i'm sure most of you hate him, but i stumbled upon one of his cds that i picked up back in 06
never got into it so i thought i'd give it another chance

kinda liked it...
a lot.

Some of his stuff is alright. I could never fully appreciate him because I always feel the need to put on one of my Tyrannosaurus Rex albums instead when I listen to him.

Arsewitted hippy tosh. For a decent (doomy?) take on modern folk, check out Alexander Tucker - he much more like it.

He has a couple of good songs and the rest I can't bear. This kooky persona that he created for himself strikes me as a pose.

Michael Gira should have bludgeoned the cnut to death with his own guitar instead of giving him a record contract.

I like his work up until his last album which is sub-par.

he is one of my look a likes

he's ok, i'm not that bothered one way or another, music can certainly be a lot worse than his though.

never heard it. the wrong people kept telling me it was good.

he is the most annoying person i have even seen take a stage, and his lyrics are the stupidest things ever.

his vocals remind me of an exaggerated David Cross singing

rejoicing in the hands and niño rojo are good, cripple crow is boring, pretentious and too fucking long. smokey fruit rolls or whatever it was called was good considering gael garcia bernal sings on it, making it an ok to bad album.

i give him credit for getting me into folk, after so much stuff i had heard and just couldn't get into.

not too bothered about him, never seen him live and probably seen like two pics of him in my life.

i saw him live when my ex girlfriend dragged me to go see him, shes obsessed with him and was acting like a 12 year old at a justin timberlake concert, "oh devandra i love you, youre beutiful, blah blah", needless to say, the relationship didnt last too long thereafter.

he lives in Topanga Canyon, lucky bastard.

whenever I see him I just think he needs to take a bath. If his name had been John Brown no one would have given a fuck.

he's a lot younger than i thought he was.

he usually looks really dirty and i can't stop looking at his strange tattoo's.

But this photo is TOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!! :)

fuck the "folk" shit-eaters

yeah he was only like 19 or 20 or somethin in that range when gira spotted him. im really surprised that gira endorses all these lame "freak folk" acts like akron family (who arent completley awful, but by no means great or even that good) and devandra.

regardless of the fact that i do like some folk i don't really understand why anyone would want to play it
