      People that say music is dead don’t really listen to music anyways, well, nothing decent at least. Haha. Three years after tour comment and it still holds true. People still think guitar music is dead but I do feel it’s starting to make a comeback again.

      I think this song is 10 times better when Stella is playing drums on it. I'm biased as a fan of Stella's and her band Warpaint, but she just adds so much more to this song than Kurt's regular drummer.

      @@connfyoozed I totally 100% agree. I watched the live performance at KEXP with the other drummer and was kinda blown away at how much more I enjoyed this version with more groove. It's also a little faster. Just shows how important a drummer is in a band. I can't get enough of this clip!

    Really solid song in all aspects. And having Stella on drums bumps it up from good to great. I'm not a musician, but it impresses me that Stella seems to play every verse in the song slightly differently, but still keeps that solid backbeat that pulls the song together. She just adds a certain amount of "pizzazz" to her playing that most drummers can't or don't add. Oh, and she sings pretty well too: this is one of the only versions of this song I've seen where there are no backing vocals from Stella (and the keyboard player also).

    • @Bionicles12345678
      @Bionicles12345678 8 лет назад +8

      Agree with the 'pizzazz' thing she also does this a bit on Washinton's- Limitless. She looks to be one of those 'less is more' drummers, and knows when to hold back properly.

    People are expected to live for around eighty years, at least in the more developed countries... And in that time we find what? Five or six musicians/artists that REALLY take hold of our spirit and keep us listening day after day. For me, Kurt is not only one of those musicians, but surely my all time favourite artist. Kurt's music heals me, and by that I don't just mean "I like it a lot." I mean to say that when I put his records into my ears, I can feel all of my negative emotions evaporating. Thanks for that Kurt. You're the best.

      @davidleclerc386 8 лет назад +1

      +Caroline Inzucchi Thank you so much for this piece of advice ! I've often experienced the same problem when using HP filter on the OH, the kick being too upfront and not part of the mix. I then tended to lower the HP freq until the "room" sound of the kick can be heard but never found it very satisfactory. Even when sending the kick to the same reverb room bus as the kit (a little). Your method is great ! Thanks again!

    Man. Just watched it 3 times through. Great great great version of the song. Love how he opened it up a little live. Learned to play it the first day I heard it. Simple chord progression, but for some reason I can't get it out of my head. I'm in my mid 40's, but have a close friend that's 30. He turned me on to Kurt Vile and I've been all in ever since.

    Kurt played in Portsmouth, NH. was hanging out downtown with my girl and I didn't recognize who it was until I heard them play this song as they were tuning everything before the show. unfortunately I had to go to work before they started the show.. was pretty bummed but glad I got to hangout and hear them jam a little while getting ready. Great sound for sure, looking forward to hearing them when sometime in the near future.
