my guitar player uses a jcm800

shit rips

5/19/2010 5:04:09 AM

One of the guys I used to play with used a jcm900. They do, indeed, rip.

The other guy that played with us had a dual rectifier.

Shit got loud.

Holy shit, I bet.

Mogwai blew my fucking mind when I saw them.



Since this is likely the only place to discuss this, how fucking rad is Sleep's Dopesmoker?

Quote :

"The success of Sleep’s Holy Mountain landed Sleep a contract with a larger record company, who paid up front for Sleep’s next record. As the story goes, Sleep went out and spent all the money on Orange amplifiers and marijuana (although this is denied by the band), then went on to record what is easily one of both stoner rock and doom metal’s defining moments; the 1 hour long Dopesmoker."

Awesome.

I am really digging me some Russian Circles.

5/24/2010 2:45:58 PM

had an Explosions in the Sky morning playing through their studio discography. had to put something else on this afternoon so i wouldn't zone out.

gifts from enola has a new s/t album, just fired it up now and so far it's off to a good start.

6/30/2010 3:56:25 PM

bttt...been falling asleep to caspian for the past few months

7/28/2010 1:45:05 PM

^ Caspian is great, agreed.

Anyone going to Russian Circles tonight?

8/2/2010 11:53:31 AM

^as usual, I would if I still lived there. :/

anyone listen to yndi halda?

8/2/2010 11:55:59 AM

saw goodbye, titan and the bronzed chorus at sadlack's on friday

good times

8/2/2010 12:58:44 PM

^^ I've got Enjoy Eternal Bliss which is fantastic. If they have other albums I need to acquire them.

8/2/2010 2:27:30 PM

^ That is all I have as well. Apparently they have some older EP too but the few opinions I've seen weren't as favorable.

For some reason they remind me that I need to go get some stuff from Rachel's. I used to listen to them back in HS and basically totally forgot about them until recently. I think I had the albums The Sea and the Bells and Systems/Layers.

8/2/2010 2:39:41 PM

man fuck me - been waiting for this show for a month at least:

MON, AUG 2
Boris
SAADE
Russian Circles*
*Due to unforeseen circumstances, Russian Circles will not be able to play

8/2/2010 2:53:43 PM

yea they had an accident in LA over the weekend. I thought they made it to the GA date yesterday though so I figured they might make it to NC too but maybe none of that ended up working out.

8/2/2010 2:55:48 PM

^^ Oh goodness. I was considering this show

8/2/2010 3:18:34 PM

anyone listen to moving mountains? a little more on the pop side and with vocals, but still awesome. loved their full length and the ep has really grown on me of late...amazing

8/26/2010 5:57:39 AM

local band local beer tonight will be post-rock flavored

9:30pm free as always tir na nog

goodbye, titan
once and future kings

8/26/2010 12:29:17 PM

moving mountains pre-order up for the new album (may 10). haven't been this excited for a new album in quite some time

I don't even give a fuck if anyone cares:
I went to DC on Sunday to see Godspeed at the 9:30 Club.
For years I was convinced it would never happen, but I actually saw GYBE. I am not even sure it has 100% sunk in yet.

Holy. Shit.

3/23/2011 1:35:45 AM

i saw gybe at the cradle in 03. i think i prefer silver mt zion. though both are great.

Explosions In the Sky 4/3 in Charlotte! Too bad their new album =

I love the genre...but with about 50-60 different artists on my computer I'm finding it *really* tough to continually find anything really good and wonder where the genre can actually go. My rotation as of late...

Ef - Give Me Beauty...Or Give Me Death
The Evpatoria Report - Maar
...and Stars Collide - s/t
Joy Wants Eternity - You Who Pretend To Sleep

^the new EitS has really grown on me. Nothing on it really blows me away, but it's slowly getting better with each repeat.

3/24/2011 10:05:32 AM

Amazing.


Also, This Will Destroy You's new album Tunnel Blanket is VERY good. Different from other stuff they've done, it honestly sounds like they listened to a shitload of Godspeed and then recorded an album.
Live video of them performing at SXSW.

cannot wait for the new TWDY album

3/24/2011 10:41:21 PM

It leaked yesterday on what.

I've been listening to it all day.

3/24/2011 11:09:00 PM

^ Whaaaaa??? I've been waiting for that for ages. ty.

[Edited on March 25, 2011 at 8:36 AM. Reason : d]

3/25/2011 8:36:14 AM

^ agreed

3/25/2011 9:52:51 AM

agree with the godspeed reference. tunnel blanket is better than some of the "higher profile" post-rock release this year (EITS, mogwai, etc.).

3/27/2011 2:53:22 PM

That's tough. The Mogwai album is one of my favorites this year, and I'm really really liking EITS, but I haven't been able to stop listening to Tunnel Blanket.

3/28/2011 1:14:12 AM

listening to the latest SXSW All Songs Considered podcast and they just played a pretty great song by a band I'd never heard before, The Calm Blue Sea

anybody a fan?

3/28/2011 1:38:19 AM

that Rano Pano song on the new Mogwai is one of my favorites of the year

3/28/2011 10:48:55 AM

i heard someone say once that PIL was the first true post-rock band.
i don't know if that is true, but i love this song:

Listening to TWDY's new one for the first time around, and while a good change of pace it seems like it's all over the map.

Communal Blood sounds like it was straight off of Lift Your Skinny Fists..., Glass Realms had me thinking I was listening to a Gas or Stars Of the Lid record, and the opener sounded like a slightly more mellow version of Pelican.

I like the way they're headed on this one (I.E. away from the stupid damn drum machine samples that they had in their last work), but I think this could be a lot better if it felt more like an album to me rather than a collection of songs. Not a requirement for me from all bands, but if I'm putting on post-rock I like to feel like for there to be that much disparity in the sound.

I often wonder if there are any women in the entire world that listen to or participate in post rock.
