Stoned & Starving by Parquet Courts

made this video for stoned and starving, not official

[@parhelio___]

People of the future will come to this comment section to talk about how they were born in the wrong generation and about how much they wish they would have seen Parquet Courts live.

Many can relate. I, for one, was stoned and starving just last night. Ate an entire cherry pie

I can't get over how perfect the video is for the song

[@dos9167]

Fact: This was recorded on my uncle's piece of shit panasonic VHS camcorder from 1986. The tape used was an old Polaroid VHS that was used everyweek to record Falcon's Crest and Dallas for my grandma but I always taped over them to record Magnum P.I. and NBC's Friday Night Videos.

I usually tell people that “I don’t have a favorite of anything.” I don’t have a favorite type of food, movie, type of woman etc. HOWEVER, this is probably one of the favorite songs.

[@allysaurus96]

As someone who's impossibly indecisive, I feel this 😂

[@clownnookie]

I love when the tambourine drops. It's the simple things, folks.

[@troy8420]

I have never noticed that tambourine wow thank you, always amazing when you find something small in a song you've heard a thousand times

Great juxtaposition early in the video, I think this is a really well thought out piece to a great song. I will revisit it from time to time and study on it as I do, Thanks and keep em' comin'.

That main riff sounds quite a bit like a part of main riff from 1880 or So by Television

[@kludgybrains3459]

only in that it swings similarly. different keys and notes

If you ever wanted to know what the Velvets would be like if they had Jonathan RIchman on vox, here is your answer! This song should also be the anthem of SF's Mission District! I can't say enough god things about this track!

[@matrocious]

then better realization with the lyrics in mind detail how someone is scouring the web and such for something desirable but, i guess they all seemed pretty good, suitable at best, male was the designation for sex and when has anyone turned away a carrier, they might have the goods, they might not - scratch the silver ink, which could be six on iphone or hardwares inside of machines, the ones you can't seemingly fix, constantly calling, someone said "sex is a weapon" and apparently now more easily in the hands of those needing nothing less

My mate saw them in Melbourne Australia a couple of years ago. Said they were great but did not play Stoned and Starving. disappointed. That song was the only reason the guys were touring. Seems like musical snobbery to me. However, liking the new material

[@RazSkull673]

All of you hating on a simple and fun rock band have no love for live music and bars. This band is great with a few drinks and some great company. Not everything has to be pop, rap, or electronica to be cool and those that don't understand this music are missing out on the talent it takes for rythm, guitars and drums. If you are so good at music you'd be making it instead of being a critic of anything different. I seriously weep for the drones of idiots that only listen to ONE KIND of music such as rap, Lady gagme, and lip syncing bullshit like Katy Perry etc.
