i fear that i'm going to spend too much money ordering things from eclipse tonight if i get more drunk (doesn't this belong in another thread??) ooooh lord. but i have mp3s of nearly everything, or i can get them.. so i can hold off on getting vinyl copies of things, but there's always the problem of the vinyl copies disappeaaring.

Ian I was at that show, too. Didn't think Scorces were as good as times I'd seen 'em previously, but if was your first time seein' 'em, they weren't so bad (Jackie-O made me leave).

Destroy the earlier stuff - Ash Castles, s/t CDr, etc - though 'destroy' is harsh - I LOVED them at the time, but they've come so far since then. Plus there's a really embarrassing pop song on on eof those that rips the Godz's "Ruby Red" note for note
Destroy Ash Castles on the Ghost Coast, for the most part. Zzzzzzzzz...
How much are Mike Gunn records going for these days?

All of the reviews I've read allude to screaming vocals from Christina, which could be either really good or really bad. Does it sound cheesy or contrived, as sometimes these things do?

'Market Square is great, probably my favorite thing by them so far (although it's not the current line-up)'
so how has the line up changed?
Ian, I like the A side of that eclipse LP.

It reminds me of when, back in the day, my teenage bandmate, who was obsessed with Kurdt's PCpunker / kill-the-jocks / feminist / homo love rhetoric, explained that he loved The Breeders, qualifying his love for them by saying that he didn't CARE what anyone else said, Kim Deal was HOT in his book.

They close it out with a collaborative track, called "Orion 2." A sequel to the track "Orion" on BF/BS's Forcefields & Constellations.
Will report back when I've listened to the whole thing, but I encourage anyone who's on the fence about getting to get it... great packaging from TimeLag, too.

Hope someone recorded that Charalambides show, would love to hear it.

looks like they're playing at the Empty Bottle in Chicago and with The Renderers in LA later this summer! too far away but jeez.

huh all I see there at the moment is one album? would love to hear the earlier batch of CDRs, I don't know some of them
― sleeve, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 19:58 (six years ago) link
Aye. Assume they'll gradually populate it? Hope so.

The Charalambides page only went online two days ago or so; Tom has been gradually populating his own Bandcamp page for a while now, so yes, there'll be more.

Burner of a solo show from Tom last night at Union Pool in Brooklyn. There's an instagram video at https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEODCnFNSQ/

Tom is operating on a very high level solo right now. I can't even really tell how he does it, just masterful tone wrangling.
― grandavis, Thursday, 30 August 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
yeah it's the tone, I agree but can't explain it any better than you.
I really need that double LP from a few years back
― sleeve, Thursday, 30 August 2018 15:59 (five years ago) link
It is a wonderful record. I just jammed it a couple of weeks ago.
― grandavis, Thursday, 30 August 2018 16:14 (five years ago) link
Just discovered them live at their gig last night, truly remarkable music. got their last record, Exile, Tom seems like a real nice dude.
They used to be three?
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 12 October 2018 20:46 (five years ago) link
They've just been a duo for a while now, since A Vintage Burden or even earlier. Exile is amazing, enjoy.
probably my favorite band of the 2000s

Their new album is in the mail to me right now, can't wait. I just got the Bandcamp download today, so I get to listen tonight.

missed the nyc show last weekend but am ready for the new record. i sprung for the bonus cassette too

looks like the cassette is not included in the download, fwiw. listening for the first time now, about to get on the living room couch and give it my full attention.
