Death Grips

no but seriously: I think the 2xLP-with-half-leaked-in-advance could be a surprisingly good marketing strategy for bands in Death Grips' position (rabid fanbase, restless musicians) to basically cash in their chips -- "here's a free half-hour of the experimental shit that might alienate you; btw you're still paying for it whether you like it or not when the proper album drops"

in closing, there is no way in hell I would pay for tix to a Death Grips (RIP) show unless I could literally see the band standing in front of me as I handed over my credit card

def liking the second part a lot more than n---as on the moon

omg it's so good, esp when the guitar parts start happening

that weird feeling when you find yourself really digging something and it turns out to be called 'why a bitch gotta lie'

eh, arguably better than "have a sad cum"

that awesome feeling when you find yourself really digging something and it turns out to be called 'why a bitch gotta lie'

'on GP' is majestic btw

it's called "have a sad cum bb" just saying

i wouldn't pay for death grips tix either but i also don't believe for a second that dude's fucked-up self-destructive "artist" shit is a fully intentional decision on his part.

i would totally pay for tickets; the venue is on the hook to return cash if they cancel and why not pay to see them?

I've actually seen them and they were pretty great.

i may have mentioned it up thread but i had tickets and showed up about eighty minutes after show start (they had an opener) and the show FINISHED as I walked up to the venue which is kinda unheard of... wasn't even a short set, the opener did like fifteen minutes and then DG hopped on immediately and did an hour. regrets, i have a few

like who would've guessed they'd go on early?

Yep.

like who would've guessed they'd go on early?

truly next-level trolling.

it did occur to me!

My CD copy of the powers that b just arrived and i can't figure out how to get them out without breaking anything

^^^ not a troll, CD packaging just sucks these days

niggaz on the moon sometimes fine, but worked that Bjork sample to death and then sum. Really enjoy the Fashion Week tracks though. Good to work to!

but this way suckers (like me) are guilted into paying 12 buxx for ten new songs

If anyone's curious the set-up in Seattle was doors at 7, no opener, they went on at 9 and everyone was out the door by 10:30. Had a great time.

and now

Was kinda eehhhh about Niggas on the Moon and subsequently overlooked Jenny Death. Big mistake. Thing fucking slays front to back. Maybe their best album.

yeah, ppl are really sleeping on it, was in my top 10

there's a new one o_O

just listened to it in fact -- and it's yet another good, relentless Death Grips record. Most consistent band on the planet, really.

will be on this very shortly, q excited. rym is going mad for it

no one fucking cares, Louis

I shouldn't have snapped at u

u_u

sorry, lj

Whiney acting the Hot Head in honour of the incendiary second track

new track is pretty fun, stripping back the noise a bit

and they say music can't change the world

lol nice. year of the snitch was probably my most listened-to album of the year. it didn't bowl me over at first, but its endless parade of off-the-wall ideas--coupled with its uniformly hazy, blunted sonics--kept pulling me back in. i don't think i've seen it on a single year-end list :(

would love to see them go deeper into the psych-prog zone of dilemma

Lol I had completely forgotten that death grips are the greatest band in the world

Fuiud

:D

exmilitary is still the pinnacle but ilx def underrates them

I was way too late getting into these guys, no love deep web prob my fave

money store is the one i listen to most often but ya easy best band of the last decade

I should have absorbed more DG by now. Really, really, really liked The Powers That B or whatever the two-disc thing was officially called. The juxtaposition of the two not-very-similar discs somehow added something in itself. I even bought a physical copy fercrissakes, which is noteworthy for me nowadays.

But I have no recollection of hearing the stuff since then, nor NLDW for that matter. I've no real excuse...

Definitely a band that felt uniquely important and new. An actual next stage of punk. Seeing the crowd that showed up to their shows kinda ruined some of it for me though. Looked like a 4chan meetup.

ha, i heard someone describe them as incel music and i was like ewwwwww but i still kinda like them

Yeah I don’t put that on them, just kinda made me re-evaluate. Gotta really suck to have an unexpected fan base like that though.

lol saw them in london c. money store and the crowd wasn't particularly gross at all? money store is the best imo.
