Yeah black dice totally sucked when I saw them play last year.

HAHA, INDIE FAGS.

Black Dice rocked my world when they opened for Godspeed. I think I was the only one in Toronto who liked them, though.

Hey, Barry! Do you know when the rochester to toronto ferry starts?

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Sunday, 15 February 2004 23:34 (twenty years ago) link

There's really gonna be a Rochester-Toronto ferry?
I guess this will make it easier for Godspeed to play Rochester on their next tour? :)

HAHAHAHA FUNNY

one year passes...

I can't decide if Godspeed You Black Emperor is:

(1) Beautiful.
(2) Deathly boring.
(3) Funny.

THEY'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITE JAMBANDS!!!!!

― Suzy Creemcheese (SuzyCreemcheese), Thursday, 25 August 2005 15:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Do they even exist anymore, or are they called A Silver Mt. Zion now?

― PB, Thursday, 25 August 2005 16:21 (eighteen years ago) link

my wife called them Godspell You Black Emperor the other day. she is funny.

i really hope they get back together to perform live if not to record. i found them to be enthralling in concert,would love to feel that again.

ASMZ is a different band with some of the same members (Efrim, Sophie, Thierry).

GYBE at the QMU in Glasgow is one of my fave gigs ever.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Thursday, 25 August 2005 19:09 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't dislike them...

― latebloomer's rectal mocha latte (latebloomer), Thursday, 25 August 2005 19:12 (eighteen years ago) link

I have never met anyone that dislikes GYBE! Either they love them or they havn't heard of them. ...2001

ILM backlash in effect

one year passes...

for those who don't get this band.....listen Lift Your Skinny Fists at a reasonably high volume with hardly any lights on while lying on the floor. it's incredible. gybe in incredible

I totally expected this to be a Jagger revival.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 01:38 (seventeen years ago) link

it needed to be done. ive been really listening to them lately. i hope they get back in the studio as a group again. this is one of the best acts of this generation.

oh man i saw these guys once. the best part was the preshow. after they had signed eveyrone's gy!be memorabilia, they allowed us all to get a photo taken with them, if we were so inclined. of course, i was inclined. and of course, my camera lens had something on it, so there's some weird light spot on the side of the picture, but i didn't even care. it was just such an awesome experience to be so close to them. the guys were all very laid back and nice, which made it hard to feel like they were any kind of celebrities. they were just people. I think that's what makes them so great.

gear, are you feeling ok

― UART variations (ex machina), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 02:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi, I'm Jess, and I'm a music lover to the core.

Not THE Jess?

(it kinda looks like him with a wig)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 04:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i refuse to be lumped together with her

― gman (gman59), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 06:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Everything was cool till Yanqui and then the lack of samples made you realise how important this was to why they were so good.

three years pass...

Reunited.

Tix are on sale tomorrow morning, Ned Raggett.

wish I had cash :(

Wish I had a place to stay in the UK-- oh hi dere LJ...

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 8 April 2010 23:20 (fourteen years ago) link

my parents will be delighted to have an ilxor in their midst

actually by then I really should have a place of my own. but this is moot because for ATP you just rent a cabin at butlins and that is your home

― lllljjjj (acoleuthic), Thursday, 8 April 2010 23:22 (fourteen years ago) link

Haha Krakow IN YOUR FACE

after a decade's retreat, god's pee has decided to roll again

Do I care about these guys anymore? I'll have to think about it...

― seandalai, Thursday, 8 April 2010 23:45 (fourteen years ago) link

Shit, I was interviewing Efrim recently ahead of the SMZ tour and thought it inappropriate to ask about a Godspeed! reunion. Didn't see this coming at all. Silly me, I could have got a scoop!

― Count Palmiro Vicarion (Stew), Friday, 9 April 2010 00:56 (fourteen years ago) link

Tix are on sale tomorrow morning, Ned Raggett.

Doubtless.

Jamester, ya'll should fix the spelling of "Tomorrow's" in that graphic

They're just OK, I wanted to love F#A#(Infinity symbol) but eventually gave up on it.... crescendo after crescendo after crescendo just doesn't really make a good record to me. And I like Mogwai/Explosions In the Sky....

― kelpolaris, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:15 (fourteen years ago) link

haters and indifferent people gtfo imo

― samosa gibreel, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:17 (fourteen years ago) link

in your opinion.

― kelpolaris, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:30 (fourteen years ago) link

dud

― Latham Green, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:31 (fourteen years ago) link

wow, very exciting. i doubt i'll make it to ATP, but here's hoping they play some other dates.

― borntohula, Friday, 9 April 2010 04:04 (fourteen years ago) link

they are playing "nine american cities" and so far nothing else is even being planned

I never thought I’d ever hear this, and yet am listening to it now. Wild.

Nice way for them to respond to it finally appearing too.

Enjoy! I'm heading to the Glasgow gig tomorrow.

awesome.

I bought a new vinyl copy of f#a#infinity recently and was quite amused to find that constellation still included all that ephemera inside, crushed penny and all

Heard BBF3 for the first time in ~20 years and it held up...
