Old Folks Review Grizzly Bear

thumbnail icon: Old Folks Review Grizzly Bear

The last time we heard from the old folks at Breakfast At Sulmay's, they were affixing Bob Dylan and "Oriental music" to Dirty Projectors. Their take on Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks" is pretty accurate, and complete with Poseidon Adventure references. Joe describes the Brooklyn crew as "a college glee club doing a rock song" and notes that, hey, maybe he's "getting mellow" because he sort of likes them. They're even "Ok" by Bill. Ann, ever the instigator, has to ask "What's a 'Veckatimest,' anyway?" Continuing the love parade, they're also all pretty into the "sensuous" Iggy Pop. Ann gets a bit randier than usual, introducing romance into the triangle.

According to these three, Grizzly Bear > Animal Collective.

at least you can love to hate Ann.
Bill, on the other hand, contributes nothing.

Again, this deluded twit loves the fact anybody even listens to her. Stop feeding her false ego. Find someone else. Then she'll know her place

Jake Lamatta & The Poseidon Adventures? Are they channeling Dennis Miller?

Also, Joe remains the lifeblood of this show. Get with the new wave you digressive saps!

Somehow Ann eventually ending up with Iggy Pop sounds like an excellent idea.

Bill hates everything because everything is not Bob Seger.

If Joe keeps winning at life like this, he's going to live to 160.

Apparently being an annoying bitch doesn't fade with age. But I guess it wouldn't be the same without her at this point.

Joe seems to be the only one who truly appreciates music.
