he's an artist. he can change songs however he wishes. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 3
|
it was frustrating. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 5
|
I think the uninitiated enjoying the show says something though |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 4
|
it wasn't a bad show. it just could've been better. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 6
|
the answer to your og question is no checks and balances |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 7
|
this is sad to hear |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 8
|
those songs were all originally PUNK songs |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 9
|
^ this is what i wanted. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 10
|
oh ye, its to be expected im sure |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 11
|
wow. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 12
|
pretty much. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 14
|
cool. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 13
|
This is not a good look, imho |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 15
|
why are yall so late picking this up with van though? |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 16
|
well, I actually felt that way about him from jump |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 17
|
I've never understood this |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 30
|
|
there's the argument that the music isn't presented honestly. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 34
|
what's being "presented honestly" even mean? |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 36
|
Milli Vanilli is an extreme example... |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 37
|
To be honest, when the Milli Vanilli thing popped off |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 38
|
It had no impact on me either |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 41
|
Also, I should say I'm not mad at any artist |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 42
|
But what if this is who he is? |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 45
|
There's nothing wrong with that per se |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 54
|
It all comes out in the wash |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 60
|
he has always sounded more 80's pop/rnb than 70's soul though |
|
Jan 28th 2012 | 118
|
It's not a matter of worrying about the intentions |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 35
|
How does something sound dishonest? |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 40
|
LOL how am I supposed to explain that to you? |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 48
|
Which goes right back to expectations |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 57
|
Seriously, I don't want to go deep into the Chromeo thing |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 58
|
In fairness it wasn't just you |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 62
|
LOL you're not alone, man. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 63
|
Now I don't feel so bad |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 64
|
I concur. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 65
|
let me just add one last thing |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 66
|
And I'll say one last thing also: |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 67
|
Worded like that I can see your point |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 72
|
this post makes me want to spin another |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 47
|
You know what I'm saying? |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 55
|
pls |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 59
|
don't think I saw that... I'll go check it. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 61
|
I agree with this. |
|

RE: why are yall so late picking this up with van though? |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 18
|
i liked the 1st 3. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 22
|
Oh, okay. This explains why you felt like you did lol !!! |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 88
|
based on what i've heard from him i figured he was going the other way. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 20
|
This is how most people described Jungle Floor, if I recall. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 26
|
the description felt 'unfair', but it was the best i could come up with. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 27
|
he's a tad bit inconsistent though |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 24
|
he and/or the label sold him as a dude who grew up w/a pimp daddy |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 19
|
but since then... i don't know i've taken it as *him* |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 21
|
i'm not sure what you mean. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 23
|
just that I thought he was past the "is he being honest" phase |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 29
|
ah. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 31
|
"Popular" & the new one at least SEEM his most honest |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 39
|
Popular and What You Were Hoping For, seem like very honest.. |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 89
|
yeah... and he still defended the pimp daddy thing later |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 25
|
it's not just that HE doesn't have an identity, |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 28
|
I agree with this part... |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 33
|
I actually laughed that off, when he backtracked on that. I basically... |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 90
|
well, if we were to take the man at his word |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 43
|

|
Oct 10th 2011 | 44
|

|
Oct 10th 2011 | 51

|
Oct 10th 2011 | 53
|

RE: well, if we were to take the man at his word |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 77
|

|
Oct 10th 2011 | 68
|
that's me. |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 69
|
the album is cool........but |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 70
|

|
Oct 10th 2011 | 71
|
my favorite Van Hunt songs are: |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 74
|
Same here |
|
Oct 10th 2011 | 73
|
If we took Van at his best |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 80
|
Van Hack is Wack and Never Rated |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 75
|
yes, we know you don't like him b/c he has no radio hits. |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 76
|

|
Oct 11th 2011 | 81

|
Oct 12th 2011 | 95
|
He has a solid following.... |
|
Oct 11th 2011 | 85
|
record company told him once to call Kellz |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 96
|
you obviously care about "hits" ...I don't |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 99
|
ok Bru, lets remember Van Hunt got 2 grammys he cares too |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 105
|
*dead* |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 106
|
if Van's primary goal was mainstream airplay...he'd release |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 107

|
Oct 11th 2011 | 94
|
This is what happens when your core audience |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 98
|
not sure what Van's core likes about him could be called "packaged" |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 100

I dug his live performances from the first album way more than |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 102
|
i thought maybe he wasn't really dealing with the crowd, but as i saw |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 109
|
This makes me wish I had seen his show. |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 103
|
Empress Hotel opened for him here too. |
|
Oct 12th 2011 | 104

How ironic, they got a good response, especially from the hippie |

Oct 12th 2011 | 108
