I first discovered the guy on the soundtrack to "True Detective, Part 1" -- his song there was a "Everyman Needs A Companion," and it's a very moody, effective number. You can find it on his "Fear Fun" album. I don't think he's dismissible. He's challenging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-20318328226041286382017-07-06T20:00:57.260-04:002017-07-06T20:00:57.260-04:00Takes one...Takes one...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-68261666734660119952017-07-06T16:58:16.380-04:002017-07-06T16:58:16.380-04:00The only way to "get" this guy is to rea...The only way to "get" this guy is to realize he's an insufferable douchebag. <br /><br />VRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-24631572397007825172017-07-06T12:58:34.296-04:002017-07-06T12:58:34.296-04:00Well, at least he didn't reveal his hideous be...Well, at least he didn't reveal his hideous belly like he did on SNL.

The fucker's trying too hard. A poster child for entertainment being stupid, while thinking it's smart. Just another turd in the toilet smearing brown streaks against the bowl on its way down the vortex. He can't make up his mind whether he's Nick Cave or Jackson Browne.

I listened to Pure Comedy twice on Spotify, and listened to I Love You Honeybear when it came out, and currently have zero desire to listen to his first, Fear Fun. Is he doing a Bill Murray-type lounge act that only folks under 40 get? I guess I could say 60 here, but I could be off.<br /><br />As for Fleet Foxes, Hopeless Blues is a Class 1-A album, Fleet Foxes (the band's first) is a bit of a snooze), and I ask you to give their new one, Crack-Up, a listen. It sounds to me jazzy in a Tim Buckley-Happy Sad or Goodbye and Hello sort of way, only with MUCH better production values.<br /><br />I saw Tim Buckley once in the late 1960s, but have yet to see Fleet Foxes, and have little desire to see FJM.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063639986915628650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-78001600570119079352017-07-05T15:32:04.183-04:002017-07-05T15:32:04.183-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063639986915628650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-86803826931049151522017-07-05T13:07:03.043-04:002017-07-05T13:07:03.043-04:00Fleet Foxes, eh?
