What is going on in that last picture? That security guard is pinching some random passed out girls bottom like the way I pinch a pita triangle.

Question: Why is Robyn so popular amongst this site, P'fork and other indie-ish blogs? I'm just curious. She's pretty much pop music through and through. And glossy pop at that. And while "pop" isn't really my thing, I'm not knocking it. However, there are countless(!) pop acts on the charts, and I never see them getting the indie, for lack of a better word, coverage that she seems to obtain. So ... wtf?

i'll tell you what's going on in that last photo. it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. unless that's a new york city security guard. they seem to be able to get away with doing what they want to women who are passed out.

are DFA79 really deserving of such lavish reunion praise? They had what 15 songs in their whole career? Boring as fuck live...why the major festival spots?
they are just a footnote of 2004

Tell me one band that has come close to sounding anything like Death From Above 1979?.... No One

10:51 and 11:01: you're idiots (although in 10:51's case it was apparent the second he/sheet made a pita reference). He's carrying an unconscious adult female as best he can. If either of you had ever tried lifting anything heavier than a cigarette at any point in your lives, you'd know that. 10:59: excellent question. To the Pat Smear detractors: he grew up. Don't worry - it won't happen to you.

No one sounds like dfa1979, go listen to the first couple Hella records, blows 1979 away. Also the Ruins. They were doing that s**t way before them.

I am a nobody and even I was playing that type of music in the '90s. Bass VI/drum combo. Never went anywhere (did toured with Unsane), but what DFA1979 is doing is hardly new.

Pat Smear looks like a Philipino Ed Asner.

I guess dfa 79 is the only bass/drum combo I can think of that's maybe just trying to play pop songs
