the line "we do more drugs than a touring funk band" gets in my head all the time

the last minute and change of "Arming Eritrea" by FOTL is pretty much as good as rock music could ever be to me

YES to the Arming Eritrea song. That Future of the Left record is a powerhouse. There's a song towards the end, Drink Nike which is also a stunner.

Always had these down as a not quite as good 80s Matchbox. Are any of their albums as good as Horse Of The Dog?

the 2nd and 3rd LPs are both solid, caustic, tight as fuck noise rock.
― meaulnes, Monday, 22 July 2019 12:38 (four years ago) link
I agree 'Do Dallas' is their best but 'The Difference' is the one I listen to most. It is indeed tight as fuck noise rock, but that slightlier poppy side on the 3rd gives it so much more.

I’m sure they’ll be fascinated to hear someone disagrees with you on the internet.
That's not the royal "you" here. That's you.

Maybe you just suck at dark humor?

I didn’t say there was no dark humour, I said it wasn’t the same as mclusky. There’s a difference.

So, by all means crack on, but you’re still wrong on the internet.
― michaellambert, Monday, 22 July 2019 20:55 (four years ago) link
And you're a fucking idiot on the internet.

your search screenshot makes that claim pretty ironic

i'm a google search expert on the internet who would like to point out there's no way that 269,000 different web pages mention Idles the band, let alone 269,000 different pages that also mention their "dark humor"
this is page 3 of the same search query

As far as humour goes, Mclusky have the distinction of actually being funny, especially on a line-by-line basis.
― vcrash, Monday, 22 July 2019 23:28 (four years ago) link
Seeing them again tonight. By February it'll be three times in 6 months, which isn't bad for a band that split up 15 years ago.

US tour, fall 2022
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 1 April 2022 22:04 (two years ago) link
I saw them at a tiny venue in Atlanta . . . I can't remember when. Fifteen years ago? More? Anyway, they opened with "Lightsaber Cocksucking Blues," after which my friend and I were like, "You ready to go? Yeah, me too."
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 1 April 2022 22:07 (two years ago) link
I'm guessing it was 2004. The opener was Yourcodenameis:Milo, who were touring for their first album.

i haven't seen anything
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 14 September 2023 17:12 (eight months ago) link
No, these songs are being released digitally as a fund raisers for reapplying for US visas, I believe the plan is then to hopefully reschedule the US dates next yr
