But I'm sure we can all agree that everything post 6FS is > post DLJ with the only really bright spot being Hot Snakes. Although I think I like one of those RFTC albums.

are you trying to make gygax! and I engage in a death match?

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Thursday, 30 June 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

I don't even know who you are!

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Thursday, 30 June 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

Night Soil Man sucked right? I like the Pitchfork album, totally listenable!

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Thursday, 30 June 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

I think the HOT SNAKES trump all post 6FS dealys

LAMACHINE buries hot snakes.

yeah... allmusic adds golden to my list... i gotta side with ddb... juan maclean might okay... but hot snakes... i mean... HOT SNAKES...

HOT SNAKES!

ps $.50 says my html don't work.

― msp (mspa), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

chinese stars, though, are pretty dire.

no, not golden -- tangental at best.

Richard Pelletier
D.O.B.: 6.28.72
Favorite Sexual Maneuver: all of them
Pet Peeve: language
Most Inspirational Dictator: Ngo Dinh Diem
Favorite Charity: Helen Keller Institute
Greek Arts or English Culture: English Culture

"When I die, it will be from... Severe Exposure"

his great self-released solo thing before he took a turn for the worse by becoming part of the Chinese Stars plodding disco beat ad infinitum. i can make you a cd-r. i think it's all unavailable now.

Drive Like Jehu destroys 6FS (who were great, but ya know... T/S: NORTH COUNTY SAN DIEGO VS. PROVIDENCE RI)

But "Give Me Every Little Thing" alone is better than any single song of any Hot Snakes record, though I'll take the Hot Snakes' consistency.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

Chinese Stars were really good at first.

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

jack, that sounds cool. i owe you one or two already. maybe i'll bug you for it later...

at this point, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that i'm into more 6fs influenced bands right now... more than dlj at this point. i'm sure that's varied over time.

can dlj be credited for "math rock"? (i'm sure they can't... but...maybe some? oh no... rock critter astrology...)

― msp (mspa), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:38 (twenty years ago)

at first . . . but its the same stiff shit over and over again. too much Arab On Radar and not enough Pelletier -- too rigid of an aesthetic.

Countdown for Joel to arrive to tout Slint or some other Louisville crap.... in 5 4 3 2 1!

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

Both Slint and DLJ were doing that heavy time-sig fuckery around the same time so it's hard to say. Props to Pitchblende! for combining key elements from both bands into something equally worthwhile.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

he doesn't need to be here. Gygax! already is.

― jack cole's skeletal remains found at the bottom of a ravine (jackcole), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

The first Chinese Stars show was really good!!! Remember the shit that goes on at the cult of Set in the Conan movie? Like that!!!

― THE JAMES DEAN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT (ex machina), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

yeah, but by the time they made it out here, whatever spark there had been had just become routine -- and it was that way both times i saw them.

― jack cole's skeletal remains found at the bottom of a ravine (jackcole), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

also, i owe Pitchblende to G! Thanks!

― jack cole's skeletal remains found at the bottom of a ravine (jackcole), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

Y'ALL READY FOR THIS.

CIRCA: NOW DESTROYS ANYTHING 6FS EVER DID!!

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

The new Chinese Stars together with Panthers made me lose faith in Justin (EX-PITCHBLENDE FOR THOSE KEEPING TRACK AT HOME)...

Until that great second TURING MACHINE album that only 5 people bought.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

ZWEI SHREDS THE ULTIMATE WAVE BRO!!!

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

The first RFTC singles comp blows anything they themselves ever did with the force of 36.654 torpedos!

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

I HATE THAT COMP. I SOLD MY LP COPY LAST YEAR FOR LIKE $48. BONKERS.

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Dude! Okay, I admit I need to hear it again, but it was treating me pretty great on last listen (5 years ago?).

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

I don't think wet firecrackers usually make that large of a sound, ddb. you might want to make the KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! mite smaller or uncapitalize for realism.

gygax! right about comp being best RFTC. LISTEN TO YOUR PIPEWEED SMOKING ELDER.

― jack cole's skeletal remains found at the bottom of a ravine (jackcole), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

THERE ARE DEF. GREAT TUNES ON IT...BUT AS A WHOLE (LIKE MOST COMPS) ITS TOO SCATTERED AND UNEVEN. I HAVE A LOT OF THE 7"ers.

HAVE U HEARD THE REISSUE OF CIRCA NOW...THE EXTRA 4 TRACKS ARE SO CHOICE!!!

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

THE STATE OF ART IS ON FIREEE

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

HOT CHARITY >>>>>> S.O.A.I.O.F.

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Thursday, 30 June 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

i got the 2nd drive like jehu album (with 7") in a dollar bin yesterday.

but overall i like 6FS more, for their krautier tendencies.

― Ian John50n (orion), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

Hot Charity IS pretty good. I heard that one! Nephews opened for RFTC on part of the Scream Dracula Scream tour.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 30 June 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

S.D.S. NOT SO GOOD.

THATS WHERE I BID RFTC ADU.

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Thursday, 30 June 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

Maclean's former band, Six Finger Satellite, were a bruising mixture of skinny tie and thick neck, mixed eye-meltingly loud by Murphy live, and all but blueprinting Les Savy Fav (who I like better, but why lie?) on record.

MORON.

― Tumililingan (ex machina), Monday, 25 July 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

jon, you should change your handle to "the juan williams"!

― haitch (haitch), Monday, 25 July 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

Jess harvell should change his name to "I am fat and like indie, but discovered dance music in my 20s so its ok"

― Tumililingan (ex machina), Monday, 25 July 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

wait, jess harvell wrote that?

dude needs to stick to writing about dance music and fag-pop.

― Ian John50n (orion), Monday, 25 July 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

LIKING LES SAVY FAV MORE = U R GAZE

*PLEASE NOTE that this COUPON has only been sent to INSOUNDERS who have purchased Absolutely Kosher releases with us in the past.

Get Him Eat Him hails from Providence, Rhode Island, but its members are a cross-country lot who converged during their first year at Brown with a love for weird noises, oddball humor and an appetite for music and sandwiches. Singer/guitarist/electronic manipulator Matt LeMay (the band's elder at 21) wrote many of these songs while still in high school (and still the youngest staff writer at the then fledgling Pitchfork), but it wasn't until the band's current line-up of Jason Sigal (guitar, vocals), Raf Spielman (keyboards), Jeff Wood (drums), and Joe Posner (bass) came together that they became the monster heard on Geography Cones, the band's debut (recorded by Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof, Erase Errata). Each song is an impressive combination of taut melodies, jerky rhythms, and a frighteningly keen turn of phrase, brought together by spastic sex, flailing hostility, nervous energy and, as Matt squawks on the stomper "Shirt Like A Couch," an endearing and furious "awkwardness" !
that has garnered the band the attentions of and invitations from the Arcade Fire, Xiu Xiu, the Wrens, the Constantines, Ted Leo and Broken Social Scene.

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO U R.
