Bradford Cox Questions Chris Cornell's Yarbler Status
I'm a pretty hip guy: I go on the internet, I read, I listen to music. Despite this, I just can't seem to keep up with the modern vernacular. Case in point: music blog/website/amorphous thing Merry Swankster have this story up featuring a clip of Deerhunter's Bradford Cox asking the audience at a Spoon show whether or not Chris Cornell is a yarbler. Well, I'd love to join in, but I just don't know what that is. Still, it's probably a yes. Probably. Oh, and he also rips at a heckler at the end.

This article, written by producer/musician/grunge commentator Jack Endino, will help clear up any confusion about what exactly Bradford means by "yarbler":

Well this is what the Urban Dictionary describes a yablar as, "Deep mumbling baritone style of vocalists popular with early to mid-1990s singers in Modern Rock music. Though Eddie Vedder is often the most referenced example of a pure yarbler, many lesser singers of lesser bands have mimicked his yarbling to comically terrible results. Best example of this is Creed's Scott Stapp.
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder is the standard bearer of yarblers, others include Lane Stanley of Alice In Chains, arguably Chris Cornell of Soundgarden fame."
