I'm slowly combatiting alittle "hipster-itis". Now that Young the Giant are playing commercials, part of me doesnt feel like listening to them anymore. Its stupid and when I feel that way I make a point to listen to some Young the Giant and afterwards I'm glad I did. But, I sympathesize with people who don't want to listen to bands after they go mainstream. The music is so cheapened when its played in a commercial and literally every tom, dick, and harry has the same favorite song as you. But, thats dumb because bands need money too and whats important is that their music stays the same or, better yet, becomes more amazing.
have you heard "apartment" in the open session? its fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean about not wanting to listen to them. for me, it's just a matter of a little voice in the back of my head whining, "I KNOW, its a great song, i've been trying to get you to listen to it forever!" Still, music is music, and i always look at it as better touring dates, and more people to go see the concerts :)
