VIDEO: The Beets - For You

This was just too funny not to share it with you guys! I'm fairly new to The Beets and their music and am just listening to the songs on their Myspace. They're nothing special by any means, but are perfect for drinking to and generally kicking back. The bands Myspace says they Sound Like: "a trio of drunk, possibly retarded twelve year olds.  Seriously, my left tit probably outweighed the whole fucking band." This was taken from a fellow blogger's review of a live performance by the band, which you can read below. It's actually pretty funny too!

"The Beets -- Probably one of the worst bands I've ever seen, but how can you not root for a trio of drunk, possibly retarded twelve year olds.  Seriously, my left tit probably outweighed the whole fucking band.  The music was horrible, just generic garagey crap with the tone-deaf/grating/whiny vocals you've all come to know and hate from countless crappy NYC opening acts.  More of the same, and in heaping portions.  These guys would have gotten tiresome really quickly if they hadn't constantly sabotaged themselves with equipment malfunctions, broken guitar strings and straps, all the while inexplicably abandoning songs while in progress.  It's so rare that hipster crowds show any emotion at all, let alone joyously reveling in schadenfreude, but there were sarcastic catcalls of "you guys are awesome!" and flat-out uproarious laughter throughout the crowd.  I can't remember the last time that I've seen so many blank stares changed over to "what the fuck is this shit?!" rubbernecking within the course of just a few songs.  I'll definitely be seeing these guys again just so I can confirm that they are, in fact, this hilariously terrible.  Kudos boys!"

I actually just found The Beets album on Spotify! Listen here.
