Parquet Courts - Berlin Got Blurry (Official Video)

[@westmezzanine4321]

“Kind ears captive to the beers you’ve purchased” What a brilliant lyric

[@daniel7379]

The artistry of the "yeah" down the phone is top notch.

[@nubejoven]

I love everything about this song. That chord progression, that silly bassline at the verse. But god, words cannot express how much i love the lyrics. If this song were a woman i would absolutly be afraid to talk to her.

[@johnreed2242]

I own a hard wood flooring company and I have just realised that Parquet Courts are my new favourite band.The irony of it is that often times I hate parquet flooring but ultimately I love them as I do this amazing band.

[@robrob1723]

I owned a hardwood flooring company for 25 years . Retired now . And yes love this band . Hated parquet because it was such a pain in the ass to install

[@thenuge4227]

are you hiring ?

[@sentient_baby_carrot]

I own a consumer packaged goods company and I have just realized that Parkay Quarts is my new favorite band. The irony of it is often times I hate oil-based butter substitutes but I ultimately love them as I do this amazing band.

[@griffinlee3451]

great band! always

[@bigcheese2128]

“Feels so effortless to be a stranger but feeling foreign is such a lonely habit” describes exactly how I felt for the first 3 years after my family moved to a new state. God I wish this song was out when we moved here

[@benorlopp8244]

A. Savage lyrics always seem to hit soft targets i didn't know i had

[@zoloftzambuki2271]

My homie reminded me the other day that I wouldn’t shut up about this song the year before I moved to Berlin. Here now, and it’s quite something to play this tune on late nights on the trams, up and down the straßes 🥲

I went to the Nelsonville Festival near Athens Ohio to see Connor Oberst with my sister. After the show, I stumbled(literally) back to my hotel room and I met these guys. Great dudes and the best band I heard at the festival. Thanks for the cool experience guys!

[@gilmorejohn]

Great song fellas! Has that timeless feel to it. Not quite sure why but the energy and vibe of this song reminds me a ton of Minor Threat's "Good Guys (dont wear white)". I believe that is nothing but a good thing. Cannot wait to hear the new album. Parquet Court's songwriting gets better and better!

Met Andrew Savage after a gig last October. Asked him whether he'd seen more black guys at his shows, must have been the single most stupid thing I have ever asked someone and I can't apologize for it.

[@camilopibi]

1:51 these flags on the top of the building are from Turkey and Germany?

[@g.waldmeister1851]

It's a big LED screen on top of an apartment building where the wall used to be (well, not really the wall, the Hinterlandmauer but that's probably too technical for now). In 2016 this was done to show solidarity with the Turkish opposition against Erdoğan and to strengthen unity among Germans of Turkish descent and the rest of the public.

[@camilopibi]

Erdogan have a big opposition in Germany. Also, i know the important Turkish colony on than country. Thanks for comment :) (and sorry for my English haha, I speak Spanish)

[@g.waldmeister1851]

If you speak Spanish you'd feel right at home in Berlin these days ;)

[@camilopibi]

I have good impressions about Berlin as a global city :)

[@g.waldmeister1851]

Yeah, well, it has pros and cons. Many young people from Spanish speaking countries (especially Spain) have come to Berlin because they didn't see a future at home with youth unemployment as high as it is. Other than most capitals of the world in the last ~70 years Berlin was not the engine of economic growth in the nation but due to the split was dependent on money transfers from other parts of Germany. So with wages not as high as they are in South and West Germany, the cost of living wasn't as high either. Now you have expats from places like New York coming to the city and of course they laugh at the average rent prices. Say, they are here on a two year assignment from a big tech company and of course earn much, much more than normal Berliners do. So they move to those hip, urban "so Berlin" areas and push out the people who lived there for decades, who actually made the "Kiez" what it is. What I'm trying to say: Berlin is really fun and seems like anything goes, but gentrification is out of control and born and raised Berliners like myself have now become the minority because a lot of us simply can't afford to live here anymore. Berlin is far gone from the adventurous spirit of the 1990s and it is turning more and more into a normal, boring Western city like New York or London with all the same shops everywhere plus tourists getting drunk and behaving like they're on a playground for adults. As for the Spanish speaking people, well...what I don't understand is how loud they are. I'm sure it's a cultural thing but when you are on the subway it feels like they're yelling at each other despite sitting across from one another :D

[@moreblankets]

You killed it on this one!

[@21hazza]

Quite a strange song yet it has a certain charm!

[@levijmiller]

YESSS

[@Zakaria95M]

It's already hard to envision a better rock album this year. At least, the two official releases have set a lofty bar. I haven't heard such upbeat music from A. Savage since Fergus & Geronimo and Teenage Cool Kids' first two records (which I urge anyone who hasn't to check out), even though the subject matter might not be so joyous, tongue in cheek implications aside!

[@coolnesss16]

+Zakaria Meddings Savages album was strong, Tacocat has an album out that's great too.

[@luciano53688]

Ive been a backpacker myself and have visited Berlin twice. It's an awesome city. The best in continental Europe, IMO. I think the clip captures perfectly the vibe of the city and its weird visitors (Adam Savage on the clip and myself in 2014 and 2015): -Eating doner kebab in a sloppy way on the streets -Walking through badly lit streets (it seems that Berlin people and public services dont care about good lightining on the streets at night. haha) -Talking on the phone to someone -Taking the U-Bahn with the Brandenburger Tor patterns on the glass window -Having trouble using the paid laundromat -The weird/cool bars we can visit, where you can have so many beers and make Berlin literaly get blurry. (I dont know if this is the meaning of the song) -Being an awkward foreing person trying to enjoy the city, but sometimes not being able, cause you are just too shy and awkward.

You can really tell Savage has an affinity for David Berman. Both the song and video are very Silver Jews-y
