The Apples In Stereo Return To Colbert With Nothing New To Play
As Stephen likes to say, he's been a fan of the Apples In Stereo since way back when they were the Apples In Mono. Or at least, since way back to when Robert Schneider penned and performed the very special song "Stephen, Stephen" for the Colbert/Decemberists Guitarmageddon extravaganza. Yesterday the Apples returned to Stephen's little studio, ostensibly to celebrate "the release of the Japanese picture disc of 'Stephen, Stephen,'" but really to promote an album that came out so long ago who's with me.
They look great and all, but you say "Can You Feel It," I say "Can You Believe They're Still Promoting New Magnetic Wonder"? Well, maybe a year and a half after you put out a track's video isn't that long a time to wait for a live performance of it.
That's not true. It actually is a long time to wait. Seriously. That's my point.

So are you trying to say that it's been a long time between the album release and their promotion of it? This post is so ambiguous.
On an unrelated note, your profile image looks like a Sufjan Stevens wax figure, and it creeps me out.

Oh, I didn't recognize him. I stand by my first impression. Just googled Russell and see there's a film coming out. Everyone from that circle is getting a film these days. I saw Philip Glass' a few weeks ago. I guess that means Chuck Close is next.

Yeah, it may seem like an "old" song in the relativity of modern pop music, but regular viewers of Colbert will recall Rush doing "Tom Sawyer" and CSN doing "Teach Your Children" in the past few weeks...not exactly breaking new ground there. Just because a song is a little old doesn't mean it's a bad song.

Who cares. Grizzly Bear went on tv playing Yellow House shit this year too and I didn't see anyone complain.

This is like a song from some Nickelodeon show where pre-teens get together for a middle school talent show. No, it's more generic than that. So terrible. And by a wide margin the most obnoxious front man in whatever genre this is. "CAN YOU FEEL ATTTT." And they could take a(nother) lesson from Liam Gallagher on lyric writing. First one didn't quite take.

I have to agree with you. I'd never listened to them before and when they came on I just couldn't believe how terrible it was, a boring song with bland lyrics and a moronic -looking ensemble of 'characters'. I don't know, maybe they have some good stuff, and that song was just a bad choice, but watching them was excruciating.
