Parquet Courts - One Man, No City (Rough Trade Session)

[@mrmans484]

I just cannot get enough of these guys.

[@Mansquasho36]

Fucking beautiful. I've been listening to Human Performance nonstop since it dropped. There's so much expression and lyrical genius, I hope you all come to Florida soon.

[@firedonuts150]

FUCKING GOOOD MUSIC!!! PARKAY QUARTS ROCK

[@Sizzidizzle]

mansquasho No one ever comes to Florida :(

[@ealbor]

They sound like a song of Talking Heads+Velvet Underground

[@pain-qz9kb]

Devo?

[@rriffrraff]

pixies?glad to hear a great band in these times.awesome vibe

[@ifwecouldvote]

Vocals are very DEVO

[@salubrious]

That's gas, was just thinking the exact same thing before I read your comment.

[@puppamonster3]

These young men probably were not born when the Talking Head did their thing. Vinyl is forever, thank God.

[@nevets4ever4]

Picasso: "Good artists copy, great artists steal." Exactly what Parkway Corks have done here and done well.

[@kennethguitarfiend4493]

Dalí: talent does what he can, genius does what he wants. 🎶

[@christopherbrougham]

I thought of David Byrne too and Lou Reed, but after a while it occurred to me it was similar to the 'Dunedin Sound' in New Zealand: Toy Love, The Chills and The Clean, for example. Those lovely lazy jangly guitars.

[@shadowcamron]

totally agree

[@Aleph-Noll]

i got those two right off the bat too!

[@jfjgkgkj]

post-punk really well done even nowadays wich is pretty rare ... Looking forward to every recorder they make

[@kihmsanders9205]

Great beat, minimal instrumental layering, propulsive and hypnotic. God, these guys are good!

[@maissinp]

I hear Jonathan Richman in some of their songs too.

[@milodunn-clarke8766]

These guys are happening... right now.

[@faulsname8869]

Austin seems well versed in the post modern philosophies of Baudrillard and Sartre

[@jaysonwilson2697]

Fuckin groovy. The riff works so well against the bongos. Love the experimental guitar interplay

[@BrummyTom]

Agreed, I would love this as an instrumental. I mean this as a compliment to the music rather than an insult to the vocals. I could listen to it on a loop and put the daily bullshit into perspective.

[@theuniesteyn733]

Those bongos are giving me life.

[@user-kg8yd9rb1i]

Who else came from The Blacklist show?

[@lilsouffle]

ᅟᅟᅟ ᅟᅟᅟ same

[@ronelle1730]

Yep, me too.

[@ZeRapaz]

One here

[@lori6786]

Me! :)

[@mmclaugh08]

Yep. Caught my ear on Blacklist. Good tune.

[@zachkasa7607]

This sounds like a song mystic spiral from the show Daria would play lol

[@DOGALR]

Heard them on TV series of Blacklist last night

[@russogiuseppe9600]

Non finisco mai di ascoltarlo,ossessivo a un capolavoro!

[@palomamoreno3232]

Radio FIP. France = merci pour la chanson !

[@MrVersipellis]

i wonder if they like the talking heads?

[@mariogaleano9365]

+Versipellis you're so perceptive to pick up on that! thumbs up!

[@faustoiv8533]

And Pavement of course

[@cactaceous]

All they do is rip off, and blatantly may I add, other artists from previous eras. There is nothing original about this band. Nothing. Lyric content, ripped off, sound, ripped off. Delivery, ripped off. On every song.

[@cactaceous]

+cactaceous What are we doing today, boys? Making a song? Ok. Bring my Velvet Underground, Pavement and Talking Heads records. Lets see. Lets see. Who will we rip off today for this song! Hmmm. Lets start it with a bit of Talking Heads and segue into some VU at the end. Ok? Ok. Song. Sone. Next!

[@MrVersipellis]

+cactaceous don't forget Television! Basically a big sloppy mess of late 20th century NYC-core

[@theophile148]

Marc E.Smith + Velvet underground

[@patrickel94]

*plus Swell Maps

[@kennethguitarfiend4493]

Devo, costello, pavement..... so many good stuff

[@matrocious]

those times at that job, "no sitting" business mantras bash brains in and out: "the productive employee is an efficient employee, always on their feet, always thinking thinking, work the handbook scenarios, you will be quizzed in new age high school, pop"

[@williambrodie9236]

Cooioy Yo 😎!!! That's way cool dude I love that roughness guidance you know ribbit Bouder CO ..

[@nevets4ever4]

Yes it is Velvety Talking Heads - but hey it's done real well, esp the tailing instrumental.

