Que demonios quisieron decir – 4

Volumen 4: The Presidents of the United States of America – Peaches

Emma Ai wonders where's everyone

Aaaaall right¡¡¡¡ that reminds me of my cousin’s parrot saying happily “I’m a bitch”, so…   Where is he from and what did they tell him he was saying??? ’cause he looks really excited about the peaches so he’s obviously not aware of what he’s saying, is he?…. IS HE??

The sound is actually not quite bad I must say, that technique I did not know and it sounds good, but what’s with the lyrics and the happy-punk-rock-pop direction??? still it’s not so bad…I would recommend to get a writer, if they do not look up to Blink 182 of course… or explain the metaphor or something please. And then it gets romantic (dreamed about you, woman) out of nowhere and then the yellow musketeers (plus the blue one) protect the holy peaches (a fight of dubious success ’cause I give better punches than the frontman)… you need a new video director too.

Sorry Frilly, I don’t really think there’s need for any rant besides the song…would be too much for one session.

Hey, it’s the guy from Helmet! Wow, who could’ve thought he was going to do this kinda quirky rock after being in one of the hardest rockin’ bands in the world? I mean, I never thought he would take out all
strings from the guitar and restring it with 2 bass strings…well at least he kept the funky alternate tuning and… oooooh, sorry, it’s not Page Hamilton…it’s the freaky bald dude from Live, you know, the one that dreams that he is Michael Stipe, except more Buddhist and less sexually ambiguous. Now instead of doing sad metaphors for corporeal fluids, he’s just singing about peaches, meaning, he’s singing about asses. He really lost his Samadhi, innit?

Oh noes!!! NOW I SEE WHO HE IS! It’s Dave Matthews! By all things fruity loopy with soy milk… he really lost it after Before this Crowded Streets, innit? I wouldn’t be surprised if he sings about, I dunno, american babies or summink after this John Woo tribute.

Ahome’s right, Frill-o-meister, the video is so deranged that any of our petty rants couldn’t touch a flower of it.

Declino en opinar.

Noisy wants to live in Cardiff

EN LA PROGENITORA!!!

Tenia siglos de no oir esta cancion y creo que es mas nostalgia que otra cosa, pero admito que me entretiene. Makes sense, right? It’s unpretentious rock with a quirky video. It has everything: visual
jokes (love the peach tins in the tree branches), karate chop socky action, a small jaunty dance (around the 1:00 – 1:05 mark) , a “scratching the ground after the blunt of the attack” anime bit at 2:24 and 2:41 and some nifty old school kung fu movie reverse camera at 2:31 and 2:54… what else do you want on a funny video? And I mean funny “ha ha”, not funny “ooooh man, they are so drugged out their skulls!”.

I mean, yeah, we all like complex songs about depression and raining in Manchester and the numbness of the loaves of bread at Sainsbury’s after they were left at the cruel Beeston sun, but this group, like
Lit and Wheatus, are just having a good time, and that’s what this video is: some dumb old fun.

Can’t say anything bad about them. Oh, and the peaches? It’s a song the singer made when he was a kid. Look it up.

Homo Rodans wants pies on Earth

¿Que haría Homo Rodans con millones de duraznos, duraznos de’a-gratis, millones de duraznos, duraznos para él? Pues para empezar tendría que asegurarme de que fueran enlatados y en almibar si los quisiera comer, porque de otra forma la cascara me causa una reacción alérgica con la cual se me inflama el paladar encias y nervio trigémino. Secondly, un millon de duraznos = un millon de botellas de rompope de acuerdo al álgebra homorodiana. Finally, me aseguraria que los productores de dichos melocotones no fueran parte de la mafia japonesa ninja ninjitsu que azota los bosques de coníferas en el hemisferio norte.

Está profunda reflexión nace después de ver el video de los Presidents of the USA para su rola “Peaches” la cual estaba enterrada en el baúl de mis recuerdos más remotos de la extinta Rock 101(R.I.P) Nunca me había imaginado siquiera que tuviera video, y mucho menos que el final fuera un despliegue vulgar de artes marciales. Grata sorpresa la del Sr Editor al encomendarnos esta discusión tan jugosa!!(duraznos= rompope/fructosa multiplied by jugo en el algebra homorodiana…..diviertase usted con el despeje!)

Ogo would like some of whatever we smoked

Ogo no pudo enviar nada porque esta juegando en el play/Ogo couldn’t send anything this month because he’s too busy mercing zombies on playstation.

Which is too bad, because he would’ve loved all the action on the video. I mean, with him being a gorramn fan of japanese soap operas where everyone gives “the evil eye” so everyone and fight for 4 or 5 hours (real time), he’d certainly appreciate all the kicking and licking that go on here. It’s like Naruto, but without the bloody awful dialogue, dig??

Go watch Naruto.

By the power of Gayskull’s Dance Remix!! It’s the ugly 90s back in action!

This video is soooo freaked out that I neeeeeed to do a play by play highlight out of it:

0:01 Oooh, clever, tins on the branches… it’s about consumerism!!
0:07 That sitar-lite sound warns me this is SOME HIPPIE BULLSH1T ABOUT
THE RAINFOREST!
0:34 “This video was brought to you by the National Fruit Association of America… because it makes you fruity!”
0:37 HOLY SH1T!! A FLYING STOOL!!!!! This is like Doctor Who in the 80s!
0:52 He has “peaches” written on his skull…what is he? The white version of Prince?
1:00 “Look at me dance while a stool lies dead in the floor” OH THE HUMANITY!
1:16 Why is he moving his head like a deranged Alanis Morissette? Oh, wait, that’s redundant…
1:35 WHAT THE FUKK IS THAT?!??!?!
1:45 They know something is in the woods….something BEYOND THE GRAVE!!!
2:10 FUKKOLA!!! NINJAS!!!
2:18 Ah, not only we are silly rockers… we have MAD FIGHTIN’ SKILLS!!
2:30 Kapow! BANG! BLAMMOS! POW!!!
2:44 EAT YOUR HEART OUT, GOKU!!!
2:50 Hey, the drummer has Vans…before they were en vogue again!! HE ROCKS!
3:02 If that bit had a “Six Million Dollar Man” bionic-jump sound effect, this’d be heaven, folks..

So, yeah, they kick ass, anime style, without big eyes or emo-dirge blabbermouth sappy stories.

Damas y caballeros, los abuelos de Bowling for soup y cualquier grupo punketito que haga letras chistosas  ( y videos simpaticos).

And noisy, it’s about asses, son… but you wouldn’t know about that.. VIRGIN!!!

RTD - Writer extraordinaire yeah!!

THIS SONG DELIVERS!!! You just want the ninjas to eat beans on toast, right??

Buncha mosquitoes, you wouldn’t understand something like this.

Go buy my book.

Go buy my book.

Seriously, you straights, go buy my book.

Or I’ll do a fifth season of Doctor Who.

Imightbeelvis loves chicken kebabs!

I think Emilio should say something about this… or is this song too low in the evolutionary step for him?

Is he chicken?

bo-coooookkk!

Emilio loves to waste money on cds

Presidents of the United States of America = One of the shittiest bands on the planet.

.

Imightbeelvis loves chicken kebabs!

Would sir care to point out a better band?

Really.

Just.

One.

Band.

I dares you.

Wait, guys, can’t you see what’s happening??? THE NINJAS ARE MAKING US FIGHT!! They even messed up the layout of the page!!!! Let us not fall into temptation and deliver us into a few cocktails Noisy made for us… while we stare directly into the Barrel of a Gun, because next month (hopefully) we’ll go for Depeche Mode’s weirdest video EVAH!
