Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments + The 313 Best Covers Of 2014

Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments + The 313 Best Covers Of 2014

It’s the first Shut Up, Dude of 2015! I can feel it’s gonna be a good year for comments. Lots of gifs, lots of lols from you guys. Before we get into this week’s highest and lowest rated responses to Coachella vs. Governors Ball, Fashion Week, and 24/192 downloads, I have a bit of housecleaning. Because I love you, throughout 2014 I collected MP3s of every cool new cover song I came across — compilation cuts, radio sessions, SoundCloud loosies, obscure TV rips, etc. The plan was narrow and rank them, but ultimately I did not have time. Now it’s really late for a Best Of 2014 list. 2016 is right around the corner! Maybe you still want to hear them. I have 313 and most of them are worth hearing. (I only included live stuff if it was broadcast-quality audio.) Here’s a 1.45GB zip. It won’t be there forever; one of you should mirror it. From A.C. Newman to ZHU, here’s what it’s got…

Why on earth would she have to apologize? This was obvious for what it was: two different sides of Sia fighting for control. That’s how I took it on first watch, and she confirms it.

Why should artists have to apologize when their art is misinterpreted? The road we’re going down is getting ridiculous.

Why do artists continually have to apologize to people who misinterpret art by inserting their own perversions?

When I watched this video, I considered the idea of a father/daughter warring with each other. It’s all very playful and sweet to my eyes.

I suppose this is one of the consequences to an overly stimulated American society. Sad, really.

I always have to laugh when someone says that out of the roughly 2 billion people that exist on this planet, only one or two people are capable of doing a thing.

It’s an absurd statement that just says “I didn’t really try too hard to think about this”.

I can’t decide what’s more annoying, if the excessive praise to this below average Kanye’s song or the referentiality from the guy who wrote it.

#1 cale | Jan 6th Score:-15

You’ve been talking to Breihan too much, which you should not do, because he’s a fucking idiot. The thing that made all those Animal Collective acolytes so intolerable was that there were just so many. The Dodos, The Keepaways, The Yawns, The El Guinchos, The Ruby Suns, etc. They were everywhere, but if you listen to them now, they all, except for maybe Millionyoung who were awful, had some pretty great songs. That’s why you can’t really compare them to Pearl Jam, because Pearl Jam themselves were awful, and all the stuff they inspired was of course awful as well. Animal Collective were a great band, and most of the stuff they inspired varied from decent to good, with a couple of great tracks scattered in there (I actually think Candy Claws is the best out of all of them, and I prefer AC influenced MGMT to Time To Pretend MGMT.) If some kid picks up all those Animal Collective inspred albums in ten years, he’s gonna love that shit.

With that said. I like this one better than Tomboy, and less than Person Pitch. Tomboy had bad tracks on it. Tomboy, Drone, Friendship Bracelet. The only one i’m not that into on this one is Lonely Wanderer.
