How Funk Band Vulfpeck Took On Spotify | CNBC

[@aglobippo9934]

MY PLEASURE LET'S ROCK

[@duppykitoon]

That moment when snarky becomes annoying.

[@jamieharr4459]

Sleepify was dope. You had to really listen for it but the funk was there. It's in the spaces in between the notes.

[@brendank5413]

It was really low volume too

[@Smo1k]

It was in the space between the spaces, too!

[@jmcusack]

is it available for download anywhere?

[@inexpertxennial6067]

People should ACTUALLY buy the albums to fully support their favorite artists.

[@Zanthorr]

If an artist can put a blank piece of paper in an art museum then Jack should be able to sell sleepify.

[@lpharmer3496]

He can wear a suit ironically, now that's impressive

[@jeremiahsaxton8967]

I'm gonna go ahead and assume he was wearing his trademark shorts, socks and sneakers under there, and that the background was a green screen they put up in their living room studio.

[@dielaughing73]

With the tie deliberately askew

[@therealgreen94]

honestly tho Jack is an interviewers nightmare

[@eficzek007]

It almost feels like someone's talking in his earpiece the way he pauses all the time

[@Jacob-ib4zx]

Narduawar vs Vulfpeck

[@scentline]

I think it’s an interviewers’ job to make the interviewees talk whatever animals they got.

[@videos8159]

yes. and I love it

[@andynicholson7944]

He’s like a white Richard Ayoade

[@clapadamclap]

every awkward silence planned with precision ..

[@I_scooter_fast]

I'm getting that vibe but can you expand.. He isn't just this awkward im hoping... It comes off that he thinks he is superior to the main stream news network. While he may be a genius and superior to him in terms of musicianship, I found his attitude to be that he thinks he is SO FAR OUT and just KNOWS MORE and really just a lack of HUMILITY and etiquette. I'm really into all these young new UBER talented musicians cropping up on KZbin, but if the "future of music" is just cocky hipsters who think they are better than everyone else while actually stumbling through an interview and sending a mixed message. I think I get the intention and while it does speak to a millenial, ironic, hipster, superior, indie anti-establishment, BULL SHI*, then that, my friends, is not the pinnacle of human awareness. sometimes IT'S JUST NICE TO BE NICE. By being articulate, grateful, and showing respect, I think the impression wouldn't have left such a mixed taste in my mouth. And yes I listen to them and many other talented musicians that aren't on the dumb-as* radio....doesn't mean I need to be a dic* about it or think I am so alternative that I must be on some other level to the "super main stream straight edge idiots"who watch the news...AKA literally millions of people. ORRRRR in the case that he is really not playing a part, and is truly just this inept at human interaction.....then uhh, I'm glad he has a career in music and has found his niche bc this ain't it.

[@999a0s]

​@@I_scooter_fast to concisely and seriously address your comment - respect is earned, not given, and nightly news networks have proven time and time again that they aren't worthy of it. there is an inherent power asymmetry when someone is brought on a show like this - they're not brought there to expound on a multifaceted and complex issue, they're there to be pigeonholed into their perceived "controversial" position or role within the story by the anchor. as such there is absolutely no reason to treat the medium with respect. you may as well be silly

[@Jaestarexplodes]

Uhhhhh, this is scripted btw

[@I_scooter_fast]

@kdt I see that too. Yeah it may not be that bad and I'm definitely looking pretty far into it which I tend to do lol. But I still believe he might have alienated possible fans with the attitude. But yeahz I agree their music is great and they are pure and talented musicians who appreciate or respect music itself for sure!! Haha I'm surprised how many comments my random rant got. Nice !

[@lazylion420]

it's called Satellite Delay but alright...

[@thehodgi1]

You SHANT maketh the money

[@gheeraf1745]

Jack is literally just pulling all of this out of his ass when he is answering. The man didn't care about any corporate model, he just wanted to fund the tour.

