i saw Soop (= stereolab improvising around soop groove) supporting pram supporting EAR (with sonic boom) just to tie a few things together. the garage, 1996-05-30
each band had *their own* theremin on stage, couldn't share one, had to use their own...
― koogs
kind of funny, i saw cornelius yesterday and they had three theremins up there (the drummer didn't have one i don't think). they played them all together, sounded lovely
never saw stereolab live, haven't been impressed by any of the live recordings i've heard but tapes can lie of course
opening for cornelius were a band called rocketship. apparently they were around in the '90s but they never showed up on my radar back then. they were okay but they seemed to start with their most boring material and gradually got more interesting. also since they were an opener the mix was shit and it was impossible to hear anything. the main thing i took away was being not impressed at all by their drummer, who i'm not sure was able to play in waltz time?

that came out as an aimless ramble, what i meant to say is that rocketship sort of reminded me of stereolab.

Not "Pop Quiz" ?

nope, sorry
― alexsuponya, Friday, 16 March 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
if it helps, the bass line is more stretched out. in pop quiz, the rhythm is different. It's more like:C# G#C#^D#^C#^ G#C# G#C#^D#^C#^ G#C# G#C#^D#^C#^ G#|| E G#C#^D#^C#^ G#E G#C#^D#^C#^ G#E G#C#^D#^C#^ G#|| B F#B^C#^B^ F#B F#B^C#^B^ F#B F#B^C#^B^ F#

New Cavern of Anti-Matter is streaming on NPR: https://www.npr.org/2018/03/15/593428620/first-listen-cavern-of-anti-matter-hormone-lemonade
Seems decent.
New Little Tornados, a band that's got Laetitia in the roster, came out the other day. It's terrible. Their first wasn't good either.
https://irascible.ch/de/releases/little-tornados/apocalypse/
Little Tornados is the European psychedelic country project of David Thayer, featuring bass lines and backing vocals of Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab), drumming by Emmanuel Mario (Holden, Astrobal), John Herndon (Tortoise), Hans Hansen, bass by Amin Khatir, guitar by Joel Raif, and some vocal work by Caroline Sallee (Caroline Says), Giorgio Tuma and others. The second album, Apocalypse! uses instrumentation such as tube synthesizers and discarded home organs found on the streets and thrift stores of Switzerland.
It's on Spotify if you're interested. Vocals and lyrics are just really, really bad.

Man, I'm really digging Cavern's new one.

I had no idea they had another album prior to void beats until just now.

Yeah, it's a good one. Limited release. Didn't know it was on Spotify, but that's good news.

I support this idea. This site still exists, but don't think it's been updated in a while:

@jordanbpeterson I am so gutted by the treatment The Guardian -and some of the well to do media- has given you this week. You have all my support and many thanks for your clarity and -oh too rare- courage to speak the truth!— Lætitia Sadier (@SadierLae) February 12, 2018

I cannot for the life of me figure how a committed Marxist could reconcile their beliefs with Peterson's entirely anti-Marxist rhetoric, nor see him as some kind of truth-teller. Does not compute.
Between this and Rosie Cuckston I'm almost grateful Trish Keenan was never on Twitter. Sometimes we're just better off not having the private thoughts of people we like made available.

btw if anyone is serious about rejecting all their Stereolab records i will gladly take in any LPs you have. for free, of course, you wouldn't want to profit from it, you would want to give me your Stereolab LPs because it is the right thing to do.

There was an article in P’fork today that mentioned her tweet (I saw it later in the day). Apparently Sean Lennon also tweeted defense/praise of this controversial dude I hadn’t heard of.

In a New York Times interview published in May, Peterson made the case for "enforced monogamy” as a corrective against male violence.

Those vinyl reissues look nice. This is going to be an expensive year.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 20 February 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
so TRNBwA and MAQ are getting reissued. Duophonic has special limited editions that are "hand-numbered and assembled obi band made from 2 24 track Stereolab master tape".
What is an obi band? Don't know if I should spring for this version or go with the normal one.

ha, xpost
interesting, so the limited edition have that sash thing and are clear vinyl and limited to 500 copies, but are otherwise the same. They don't actually cost more, but have to be purchased from Duophonic, which means more expensive shipping vs Amazon.

I remember hearing somewhere that the band was never happy with the sound of Transient Random Noise Bursts — like it was the rushed major label debut or something. It was my first Stereolab album and I love it as it is, but it's the album I'd be most curious to hear remastered.
Wonder just what tapes they're cutting up for those obi strips....
xp US media shipping for the LPs was $6, not too bad.
