Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Classic or Dud?

Said chalet is booked and we have a spare space therein. It's a 4-berth room-only chalet, so the total cost is £175. If anyone is interested then please get in touch.

Part of a few chalets' worth of mainly Glasgow-based people, so it's sure to be heady buckfast-filled times, if that's any added temptation. All good folks.

wish I had any money at all tbh

Would be all over that chalet if the £175 included round trip airfare from Texas, sadly I don't have the $$ to go beyond that.

This one just gets better...

ONEIDA present The Ocropolis
HANGED with Tony Conrad
THEE OH SEES
MATANA ROBERTS
LAND OF KUSH
PHILIP JECK
JOHN BUTCHER

Just incredible!

That's Hangedup though, right?

I pray that Land Of Kush playing means that Elizabeth Anka Vajagic will be there... <Swoon>

I am interested in this

Does your ILXmail work?

Assuming you're meaning myself, there's a link to my website on my ILX profile and my email address is on there, it being itsnotred on ye olde gmail, if that makes sense...

A friend has expressed interest in the spare space, but nothing's concrete yet, so please do feel free to get in touch.

land of kush is MUST-SEE

Throbbing Gristle!

Yeah, I'm beginning to get worried about the clashes already.

Other final additions are The Sadies, Tindersticks and two bands whose sole contribution seems to be some Canadian comp - one called Dreamcatcher who describe themselves as "big beat psychedelic" and I can't remember the other.

I listened to Dreamcatcher (albeit through shitty comp speakers) this morning and they sounded neither big beat nor psychedelic

stoked for the madness regardless

lol I *think* I'm in a chalet with someone who has already been zinged on ILM this morning (not a poster)

it's Ayn Rand, isn't it?

stoked for the secret Rush set madness

Going to this! CHARLEMAGNE PALESTINE

:D

The promised European dates are beginning to come through. So far we have:

14 Jan – Paris
25 Jan – Vienna

19 Jan – Amsterdam

It's interesting re-reading the early posts here from almost 10 years ago, especially because G!YBE became one of the definitive cult bands to emerge from the late 90s/early 00s. The "Love 'em or Hate 'em" approach derided in the OP has become the default mode for discourse about them. I still love 'em and I think they put together the best ATP in a long, long, long time. Really wish I was going.

yeah it's def. the best atp line-up for ages! i can't wait

Just bought my tickets!

godspeed ATP sold out!

Hometown shows finally scheduled for April. Very psyched.

gotta love em... $12!

capitalist scum

hehe nah I know shit's gotta get paid, good work lads n lasses

your first post seems like a joke, and then in the second, it seems like you are misunderstanding your own joke

opinion: zzzzzzz

it's like the biggest build up to absolutely nothing same goes for sigur ros

mogwai manage to actually climax, where as these bands struggle to get their dick hard and once they do just can't seem to spunk

thanks

sorry, it's the only way i could put it really, instead you can think about a kettle boiling but not reaching 100 degrees if that offended you

do you and me a favour and listen to this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEWZw2FldlQ

but it's 10 minutes long :( a band should have plugged in, rocked out, played 10 songs, smashed their guitars up and left the stage by then.

mogwai is emo for the unwashed & inarticulate, not a good exemplar to use when listening to gybe.

jumpskins it is their second-shortest released song and also their finest hours, please give it the patience you'd give two or three oasis songs

lololol @ 'finest hours', apt

haven't listened in a long time, but i still like the strange space of the first album best, the dreamlike flow from conversations to tunes, to field recordings, it was tactile and mysterious. static>steve albini

first album is awesome. lift yr skinny fists and new zero kanada are amazingly overrated

final album is hulking wrathful beast of titanic rock and roll vengeance and it doesn't fuck with field recordings because it is classical fucking music

it's dressed up as classical music

But there's strings and things, it's clearly classical.

Also, less than a month to ATP!!!!

less than a month to ATP!!!!

i looked at the lineup again this morning and oh man i am SO EXCITED

Enjoy your incessant crescendos.

i will enjoy each one more than the last

Met a kid at the Pavement concert who got an ATP tattoo right on his arm... he said his biggest dissapointment with it is that more people recognized it as adenosine tripohsphate, which is basically a chemical reaction that oversees how you process energy. Personally I thought it was terrible tattoo (forever visibly marked on your arm = that one time i went to an art-rock concert?), but ur body is urs, I guess.

getting excited now.

Managed to snag some of the last tickets for the first show in MTL - not a super-fun morning, though the 30-40 people behind me had a considerably worse time.

lol i keep forgetting about this, it's still like a quarter-year to go until the new york dates

Yeah I got some MTL tickets too, but trying not to think about it much. End of April seems like a lifetime away with a long cold winter in between.