[@LachClark]

in another interview he says he did rehearse a bit for this, though i agree the man has one golden ass

I don't know how he kept composure during that whole thing. This man...Is operating on a level that I previously could only imagine. He IS the weapon to surpass Metal Gear

[@connorwalker8927]

After watching this interview more than once, I am wholly convinced not even Jack himself understood the words coming out of his mouth.

[@yourfamilydocter]

Let’s focus on the fundamentals. Bounce pass, jump shop, pick and roll ya know, that kinda stuff.

best part

[@JoeyBullet222]

"....so the whole thing is jacked." - Jack Lmao

[@isaacmichaels]

My jazz teacher always said, "If less is more, than nothing is everything." Sleepify was everything.

[@noahmay7708]

The interviewers are so desperate to get something understandable out of him. So good.

[@harshbrownes]

Now I love Vulfpeck even more.

[@zpinsonhopgood4839]

watching his brain kick it into high gear once the words "litty lemonade" exited him was a high I never knew I'd find

Oh, he punked you guys. I'm crying. Oh, man. That's hilarious. He's so brilliant!

[@willherrington3741]

yeah but, they're on his side. why would he punk them?

[@evanzigmond1213]

Vulf has the best PR, it attracts fans

[@desktorp]

It's a scripted segment. If you thought it was a legitimate interview, you are the one who got 'punked'.

[@dansaunders1655]

Funked

[@marlanbarry7903]

It wasn't enough that I love his band? Now this dude has to become my spirit animal. Just another reason to love Vulfpeck and all it's incarnations.

My favorite is "corrose" profit. Which, you have to catch carefully as he stumbles through explaining loss and gains. @1:15

[@Six3rdy]

He also got _away_ with words. Lol

I’m nearly 3 years late to this video. This should go down as one of humanity’s greatest accomplishments in awkwardness. Just brilliant. 😂

How is Jack keeping such a straight face??

He's dead serious. Stop whining, him.

Jack should have done the interview in his redshirt, white shorts, white tube socks with the red stripes, and sneakers. Is he staying in L.A., the backdrop is Echo Park Lake where I got fishing for fun. If so, please put on a show for us Angelinos.

[@joshhoover1202]

Jack is the opposite of articulate in this interview. I still understand his point though.

[@MortonLuvz2drum]

I feel that the stumbling is also part of the act. Make you feel like he is unsure of himself, and then "bam" he hits you with some sarcastic material so deep. He's doing it to slow down the listener to make them actually listen to the words that he is saying, but also read between the lines.

[@sallybradshaw4576]

This reads like the Ocean's 11 script

[@justinssongsarehis2]

Do you like the movie? I see how the pausing and the interruptions are pretty spot on but I just don't understand if you're saying that the script is a jumbled mess or if the intentional awkwardness mimics those moments where Clooney and Pitt have full on conversations without ever finishing their sentences. Sorry I'm so late to seeing this comment but I've only ever watched the version of this interview from Vulf's channel, not CNBC

[@Ojisan642]

The suit and tie confused the tv bonobos.

[@troytsapatolis6657]

He seems so awkward. He just likes music

[@unodeldim3610]

this pay per play complaint doesnt' make sense if you don't know how much revenue is generated per play. If Spotty-Fi makes a dollar per play Then paying the artist a sixth of a Penny is misserable, but if onw play generates 5 pennies from Spotty then the rate is arguable.

[@Jeroenvrolijk]

Is it me or everybody just laughs about it but to actually take on Spotify is a big thing. Nobody does anything while spotify makes millions over the music of ill-paid artists. Glad CNBC to a note though...

[@jorymil]

I don't use Spotify, and I tell others not to use them. Music isn't a right. Just go buy the album off of the band's site or from Bandcamp.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Are Vulfpeck based in Detroit? That looks like the skyline....that expression at the end though, like: 'Yeah, I got them"....

[@jorymil]

LA.

[@JonTigert]

Did he really just "but the exposure?"

[@marcuszyy]

very cryptic indeed

[@blakerouse1717]

How can someone talk so much yet say absolutely nothing at the same time?

You mean the CNBC people, right? Jack did a pretty good job.
