  1. Agree with matthew, hickey, etc.

    When I was 14 or 15 I started buying Clash records even though I didn't have my own record player. Hopefully she'll become a record-listener as well, and ultimately, the more people that buy vinyl, the more chance there will be of records we love getting pressed and/or re-pressed, not to mention the monetary support for record labels/musicians.

    "we're out of bort name-tags in the gift shop!"

    LOL

  2. ...it was meant as a joke...did no one find the sarcasm there? also I wasn't really judging the "aesthetics" of the video...as there aren't really any to write home about. It's the band, playing music...something you'd see them do in concert which I assume is very similar.

    therefore my opinion would likely be the same had I seen them stand on stage with their accents, hump their instruments, and be boring in person.

    Well, I'm glad I left my parenthetical in. I suppose the comments about the accents and them singing "whoa oh" are meant to be critiques of their music?

    In any case, I'm not even a huge fan of theirs. I'm just stuck defending them here in the same way that I am stuck defending Cass Sunstein to my grandparents.

    the accent shit is just me bullshitting. Like I said, I like the Frames and it has nothing to do with the accents. You gotta admit with the popularity of Frank Turner a lot of that style is washing up on American shores and it's "cool" and "edgy" because it's from overseas. I just find it funny how this band has become novelty based on all of the things I noted in the video. Things they do that make hipsters go "oh wow they're so different!" when they were just looking for another clap/singalong folksy rock band.

    And yes, the whoas are a critique of their music. They have about two simple verses and the whoas are filler. I hate when bands do that shit.

  3. Judging a band by the aesthetics of their music video (or aesthetics at all) makes for a pretty suspect appraisal.
