Sun City Girls: classic or dud?

Looks like he's referring to two different bands here?

He is, I just liked the line.

Well then Mr. Raggett.

figured the "electric tribal" outfit had to be crash worship

KN does not have the most exciting prose style

Takes after Cobain, doesn't he?

What are SCG's "poppiest" songs? They definitely have some hooks in them. "The Shining Path" is very catchy.

aka the "Lambada Song"!!!

final album coming out this month, Funeral Mariachi
from Colburn's website: Just finished mastering the final Sun City Girls studio album. I do believe this to be my best work to date. That’s right! I think this might be better than “Feel’s” .

LOL Scott

I have this on preorder, really excited about it based on the promo blather.

can't wait to check this one out. sounds like a winner.

Just the finest thing ever. One of the most beautiful records I've ever heard.

haven't heard; will buy

certainly. this>>rent>>food

WANT

as expected, this is completely top notch greatness from the cover artwork on down. one of their best.

really great. really expensive too.

actually, after 3 listens today already, i'd say it was worth twice the price. astonishingly beautiful.

Just ordered one.

Awesome cover. I just got this from Weird Forest. Will listen tomorrow.

This is so good, it's great. So great, it's excellent. So excellent, it's superb. Album of the year? Time will tell.

pretty sure it's album of the year for me, the 1-2 punch of "Ben's Radio"-"The Imam" is the most amazing thing I've heard in quite a while.

jesus god I can't wait to get this. should have figured that they had a whole completed LP still in the can, even when Charlie passed

WHEN WILL THE MAIL MAN COME?

Will be on the look out for this one.

Well well well

ya know, one of the things that really interests me about this (awesome) record is that in a lot of ways it's the final "fuck you" from a band that made a career out of fucking with their audiences. for years we've had to live with willfully inconsistent releases, whimsical and inconsistent reissues, cavalier treatment of the back catalogue, confrontational live shows, etc. etc. etc.

now, once it's all over, they put out this record - one of their most beautiful and cohesive - and it's like they just wanted to say "see, we could have done this all along, but we didn't want to."

been jamming this on the regular lately. so fuckin good.

not to be totally lame, but is this coming out on CD?

i bet it will eventually!

ah just saw on aquarius records' site: The vinyl of Funeral Mariachi is undoubtedly limited, but a cd is scheduled for release later in October, we're told.

Hooray! Looking forward to this a lot.

Awesome, I can't wait to hear this on a shiny silver platter.

holy shit... what a way to go out.

I really love this this except for one track I'm not feeling, kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, 2nd song on side B: "Holy Ground".

Listening to it now. I guess it seems a little undercooked compared to the rest of the tracks, musically anyway.
I like the incantatory vocals.

I am also listening to this record right now.

"Black Orchid" has really grown on me. The track that I find a little off is "El Solo", which really sounds like it should be on an Alvarius B album.

I guess, reading that again, that the title might be telling me something there.

also... anyone else have some distortion in a couple of spots on "Vine Street Piano"?

"El Solo" has that kind of Elis e Tom ambience/vibe to it. Pretty subtle track imo.

Fuckin love El Solo

what is this hippie crap

j/k

this is awesome

gorgeous

etc

i balked at getting DANTE'S DISNEYLAND INFERNO reissue last night cause it was $56 at aquarius (also btw new neil young was fuckin $41 for one record!!) -- should i reconsider? ive never heard it...

I really love this this except for one track I'm not feeling, kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, 2nd song on side B: "Holy Ground".

^ disagree, the album is like a tour of various psychedelic styles, and this is clearly the barrett tune

young vinyl pricey b/c of high falutin pressing plant, no?

Neil Young - Le Noise (2010)

Dante's is great, really scary & demonic in parts (xxp)

I LOVE "El Solo." one of the first cuts to grab me. hadn't noticed any distortion on vine st... will re-check.
dante's disneyland is one of my favorite SCG records.

can I just say that after new swans, neil young, marnie stern, and now this, it has been a v v good month for music lovers

didn't mean to imply that I was dissing "El Solo", just that it's the track that sticks out as different for me :)