[@itzelgene9155]

The perfect soundtrack for a road trip

[@ringrust8308]

I never thought about dying before. I never sucked on the dying

[@chrissvitreoushumour]

Guys. Buy the Vinyl. It is so cool

[@malbuff]

Pavement lives!

[@bertmorgan2425]

Kinda replacements / the real kids love it

[@kale.online]

If these guys ever broke up the world would lose a few volumes of thesaurus

[@ifwecouldvote]

DEVO!

[@AnUnbotheredQueen]

Neat, real neat

[@xAngelsOfHellx]

Ahhh, thought I was playing that chord wrong sweet

[@oblistr]

Nutty music! Nutty film editing! I'm having a seizure!

[@oblistr]

Nothing like a two guitar band. PC reminds me of Brian Jonestown Massacre because in the work of both you hear so much familiar music, yet it's new. This song has Television written all over it.

[@nijataghayev5863]

25.10.23 i came from Blacklist)

[@SolamenteVees]

This is like a Sonic Youth-Lee Renaldo song.

[@decanusgimmiethatharpboy319]

Sonic - thanks

I need a new pair of underwear now

[@JapCarRealGood]

I hate this part of the song 5:55

[@raystegman7433]

ok so Tom Verlaine and David Byrne had a baby

[@drewkatchen805]

I wonder if they like the Van Pelt/Chris Leo.

[@Ohverture]

Raymond sent me.

[@ambrosdetudor7918]

Is that D7???

[@LuisMedinaInformador]

VELVET UNDERGROUND

[@820south3]

I hear a Lou Reed influence...

[@Keke1462]

Anyone from The Blacklist?

[@BigH0b0]

Had high hopes for PC. First rock n roll band out of the US for 30 yrs. Alas they've gone all mature and crafted. Better when their stuff was hewn with hatchets. Merely good when they good have been great.

[@malone.j293]

BigH0b0 check out the new singles they've dropped from Wide Awake

Who else came here after watching the blacklist

What's "cogetu eggo sum"? Is that latin for "I'm a pretentious twat and couldn't figure out how to say cogito ergo sum"?

[@arch_dornan6066]

Accents my guy

[@NoOne-us9xv]

@@arch_dornan6066 Yeah accents don't account for that, my guy. Get a clue.

[@arch_dornan6066]

@@NoOne-us9xv My guy, it's a Latin phrase being pronounced in a Brooklyn accent, of course it's gonna sound different

[@NoOne-us9xv]

@@arch_dornan6066 My guy, you have no idea what the hell you're talking about, despite how confidently you believe otherwise. You don't get "cogetu" out of "cogito" with a Brooklyn accent. You just don't. That isn't how this shit works. I'm sorry the frontman of this band you love so much pronounced this shit like an idiot. The band is dog shit, btw. This song is legit noise pollution. I just want to be clear on that part.

[@arch_dornan6066]

@@NoOne-us9xv Okay, it's pronounced wrong. What music do you like if this is "noise pollution"?

[@clintongilson4672]

Somebody must have recorded that guy tuning his guitar and accidentally used that as the guitar solo at the end.

[@snapdragon9689]

I hear this song so many times at my job I'm so tired of it my ears can bleed I never hated a band or a song so much but I freaking hate this.who the hell just talks while they're playing guitar This isn't singing this isn't music The chords are the same throughout the whole damn song This is like brainwashing but worse

[@WVMothman]

I heard it at a Sheetz gas station.

[@breakfastmachine]

really don't get the hype around this group. like people have said, they sound like the talking heads... EXCEPT THE TALKING HEADS ALREADY SOUND LIKE THE TALKING HEADS. why anyone would listen to this when you can just listen to the talking heads is beyond me.

[@chrismacro2012]

breakfastmachine because it's new music. can't listen to talking heads forever.

[@chrismacro2012]

breakfastmachine could say the same thing about ancient music. there's nothing new under the sun. and everything is gonna sound like something else in some way anyway. should stop people from making music. also they don't really sound THAT much like talking heads. I hear alot of other Influences. it's like pavement doesn't make music anymore but if you show me a band that sounds like pavement and makes new music well fuck I'm gonna enjoy that shit lol

[@malone.j293]

breakfastmachine this is really one of the few songs on the album that really has a strong TH vibe (and it is very strong for sure). Other songs like the title track Human Performance, I Was Just Here, and Berlin Got Blurry feel like they pull from a lot of different places.

[@zakskorik4585]

Why are people comparing this band to the velvet underground? , for a start they can't write songs and are very boring. The v.u wrote some of the most heartfelt, intricate and interesting songs with top lyrics. Most unlike this surge,just awful.
