Sleepytime Gorilla Museum?

ok hahaha one of the top results for a "radiation 4" search is some french hip hop collective, which made me think they had crossed the line of too quirky, but i stand corrected.

The radiation 4 stuff is more secret chiefs/bungley to me than SGMish tho

ok given that there are dudes selling the radiation 4 on amazon for like 50 cents, i think i should probably just go ahead and pick a copy up

I like what I've heard of this band but I mix them up with Dreamboat Gorilla.

Which is confusing.

hymn to the morning star is beautiful and yeah DHOAM becomes even better in its wake

i went to their first show where humans were admitted.

Can't get over how good "The Companions" is

like...it's absolutely stone godlike by now

I went to their first show where woodland creatures and elves were admitted

you're definitely my second-favourite satyr posting to ILX, after hanle.y

awww

I bought the album with "Phthisis" on it

fucking stellar

That's my favorite album of theirs.

am finding JJ's recommendations to be pretty much 100% storming

This fucking song

dont think i mentioned this on thread yet but they are also like the nicest dudes ever

at the last show nils the main dude recognized me and K and talked to me for a while about how it was cool that we were still together and when i told him that we were engaged came back and talked about how awesome having a kid was and then gave me a onesie they were carting around that says "nappytime gorilla museum".

i think i will start a self-serving jj and lj swap musical youtubes for you to enjoy thread maybe because it is thursday and i am teh drunk

wait what time is it in merry olde england anyway

oops

LJ and JJ swapmoosical youtbes thread - you can play too!

well it was fun while it lasted. done after 3 west coast shows this spring. although they apparently have one more album and a movie(?) in them.

oh and also a live dvd pieced together from the last 6 years which is good news indeed

excellent, but also sad. truly one of my favourite bands of all time. and I never got to see them play. bah.

tempted to go to their last public show as I was at their first show at which humans were allowed.

I kinda got the feeling from the last Faun Fables gig I saw that this was going to happen, oh well. Now I get to look forward to another Carla Kihlstedht album!

Aw this is sad news. At least there is one more album!

can't shake the feeling it won't be the same without carla but am interested

wouldn't expect it to be the same, but speaking of carla rabbit rabbit is doing good work, though i'm not on their gofundme or whatever so i don't keep up with them from month to month.

Revive...?

Looks like a reunion is in the works. From their Kickstarter page launched about a week ago:

We, the John Kane Society, in partnership with the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and associated acts, trusting in the stalwart spirit of mutual aid and emboldened by YOUR TUMESCENT ENTHUSIASM, have launched this Kickstarter on behalf of the Museum's imminent GRAND 2024 REOPENING.

It's time for SGM to BRING BACK THE APOCALYPSE just when the world needs it most! Namely, with a full-length studio album, a short film, select live appearances, and, once we meet our STRETCH GOAL of 100K...

A NATIONWIDE U.S. TOUR?!

"enthusiasm" was never a word i associated with "tumescence" tbh.

hope they can get it back together again, though, would love to see them live again

The Kickstarter hit the stretch goal of $100k, so it looks like a tour will be forthcoming.

Here's a two-part interview with Nils and Carla on the Make Weird Music YouTube channel:

"your tumescent enthusiasm" has to be one of the most hilariously apt freudian slips for this kind of shit

relistened to In Glorious Times just now. fuck it's a masterpiece

there's another SGM thread on here which has some of the most truly moronic posts I've seen on ILM. 'this isn't original or good, try Frank Zappa.' how about you go away

now to have a look at those interviews and get excited about the reunion

"your tumescent enthusiasm" has to be one of the most hilariously apt freudian slips for this kind of shit

― budo jeru

freudian slips are accidental... frykdahl's language usage is quite intentional, i've found.

new single sounds awesome. Serious Magma energy, especially on the bass. Wanted to pre-order the CD but it appears to be sold out already? Weird.

pretty great so far

i saw them last saturday, really good to see them again. i'm getting old, i nodded off during "sleep is wrong". not sure if that's based or cringe. also kayo dot opened for them, which i didn't know until i went home and looked up who that opening act was. they were ok, the sound mixing wasn't so great. the last song of theirs, which they said was one of their new ones, had this pretty cool "sheets of easter" feel to it, pretty long and cool.

i nodded off during "sleep is wrong"

this is obv classic

oh yeah, we say "classic" and "dud" here instead of "based" and "cringe", people accuse me of corrupting the youth of athens but the truth is that it's the other way around
