When his song came on Glee last night, I got to smugly turn to my wife and tell her that me and the other RPeeps have been listening to this guy for years. I get to have my hipster moment once a month...



Hipster moment? Sounds more like you were having a SENIOR MOMENT! Am I right?
But I kid.

Curiously people in my village only finally took notice when he graciously accepted numerous awards nationally achieved mainly by overseas sales...................    {#Frustrated}

This feels like a DepecheMode reboot, much as ThEditors is a JoyDivision revisit - a cyclical reimagining of bands that can't, for whatever reason, be who they were; thing is, maybe bands whose music died should never be Lazarused like this.

I was about to write "what a cheap Gotye rip-off!!" when I read, it's actually him {#Doh} Voice sounds different, though

..saw him 12oct..really good show, Lots of percussion..the older stuff he played had a real feel-good 70s vibe..not a top-5 concert or anything, but i like him better after the live show..

this song has a great beat n Vibe that rolls along with it.

Maybe consider an Original reMix by The DJ..?

Somebody that I used to know is a great one of the album.
But the whole album is just impressively good.
I listen to it in loops for months...

Bought the CD for the obvious reason...for "Somebody That I Used to Know". Took a while for the rest of the album to grow on me. But there are indeed a couple throwaway's, this not being one of them though...imho.

Didn't take much for me to acquire it. I've loved "Heart's a Mess" since first listen ( a somewhat serious song). Same for "Somebody that I Used to Know" which is great fun (a somewhat tongue-in-cheek song).  

I'm looking forward to  more from this talented guy.

Sorry guys but this can't be a 2012 album because I copied it off my Mum in December last year.  Perhaps the 2012 release was a US release date?

I love the creative talent of Gotye, and his willingness to go OVER the edge.

I'm shocked that it made it to (yawn) KFOG. I like this song, it's kind of spooky & cool.

Check out this version of Que Sera Sera to get that freaky carnival sound.  Awesome.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVbrycPKXZQ

Saw him on one of the late night shows last week.  Was interesting.  Not really sure what I think about him.  Kind of like I feel about Beck.  Some good stuff some tripe.
