Old People Hate Animal Collective, Beirut, Indie Rock In General

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2011, or our Best Albums of 2011.

These videos have circulated the net over the past couple of days, and they are truly hilarious. Three elderly folks sit in a diner every Sunday and check out 2-3 tracks, typically of the Indie Rock or Rap genre. They’ve now infamously bashed “My Girls,” “My Night With The Prostitute From Marseille,” “In The New Year,” and other great songs. Watching their facial reactions, their groaning about the build-ups and repetition, and their slightly off-color remarks makes for a great viewing experience. Check out one of the videos below, the one with “My Girls” (and a Young Jeezy listen as well). Then check out the other videos at this website. Enjoy.

Well, as far as I’m concerned both songs were very annoying, so I completely agree with these old people in the video, even if it’s slightly funny to watch.

I also agree with the old dudes… not so much that old lady who was getting down to that crappy rap song… but she did come around when it was time to dislike that song that stays the same all the way thru… good show guys! :P

“I don’t thin they should sustain it through the entire recording, they should’ve cut it off at about 4 bars and then go into the other thing. That thing dominated the entire recording. I doubt that this group is not gonna get very far from Baltimore, Marilyn.” Great stuff.

I saw this one another blog, and I think it’s really great. The best ones are when they are happy, like for Ting Tings :)

I love that he said they won’t get far from Baltimore. AC is already so huge, and they’ve been everywhere. These old people make me giggle.
