Finally, a thread delivers the high promises of its title.

SMANG IT! 🚙

* Except it should be a "Smanger" of a hit

I'm having a "time is a flat circle" moment.

This is the first time I've ever seen this and I feel like I'm watching a modern, totally relevant, not-even-really-a-joke, meme song that could've come out this morning.

classic. he comes off pretty humble and real in the tweet. wouldn't have expected that, given the inscrutable humor of the music videos

I knew what this was before opening!

Still sad I missed them playing with Of Montreal year ago... Would've been an amazing night!

Followed TQJ pretty heavily in college, but fell of when Humma drifted away, truly the heart of the group.

It's pretty notable how stagnant culture has been since like 2005. Comparing that to like 1955-1970 is pretty stark

Really? You're going to post about Turquoise Jeep on ERA and not even include Crotch Rock That Girl?!

not really sure what you're getting at -- do you know Flynt Flossy personally?

I've met him a few times, yes. I'm not sure why my point missed, all I'm saying is it's weird to not seperate art from artist and to pre-judge people based on other people's idiosyncracies. Didn't know that was so controversial.

People need to know this is a Turquoise Jeep thread, I would have been here sooner.

Enjoying Sex Syrup and Smang It (in whatever way) are indicators of a person worth knowing.

Can't believe it's been a decade of TQJ and Little Big Planet. They put on a good live show, saw them while they were all in the crew.

Eh, they had a little something with fried or fertilized, go grab my belt, et al, but it was way too nerdy for me.

I'm going to indulge your apparent pedantic qualities -- part of the reason the videos were widely circulated was their surreal nature. People seemed to be unsure whether they were jokes/some sort of satire/completely serious/some combination. I am sure some people now claim to unironically like their music videos.

Regardless, I've only ever seen Flynt Flossy wearing what appears to be a fake, Groucho Marx mustache and sunglasses. Most artists that I'm familiar with that operate in that somewhat inscrutable mode, tend to be mysterious and vague -- usually saying things like, "it is what it is," in relation to their work. All I was saying is that I'm surprised that his tweet regarding the 10th anniversary sounded so down to earth. To clarify, the low budget aesthetics of the videos always came off as completely intentional and not the result of financial constraints to me.

Is it controversial for me to be surprised that he was so forthcoming, when it was the mystery that initially drew so many people to Turquoise Jeep's music? Was it necessary for you to naively assume that I can't, "seperate the art from the artist?"

Unrelated, but you have been consistently misspelling, "separate."

Yo that Moon Rock collabo is FIRE!! Instant classic. These guys have some of the best songs. I can listen to their music and just be timeless for me.
