A friend of mine is involved with a hilarious group at NYU, and I’m a huge fan of their latest song, “Spr Pkn (Super Poke)”. It makes a statement about Facebook and its culture, but really, it’s just super well done.

Well, honestly, aren’t there more important goings-on at NYU that we should be talking about? (Like the TBNYU protest and the University’s reaction?)
As for the song, it’s mildly entertaining and somewhat creative, but the lyrics were too repetitive, the singing was mediocre, and the musical score… *shudder*. 4 piano notes and a stereotypical R&B rhythm aren’t very memorable.
On the contrary Michael, The Village Vipers may be one of the most ironic and culturally significant musical acts of our time. They definitely deserve to get recognized and praised. Also, are you really qualified to be judging other people’s singing abilities?
As for NYU’s reaction to Take Back NYU!, there was none, so there is nothing to talk about.
‘On the contrary Michael, The Village Vipers may be one of the most ironic and culturally significant musical acts of our time.’ -I doubt it. I had not heard of them until now, and I seriously doubt many others outside NYU have. I’ll ask around. ‘Cultural significance,’ in my mind, equals recognizability.
‘They definitely deserve to get recognized and praised.’ – That is a subjective statement.
‘Also, are you really qualified to be judging other people’s singing abilities?’ – Yes.
‘As for NYU’s reaction to Take Back NYU!, there was none, so there is nothing to talk about.’ Sicking local police on its own student body? That’s certainly something to talk about in my book. Also, I’m worried about this: http://takebacknyu.com/2009/03/11/nyu-cracks-down-on-imaginary-protests/
I GO TO NYU AND WAS AT THE PROTEST. TRUST ME, I KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THAN YOU DO.
Listen, Michael. I would say, “Let’s hear some of your music”. But I don’t need to; because you sound like an asshole.
Even if you were supposedly “qualified”, a legitimate artist wouldn’t be picking on a bunch of NYU freshmen.
Oh. Namecalling. Real mature. What’s wrong, can’t take even a little bit of real criticism? I’ll reiterate: repetitive lyrics, uncreative score, mediocre singing.
I think you’re just a bully. Listen to the lyrics and laugh. You may need one.
As a side note, “namecalling” would be more like “assface”. Asshole is more of description.
I think you should lighten up, because this guy just wanted to post his friend’s funny music on a blog. I don’t believe this to be a Pitchfork review knitting circle.
Calm down, friends. It’s just the Internet.
This is getting intense. The Village Vipers are simply a band put together to pass the time. The members are in no way serious about what they say and do not expect to be a life-changing band that will make an impact on anyone.
That being said, Michael, drink some tea and calm down, you take life WAY to seriously. And I just don’t like you.
