man 'farm' is pretty fucking great

^^^ Its a fantastic album.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 15 August 2011 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i should give it a little more time -- whenever one of the songs comes up on shuffle, i think it sounds surprisingly amazing.
― tylerw, Monday, 15 August 2011 17:02 (twelve years ago) link
On balance, I like it better than Beyond as far as reunion albums go.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 15 August 2011 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
love this record but anything from it coming up on shuffle is a brutal experience imo, like yank your headphones free brutal

maybe that's why it makes me pay attention, haha!
― tylerw, Monday, 15 August 2011 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
My beef with Farm is that there doesn't seem to be any bass on it.
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 15 August 2011 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
I think they're a better band now than they were in the 80s/90s

I don't think D Jr ever wrote anything as good as "The Freed Pig" or maybe even "Violet Execution" but still DJR>SEB

listening to Farm now, sounds great. guitar sound might out neil young neil young.
― tylerw, Monday, 15 August 2011 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
Yep, thats a big part of why I love the album so much. Just a fantastic guitar album.

Listening to Green Mind right now and I'm genuinely wondering if there's any bass guitar on Puke + Cry
― Colin Allstations (PaulTMA), Monday, 15 August 2011 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
i think the bass on a lot of those records is so fuzzed out that it might come across as another layer of guitar distortion or something.
― tylerw, Monday, 15 August 2011 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah that's what I figured. Come to think of it in the times I've seen them live there didn't seem to be any bass either, just waves and waves of loudness. Love these guys.
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 15 August 2011 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
lol, i saw them a couple years back and barlow played a bass solo! it was while mascis was having some kind of technical trouble. lou may have been a little bit high, i'm not sure, he was acting kind of bizarre all night.
― tylerw, Monday, 15 August 2011 19:18 (twelve years ago) link
Both times I've seen them onstage Lou has seemed like the most annoying person around. J just rocked back and forth autistically.

Haha, this is probably correct. I think J. played almost everything on the record.

just listened to puke and cry and there is crazy bass on that song, you may be deaf. sorry.
― it's a meme i made and i like (Steve Shasta), Monday, 15 August 2011 19:31 (twelve years ago) link
(verses: lots of fret 7-9 hammer ons on a fender p-bass if i had to guess)
― it's a meme i made and i like (Steve Shasta), Monday, 15 August 2011 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
I can hear it now. It's least bass-y bass sound ever, but it's there, just about.
― Colin Allstations (PaulTMA), Monday, 15 August 2011 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
And at a low-ish volume, it's practically inaudible.

haha! the new/old live album is streaming here: http://recordstoreday.com/NewsItem/3259sounds ragged, but j's guitar is out of this world.

I tried really hard with this band, but not enough sixties in the music for my taste. Indie taste back then was inf. by massive 70s sounds. Guitar rock not my thing.

i'm looking forward to the Dino Jr. tracks poll. i really feel like there are some great unheralded pockets of their catalog outside of the canonical stuff -- Hand It Over is so great.

Man this used book store by me was having a sidewalk sale with just boxes of random ass cds on sale for a buck or less. It was just utter crap - probably more Windows 95 era game discs in the boxes than music discs and about 100 copies of each of those BMG sampler discs. Anyway, just as I was about to walk away, I spotted that one above and the JayLouMurph thing for 50 cents each. Made my week.
