@achewood I got mad about Robert Fripp's "music" again. I need to go to bed.

I never said that I disliked it.

That, and the synth sound of a dog barking.  Good stuff.

I had somehow come across Freezepop previous to this. But as then, I am just too scared to make the click.
Zartan's comments also lead me to believe my gut reaction upon first sight.

I don't know what people expected from a song about an alive stuffed animal, but I liked it, in the way that I like neat things that do not necessarily have any serious artistic merit anyway.

I was thinking the same thing, new avatar notwithstanding.

Yeah, dude.  You say you're going to kill yourself because we don't like your web comic, and then, like, you're still here.

I cannot stand Freezepop. I had a friend of mine let me borrow one of their albums - all right, more correctly, I downloaded it. Here's what I thought of it:

It is the most soulless, inauthentic, by-the-numbers attempt at alt.culture bandwagoneering I've seen sashay down the fuck*ng runway in a long goddamn time. It may seem a bit weird to damn a band in this "genre" (i.e. electric pop by and for temporarily fickle trust fund kids) for being soulless, but my stars. If only I'd seen the pattern sooner, I could have been Freezepop:

- Find a chick to be the "face" of your synthpop band. She will talk, sounding bored-as-you-please (but with a touch, of course, of just-beneath-the-surface grrrrrrrlish enthusiasm - OMG MAYBE SHE LURKS OUR FANSITE MESSAGE BOARD), and sing tunelessly over...

- Music that is more or less the worst of Overclocked Remix, circa 1999: carnival music for the attention deficit generation made with an unofficial plugin for fuck*ng Nesticle.

- And don't forget to tap, tap, tap that word-of-mouth market! You'll do this by dropping in a careful balance of common pop music themes and geek / alt / meta-indie references. Did that chick just say grep?? In a LURRVE METAPHOR???? She may have, and won't you look smart for being the first one to have noticed / appreciated / shelled out for it. Can YOU think of an 80's pop culture touchpoint that hasn't been made into a meme??? HOUSTON WE ARE GO FOR OUR NEXT SINGLE -- ON VINYL!!


AMEN. Look, I run a club night that specializes in electroclash and the like, and Freezepop is what I would term the 'cleopatra records' of the genre. Those in the know what I'm talking about. Maybe they even -are- on Cleopatra...

where I heard of Freezepop

Freezepop did one of the first level songs (Science Genius Girl) for Sony's Frequency game for PS2.  For the Frequency sequel Amplitude, Freezepop added a song called Super Sprode. That and I think Penny Arcade dropped their name once too.

Thank you for that update.

Okay, so I like "Science Genius Girl." I am nonetheless reluctance to actually buy an album, because what happens if I like Freezepop? There goes all my hard-won indie cred!*

Also, I'm not sure I can entirely like any band which sells katakana T-shirts. Hot Topic, much?
