There's actually something eerie of having followed music for long enough to see that song rise to prominence and now having its impact splash out into areas that surely could never have been comprehended. I'm still convinced that every song that seems to use this same sort of staccato percussion line (ie the one in the verses) is directly or indirectly influenced by Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks". Regurgitating something that's already been said by thousands upon thousands of people with the impression that it makes you seem edgy, nothing brave about that, but certainly plenty stupid.Īnyway, I don't have any negativity to add to the picture as I enjoy this tune.

For example, if you were to say The Beatles, Nirvana, Ke$ha, Queen, The Smiths, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Arcade Fire, The Velvet Underground, One Direction, Beyonce, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, Rihanna, The Doors, Soulja Boy, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Eminem, Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Nas, OutKast, or whoever the next artist popular among really no particular circle is overrated/awful/whatever with no real attempt at justifying and making yourself seem perfectly rational, you're certainly not being brave. There's the old phrase that bravery is synonymous with stupidity.
