I owe a debt of “gratitude” to lurking Townsman Great 48 for introducing me to this video. He said all kinds of mean things about it when he brought it to my attention, but I know we can do better. I think it’s time we focused our positivity together — there’s been far too much snark around here lately. So remember: if you can’t say anything nice about “Puff Puff Give” by Hannah’s Field… don’t say anything at all.
By the way: extra points for saying something nice about the trustafarian playing the drum.
I look forward to your nice responses.

Trustafarian’s Oregonic sweatshirt sends a positive message.
Gosh, Trustafarian looks like he could be a masquerading Jemain Clement from Flight of the Conchords. I feel better already.
Uh… the tempo seems pretty good. Coming through my crappy laptop speakers it seems to be fairly well recorded.
I only watched the first 90 seconds, do I have to watch the whole thing?
I like waterfalls.
I think “Hannah” would look pretty cute in jeans and a sweatshirt.
Trustafarian has a brief sequence where he’s playing, like, 50 dumbeks in a room, which shows he’s got a sort of Peter Criss-like zest for drum theatrics. That’s not such a bad thing.
They do seem to practice what they preach — they do puff and give in this video.
Masterful use of a Bic lighter at the 1:20 mark. Also we can all be thankful they didn’t drag this song out to the 4:20!
Umm. Well, the video reminded me of college, which is generally a fond memory, even though there were a lot of annoying people like the ones in the video around, with their dumbass Bob Marley posters and faux-rasta affectations. I hated them. But college was nice, nonetheless.
Misterioso’s comment reminds me of a Dennis Miller bit where he notes that one of the problems with smoking pot is the people you have to hang out with when you’re smoking.
Not that I would know… Ok, not that I remember, anyway. 🙂
One of the guys is wearing a Peter Tosh – Equal Rights t shirt. I like that album.
The artistic idiom of music has given me a great deal of pleasure in my lifetime.
This is the whitest thing I’ve seen since I spent some time trolling youtube, trying to deconstruct the Dave Matthews Band’s bass player.
Come on, now, eh… be nice!
I can’t.
