  • We took Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein - the stars of IFC's "Portlandia" - to one of the world's greatest drum shops and had them face off and wax poetic about rhythm. Fred gave some lessons on the history of the drum, and they're totally 100% definitely absolutely not made-up, probably.

    I like how this is basically a naturally occurring episode of Portlandia. Their stoic humor bounces so easily between them. they're more talented than they know. fkin LOVE fred and carrie to death

    Dude! Every time we would ship drums from the store the online shipping websites would ask "do you mean 'drugs'? Your order can't be shipped because it's too close to 'drugs'." Fred must have come across that too!

  • @DragonFlopp
    @DragonFlopp Před 8 lety +3

    I got to meet my favorite band last year, even though it was just a photo opportunity, but still, it was cool and I didn't really freak out or anything being near them. However, I think I would get jittery and nervous if I ever met Carrie... which I do want, very dearly. But I would be a little like, "This isn't happening, this isn't happening!"

  • @mrc6032
    @mrc6032 Před 5 lety +2

    Fred Armisen is always hilarious to me. All time favorite personality, writer, comedian of mine. Ive paid attention to him for years, and he is a talented musician. It must be in his blood. And i learned something new! He is from Cuban lineage. I can see that. Cubans are on par if not a step up from other Latin countries. Now it all makes sense, lol. I watch Portlandia regularly. I crack up at his comedy. It's on par with Norm MacDonald, another all time genius comic/writer. Also i like the dynamic between Carrie and Fred.
    Are they an actual couple? She accentuates Fred very well. Cheers!

    • @CoolFellaProductions
      @CoolFellaProductions Před 4 lety +3

      Lol, he's not actually Cuban, that was a joke. He's actually Venezuelan. I watched an interview he did in Spanish and because I speak a little I understood that he was from Venezuela.
      No they are not a real couple. But they are very good friends :)

    I heard of Carrie's band way before I ever hear of the show. Great music on Portlandia, the little bits and pieces make you feel like you've hear the songs before somewhere even though they don't exist. ps Carrie's character is a murderer and eeeverybody missed it, lol

    Lungfish! Dude i fell asleep on the stage at a Lungfish show no kidding or exaggerating. I have listened to pop punk and skate punk since 85 with the Descendents, Bad Religion, NOFX, Fifteen, Crimpshrine etc so that was the music i listened to but a buddy of mine was a big emo fan (90's emo to be exact not to be confused with this garbage they call emo nowadays) and he invited me to see Lungfish(never heard of them before) at EMO'S in Austin TX so i said cool I'll go because I went to Austin all the time for shows (i live in San Antonio Texas about 1hr away). I listened to some emo bands like Hot Water Music, The Get Up Kids, and The Promise Ring but they were still a little upbeat compared to the slow emo stuff my buddy liked so when Lungfish started playing I was like dude this is toooooo sloooooow, i would always stand up front against the stage at shows and this time it wasn't a good idea because i got stuck up there and fell asleep with my head resting on the stage!

  • @klausrain111
    @klausrain111 Před 9 lety +2

    S "EV" whatever your name is: I've heard of these people, and this is hilariously droll humor here; funny, amusing or clever. I think you don't get it, maybe? Yeah, I'm gettin that, real strong in my 3rd eye over here.

    • @sjc8012
      @sjc8012 Před 9 lety +1

      Richie B Apparently our definitions of droll are very different. Comedy is subjective. That said, I can't imagine how anyone can fit this droll or funny. That's all I was saying. You are into these people, then good for you. I don't find this funny or entertaining. I'm not trying to talk you out of enjoying it; not sure why you have to make this some deficiency on my part because I don't. Maybe you need to wipe the crap out of that "third eye."

    • @klausrain111
      @klausrain111 Před 9 lety

      Well, EV - All I said was you don't get it. It's not a deficiency on your part, and I didn't say it was, you did. My third eye is clear enough, thanks, clear enough to get this humor. Know what? I don't get the Dead. Not a deficiency, that. Of course, the downside of the type of humor in Portlandia is that some people are labeled unhip if they don't like it, which is unfortunate, and makes one feel left out of the smart kids club. Too bad about that.

    • @somekid7

      Jeez man. You're as passive aggressive as some of the characters on Portlandia. If you're gonna belittle someone by saying that they "don't get it" then stick with that. Don't go pretending you're the good guy.
