Micachu Performance on NPR

[@SimianShakenspere]

Yes it made a great set for Micachu love you xxx.

[@stevebean1234]

Jees. I've been playing guitar for 12 years; I really wish i could get such fantastic rhythm and unique tone out of a guitar. i dont think ppl realize how mind-boggling amazing it is that she can extract such controllable dissonance with such rhythmic control. J Mascis tried to 'make his guitar' sound like drums, but tbh I think Micachu does a much better job (& she's not on the top 100 guitarists of all time list). Absolutely awesome. I suppose some people don't like dissonance, but I accidentally wandered into a concert of hers during the last two songs and was blown away!! so awesome. thought she was an austrailian dude playing crappy garage rock at first; but actually a classically trained girl with an insane skillset. such good muzix

[@regina1860]

and she's doing it on that tiny guitar that you know has terrible intonation and probably can't hold a tuning!

[@kirkradunz4389]

0:11 there's something pretty magic about seeing the first moment she knew about how a slate/clapperboard works and then knowing that she's going to go on to make some really fantastic film scores (Under The Skin/Jackie)

[@ka_okai9]

I love the way she sings.

[@julesbigg8515]

Utterly brilliant and totally compelling. Mica is indeed a true genius!

[@pitstopjohn]

I don't know about the other 4500 people who have viewed this but i cant stop watching it, its fucking amazing

[@ravenphile]

I just adore this performance of Floor

[@ShankingArmitage]

i have been travelling home for 5 hours it is half 2 in the morning and i cant stop listening a true cult favourite of a band 5 tracks in my itunes top 25 says it all

[@RizzlaRaver]

I find I can easily appreciate anything someone has clearly had to input a lot of emotion time and effort into if it is as obviously present as this

[@alekx1603]

I really love this stripped down version of Floor.

[@The7thTerror]

Idk, I'm obsessed, I love her.

[@park7854]

love

[@ekolke]

Scrivalicious you are right on target. You should see/hear them live! They are unbelievable live!! Check out their new “Chopped and Screwed” orchestral stuff. Mind blowing! Micachu & the Shapes are the best! -Eric Chicago

[@itmyowninvention]

You're right, she has this knack for doing the "wrong" thing at the right time. There is something quite special about this.

[@jyoan69]

awesome!! she's simply wonderfull

[@dovic86]

their dumbfounded expression at the beginning is priceless

[@MsZomy]

I love you Mica!!!!

[@Danvichie98]

i lovee

[@straystarstuff]

a true genius

[@gutterhead214]

bob boilen. he hosts "all songs considered" on NPR.

[@koojean]

i used to have a guitar like that when i was younger, and used to play with it all the time shit, if i knew i could have been famous with a toy guitar :P i cant stop llistening to her music though, addicting

[@goatyboy2007]

what a fret bandit

[@kitco23]

I totally agree.

[@EllyOltersdorf]

she wrote for the london philharmonic orchestra.

[@fog189]

It's like acoustic shoegazing

[@jordanmcquaid123]

You don't like it, ok. Don't give us the whole "wasting tax payers money" bullshit. Let other people appreciate how genius she is and you can continue to listen to music that never tries to be different or individual.

[@dropgod26]

I have a crush

[@zaratrusta79]

i hear kurt on the golden phone

[@friendofastranger]

These songs are way better if you set the play back speed to .5 Seriously.

[@josemedina9602]

dope

[@indyginc]

young daniel Johnston :) ,..,

[@koojean]

saw this artist in björk's channel, and i really like it! too sad i have to browse internet for awesome new experimental music, there's too much crap in that stupid box

[@theslowpushmusic]

@Scrivalicious Well said.

[@tokyohalogen]

she reminds me of Moe Tucker

[@dieinlima]

reminds me a futuristic bob dylan

[@zachwampler]

i think on the album they're... im wearing my expressionless face bought lots of things to replace you i fill every possible space do anything to contain you and i put things all over the floor if i stand on my bed, i can see it all and i put your things all over the floor if i jump off my bed, i can smash it all i think ive made a massive mistake ill put you away and exchange you my feelings are slightly misshaped do anything oh yeah

[@ravenphile]

Sid Barrett has been reincarnated as a woman.

[@cumbialeal]

microtonalidades!!!!

[@lakselv3768]

Hipster music.

[@CandyVolcano]

I have to admit to you the same thing. I'll probably get flagged down for expressing my opinion, sadly.

[@Eleiris]

That microphone stuck to the guitar is making a mess.

[@robram2025]

I say just tune the fucking thing up!

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Nice weird tuning. sounds like No wave.

[@JRBugge]

She has forgotten to vote the guitar or whatever?

[@blackeneddove]

Um...

[@itmyowninvention]

This is like caviar; it's an acquired taste. You have to work your way up to a place where you can appreciate this sort of thing; if you are going from somewhat tamed, or dare I say, "normal" music, and leaping straight into this, you will struggle to find anything of substance.

[@dipjonrd4874]

itmyowninvention no, your comment is ridiculously condescending. "Work your way up." Mica Levy is good at a lot of things but let's be 100% freaking clear: she is not playing that guitar well at all in this video. I haven't seen her in other videos but this is just sloppy, she hardly gets her hands in the right position in time, you can also tell she isn't totally pressing the strings down (a sign that she probably doesn't play guitar all the time). Stop with your esoteric BS, this isn't good in any way. Mica levy has talent in many aspects, but this is surely not one.

[@dovic86]

"she's not pressing the strings properly" u_u lol, the strings are intentionally muted, dude...

[@dmonty603]

This makes my ears bleed, saw them in denver last night, was painful.

[@worldbuddy]

He's a she

[@bschlinks]

@clynep SHE'S a dude. aka a guy. So I don't think you have much to say bout that. haha

[@666xfluffyxbunnyx999]

I think instead this is the rock bottom of talent, and she's capitalizing big time on niche artsy fartsy consumers

[@park7854]

i genuinely love this shit so she must be doing something right

[@kasuhmy]

smd

[@armydude84]

She looks homeless lol music's good though

[@666xfluffyxbunnyx999]

crap, too, is an acquired taste. Look up "Coprophagy"

[@jak8eal]

this is terrible. It cost the tax payer serious bucks to send mugs like this to private music school and this is what you end up with. Look it up. Purcell school - annual fees as of 2009 = £29,577. If she got government funded place, well, don't even get me started. Having said that, Not everyone can be a wonderful Pianist or a great singer etc. Peace homies.

[@BoxcarBomber]

I'm classically trained and I think this is shit...
