No one on this site ever posts a comment that they like any of the bands that are posted about on this site...

I'm critical about art/music/film if it doesn't work for me, but seriously, most comments here seem to be for the sole purpose of who can come up with the wittiest put down of whatever the post is about...

That's more lame than anything that BV can post about.

I for one like Chromeo for what they are, a fun dance party that aims to be nothing more than that.

It's a great live show. For what these guys are attempting to do, they accomplish it. Period.

...I welcome the backlash and wave of who can be the wittiest/snarkiest/snobbiest response to this comment...

cheers

Posted by Anonymous | August 26, 2008 10:09 PM

and what exactly is it that 9:43 has to learn, 10:09?
How to be an anonymous fucktard poster like you?

There are very few bands that are worth making negative comments about...but unfortunately, Chromeo is one of them. One of the worst live shows I have ever seen. And no I did not pay to see them. It was at Coachella this year and they were between two acts I wanted to see. Mercy that was a buzzkill of a show.

soon, chromeo will be back to their day jobs; one of which includes teaching elementary french at columbia university.

Fancy Footwork was a solid album. Eat a dick.

He doesn't teach elementary French you twat. He teaches like advanced conversational French at Columbia U. by day, and by night he's a rock star.

In other words, the man is fucking awesome.

Assuming that's not Dave posting to this site... the man was my Elementary French teacher. Spiffy dresser and a decent teacher, though not my style of music.

Pretty lame if it is Dave, though.

It's not Dave, and he doesn't teach Elementary French anymore.... twat.

chromeo were enjoyable when they first came around. not so much anymore. hope they make some money selling their music to the children for a couple of years and then they'll go away.

Posted by Anonymous | August 27, 2008 8:49 AM

only my opinion, but i find them boring.

why listen to a third rate re-hash when i can listen to my zapp records?

Posted by Anonymous | August 27, 2008 9:25 AM

dj's are not musicians. period. therefore, they cannot be a band. period.

They're no Obscure Disorder, that's for sure. :(

Love that keyboard stand set-up. This band, though, does not bring the hooks.

MTV shit band

Posted by Anonymous | August 27, 2008 4:58 PM

"MTV shit band"

response 1:
How would you know unless you watched MTV?

response 2:
Chromeo have been around way longer than since they first appeared on MTV

response 3:
If you didn't know about Chromeo until MTV picked up on them, well I guess you are the one who is the loser in this equation.

Worst attempts at hipsters flaming a good band ever.

Posted by Anonymous | August 27, 2008 7:27 PM

If you honestly think this is a good band, your standards are dreadfully low...

Posted by CN | August 27, 2008 7:52 PM

I'm sorry, apparently the No Age-jocking lames with the ears of a 12-year-old nu-metal fan have opinions.

HOW CUTE, YOUR OPINIONS.
