Bumbershoot Monday: A Few Final Thoughts

Going to have to disagree with you there about the Lonely Forest. If you catch a phrase of their lyrics they might sound trite, but if you listen to the entire song and what it is saying, trite would be the last descriptor. Try them out again.

"This is the kind of stuff you might find in the shallow end of the Twilight soundtrack pool: dickless, arena-aimed indie with mega-church praise-rock band levels of subtlety."
Ouch. That's gotta sting.

+1 on lonely forest. they're totally going to break out and be huge... and they're totally boring.

The Lonely Forest is a band that often traffics in big primary-color emotions but in service of some ideas that are unexpected and complicated. It's zeitgeisty, courageously heart-on-sleeve. I fully understand why some people don't dig it, but I definitely do.

Out of gas
Out of road
Out of car
I don't know how I'm going to go and
I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens
I was giving them away and
I had a drink the other day
I had a lot to say
And I said
You will come down soon too
You will come down too soon

One thing I have to mention though is those are not the lyrics to the song! anyways carry on......

get over yourself. the dude wrote this album several years ago, and he's now just 21. you don't have to love it. lyrically they're not snarky, nor mean, nor currently drug laden. some of the bands you just mentioned write lyrics far more trite, but that's not to say they are terrible acts. find one thing positive to say or don't write anything. what's wrong with this city not supporting it's own?

In the realm of the Lonely Forest's career the reality is that your review is basically insignificant. I feel the language you used to describe them was totally inappropriate.

So; let me get this straight; the Lonely Forest are " perfectly competent players" - that's good thing, right?; they are "radio-ready power pop" - must be pretty good the be radio-ready; and "there was a long, snaking line of kids waiting in the rain to get in" - and this is because they are BORING? Dude, you either have an agenda AGAINST these guys or you are just LAZY and did not do your homework! These guys are FANTASTIC and will be looking DOWN on you from the heights of success they are sure to achieve! By the way, when you were criticizing the lyrics, you totally misquoted them; again ,Dude, do your homework! The more you look into then meaning of these lyrics, the more you will appreciate their significance! So, get to work and start learning what these guys have to offer!

The only thing long overdue is a trip to your local ear doctor. While you're there, have them take out the obvious build-up of earwax that seems to be blocking your below-average ability to judge talent.

Okay listen here you music snob bitch (Eric Grandy). First of all I have been a huge fan the John and the band since like 03, and they have not yet ceased to amaze me. Maybe the reason that they are getting so much press lately is because that they came out with a fantastic Indie-pop album that everyone loves, maybe? I could be wrong though. Second Johns lyrics are pretty damn amazing for his age, and his genre of music that he writes. They are not sappy, and would never fucking appear in a Twilight soundtrack. The lyrics that I listen to and many others are smart, simple, meaningful, from the heart and actually make sense, what else do you want to hear ignorant fuck. And as for boring, every show I have gone to I have only seen people with there jaws dropped, and there eyes fixated on how much talent these guys actually have in them (much more than a shitty writer for "The Stranger" like you).
P.S Oh yeah you quoted there lyrics wrong it's "You're beautiful, but you're empty" you music snob fucker.
