I've become infatuated with the music of Paul Baribeau lately and I am wondering why I think it is good, I don't think he is all that good of a singer and his guitar is nothing special but I just love it so much, What are your opinions /mu/

>help me make sure that I fit in
It's funny how you people make fun of "normies"...

I don't need your validation, Just genuinely interested why I like a musician that I believe to be bad at singing and instruments
you like it, thats it. You dont have to be ashamed about it. You know why you like it, we will not tell you why you like it or why you like anything at all.
In a sense paul baribeu has these inoccent songs, so sweet and free and down to earth. Yes his singing is really bad and so are his musical skills in general...but he creates an atmosphere, he expresses something genuine.
This is a blast from the past. He was always a dick when I'd see him live.

The thing is that I don't really know why I like it, That's why I was looking for reasons why. I guess he is very innocent, It just makes me smile and feel good, Even his sadder songs are uplifting.

I want to see him really bad, Was hoping he'd have a show in MI in a the next month. (i'm going there and live in aus so it's probs the only chance I'd get)
A dick? as in like an asshole?
I am sad now...
i've always wondered why i liked paul baribeau so much too. I think it has something to do with the immediacy of the songs. There's not many choruses on many of the songs. Just a series of verses and that keeps it fresh i think.

he seems a little neurotic. i saw him at the Fest in gainesville one year and he was rambling semi-coherently about some of the other bands there that he had beef with or something
I feel his style is more like slam poetry than actual music
He's great OP don't feel bad
check out Daniel Johnston, Ezra Furman, and Kimya Dawson if you want
