Music! What are you listening to now?

[sir fly]

Excuse me, Greg, for swinging from the gentle weeps of Laura's guitar to some screams, just not sure tomorrow will
do the work.
Hear & watch.

Thank you, sir fly for that musical interlude.

Now let's back to regularly scheduled programming. (I kid)

Regularly scheduled programming requires caring audience... and overlapped essences make the daze.
So, no confusion here, I believe.

Their work reflects theirs history, I'd say.

Re: Re:

Polvo ~ Can I Ride?

Even before they were the math-rocking, conventional-harmony-eschewing, critic-baiting masters of discordance they later became, Polvo could still write a great song. This has to be the band at their most catchy and fun, its their equivalent of, say, "Lee Remick" by the Go-Betweens or "Joyride" by Built to Spill - great songs not truly representative of what became the band's sound.

Ah, the early-to-mid nineties.
I love music from every era, but I still contend that the indie rock scene during those years was sublime. So many great bands suddenly popped up--most of whom never received the fame and money they deserved. But they have provided me with a lifetime of timeless tunes.
Here's one:

Archers of Loaf--Web in Front

Also, at DJ Sprtsh: I had never heard of Gun Club; they sound great. Sort of like Velvet Underground on uppers? I know nothing about music composition, so apologies if that's an unfair comparison.

Hey, I have that Polvo one, double 7". It's been a while since I listened to it though. Also like Exploded Drawing, but don't know much about their other stuff.
Gun Club - the first three albums are in a league of their own. Some can't stomach Jeffrey Lee Pierce's vocals, I think they're great. I also still very much enjoy JLP's solo outing from...87 or so, Wildweed.

Polvo are great, really love them. Cor Crane Secret is a great album essential to the development of that whole scene of math rock, a term that Polvo themselves disavowed, but obviously belong within, in much the same way as people like Bauhaus disavowed the "goth" term back in the early 80s. Before Bob Weston started producing them they had this raw, grungey production but still the skintight, taut musicianship and jazzy syncopation and irreverent song structures. I've been spinning a lot of the "borderline" math rock stuff like Slint, Shellac, Polvo and Rodan of late. And some more overt math rock, like Don Caballero and these guys.

I'm not sure how to define the term "math rock" but there were a couple bands I lurve who fit into the category.
One was Tar, but youtube footage does not exist.
The other is Drive Like Jehu.
They rock like the racetrack on welfare day.

Edited to add that I'm getting carried away.
Drive Like Jehu morphed into the terribly named Hot Snakes, but they are still awesome.

A moot point, the delgados.
In the ten years span a voice change occurs and phone becomes bone.
For the girls tense's crucial.

Hey, I have got that one too! The new Low record is massive.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I didn't really like the new record, to be honest. The first three songs just blurred into one nondescript electro record and made me remember that once upon a time there was a really great slowcore band who were also called Low, and it made me wonder what happened to them.
