Deerhoof

Posted over 5 years ago
Well, I somehow just got turned onto Deerhoof. While some of the stuff is a little hard on the ears, most of it is brilliant. I really like the Friend Opportunity and Milk Man CD's...still listening...I often wonder why it often takes years to get turned onto a band. It probably has something to with the fact that you can only listen to one song at a time, and that it can take a while to get around to all of the great bands out there. While I often wonder "how did I not hear of this band before, or why didn't I check into them earlier?, I kinda dig playing ''catch-up" with so many tracks and CD's to listen to after making the late discovery. In some ways, its better than getting turned onto a group after the first release, then having to wait a year or two for more music. Anyway, cheers Deerhoof....

  2. Spencer Owen says You've gotta track down The Runners Four; almost nothing on that one's "difficult listening," and it's superb. Then there's Apple O' (my personal intro to the band, and maybe their finest moment), and the Green Cosmos EP ... man, they're one of the best bands, I realize every time I consider their catalogue.

  3. KezOnTour says Apple O' is amazing. I'm seeing Deerhoof next week, so figured I ought to listen to at least some of their stuff. 30 minutes later, and a serious case of "what the hell was THAT!", I had to play it again. And again.

  4. Hodad says I downloaded the "Runners Four" CD and .....yeah...I tend to go back and forth between the "what the hell was THAT" and being totally blown away. A few of the tracks tend to move the "Experimental Meter" a bit too far to the right. However, with such a large catalog, I believe once I get it all loaded into my ipod, I believe can create a pretty good and long playlist for this band...and I will absolutely be looking for them on tour...be sure to write a review after the show...Cheers..
