it. It's pretty goofy, but they don't skimp on the musicianship or the inherent…

Tommy Lee's band Methods of Mayhem included Kid Rock, Fred Durst, and George Clinton? That's certainly

Chimps Up, Bros Down

My favorite of his albums, for sure.

I like this soundtrack, and I agree with the above assessment. This song is really not good, but I like it anyway. Kinda in the same way that I ate a jelly bean today, told my wife it was disgusting, then ate 10 more.

Yeah, with all the talk about this new album, and all my years of working in music stores, and all my years having heard of this group, I realized to my shock that i don't think I've ever heard a song by this group. Methinks I need to correct that with a quickness.

"Dybbuk Shmybbuk, I Said 'More Ham'. "

Have y'all seen this?

Have people here seen this?

I'm digging it big time, but here's the prediction I gave to my wife: Great songs, good sound, but without any "riffs" it may not be as memorable as other albums. Not a comment on quality, but just a thought on "sing-along-ability."

Clearly you have never seen a picture of them before. I know some pop stars can look cookie-cutter, but not on such an obviously "genetic" level.

Just listening to this album now and I will say that I am really digging the new stuff. I'm a big fan- I mean, like, I post about them on facebook and google search pictures of them, like, I'm a middle-aged married man with a patently ridiculous fanboy crush on these gals- THAT kind of big fan.
