these comps look like a very healthy balance between welcome nostalgia and shit that passed me by first time round, personally speaking

this compilation is great, kudos to whiney for putting this together. it's wild to revisit some of this stuff again and seeing it historicised and especially remembering all the live gigs genuinely makes my heart ache. it's interesting to see how it seemed stateside as I only saw some of these bands play in the UK, where fitted alongside stuff like vibracathedral orchestra, all the noisey Sheffield/leeds/Manchester bands. there was a proper scene for it in a way I haven’t really seen since and yeah some of those ATPs were amazing
― ogmor, Tuesday, 9 February 2016 12:58 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, this whole scene was a pretty huge part of my life for a good chunk of it. A historically interesting time, truly a one-of-a-kind moment that I feel very lucky to have been involved in. So yeah, thanks Whiney.

^Yep - also the Instal and Subcurrent festivals in Glasgow (later was David Keenan's noisefest, featured all the usual suspects like Wolf Eyes, Prurient, Hototogisu, Double Leopards, Mouthus etc etc)

AMAZING!

I totally ignored this stuff while it was happening (mostly because I found the scene too impenetrable/daunting) so this is pretty interesting to dive into with next to no context.

I bought that CD just to make the mix since i didn't think the Killball record was really representative of what FF "meant"
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:10 (eight years ago) link
just prior to this I was listening to a bunch of late 80s/early 90s indie/punk/underground stuff and thinking how interesting it was to have these scenes that were completely antithetical and hermetically sealed off from mainstream musical tropes, just really unrelated to anything you would hear on any radio station or TV show. And this stuff feels like an extension of that ethos. the general sonic unpredictability of it seems like its major virtue.

damn i cant believe i was only one of 2 that voted j weise

Surprised Prurient didn't place higher.

thanx for making these whiney
this whole thing feels sort east coast to me though... although i guess most of the west coast stuff im thinking of / listening to ca this time is what your calling 'arthur mag' stuff. still wld be cool for someone to chronicle/memorialize some of that stuff as well

you were an sfindie bro weren't you? the action was happening on spockmorgue iirc
― sarahell, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:40 (eight years ago) link
oh I saw some shows and was tangentially aware of various people (lol Filthmilk) and I've always kept a toe in various experimental scenes and subscenes but a lot of this stuff felt very aggro/east coast and just kind of... why would I buy a record of this, y'know? idk this was happening at a time where I was def not feeling a lot of contemporary scenes and was digging more into older shit, just tons of stuff from the 70s mainly. The noise scene seemed like a real headache to keep track of.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:46 (eight years ago) link
i think that dude is getting kicked out of his space. He once backed into my bandmate's car. For a while he was doing noise shows in Potrero park, which were fun.
― sarahell, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:47 (eight years ago) link
cops shut down the one show we tried to do at Potrero park, man that was a disaster. shouldn't have publicized it.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:49 (eight years ago) link
SFPD stopped us from setting up, brought along like 6 cars full of cops - 2 weeks later they sent a bill for $3,500 in overtime charges demanding that we pay it. fucking leeches.
(we did not pay it)
― Οὖτις, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:50 (eight years ago) link
I tried to get deeper into SF stuff (Hospitals, KIT, Numbers, Spacek), because this was a problem with the poll from jump, but if Lamp and sarahel want to tell me who i'm forgetting, I'm all ears
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 4 March 2016 22:09 (eight years ago) link
we had this discussion upthread, where you pretty much dismissed most of the relevant Bay Area acts as "too rock"

There was also a whole Chicago/Midwest scene that is somewhat included in this poll

The bands you mentioned — Burmese and Total Shutdown and Mae Shi — are all on here!

I won't deny that I do have an East Coast bias tho, because that's where I was at!
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 4 March 2016 22:26 (eight years ago) link
Yeah Pink and Brown/Burmese/Total Shutdown/XBXRX/USAisaMonster were too "rock band" for the poll,
