So all i've listened to is 'it gets better' and the Conan performance, but based on that and based on what you're saying...i think it's fair to state that...paris hilton ain't got shit on fun..

fun. is music inspired by Youtube. While we hear the Queen/ELO/ABBA influences I think attributing the inspirational sources to those artists is a little too generous. It feels more like they heard this music on Glee or saw a Youtube person play a cover song of a cover song with a whole bunch of loop pedals and synth drums. This is a band that has only ever heard the "Hey Jude (remix)", if ya get what I'm saying.

This is so true that Portlanders are over them. They have played MFNW a couple of times recently but they release albums every four years so people sort of forget about them.

The odd thing is that Nate Reuss (lead singer of fun.) was previously in a band, The Format, that was generally highly regarded, especially their album Dog Problems. They were still highly derivative (so HFG probably still hates them), but I found Dog Problems at the Multnomah County Library's used store for 75 cents and it's pretty good. Here's some irony from wikipedia: "The Format chose their name to make fun of the music industry's inclination towards a cookie-cutter "format" for a hit." And look at fun. now.

I'm really loving Shearwater. Never been really a fan of Okkervil River though.

I feel bad but everytime Shearwater starts playing on my 'Sasquatch 2012' playlist I think it's jack black pretending to be all slow before the grand reveal. It's probably a coincidence with jack black's voice and me not trusting anybody who's trying a little too much to be epic, but it's pretty funny. It's happened too many times with the actual d for me to trust myself, but it's also pretty awesome when I Dr. Garbanzoure out that it's just actually rock music. Fucking comedy rock...you're just my favorite!
