Godflesh, Swans, AND Hallogallo!

ha ha, that was Kurt Vile he he, picturing thurston and a ghost on segways was funnier though ha ha.
jaegermeister speaking.

I've just uploaded a couple videos of the show in Barcelona, Primavera Sound 2010.

The first one is Hallogallo, but the beginning is missing.

Quality is average (photo camera video), and mono sound.

though Rother's guitar was not prominent enough, i dug the set quite a bit. had the distinct pleasure of talking w/ Michael and Aaron the following day...interview will be up in a few days.

playing detroit tonight

heh, was just gonna post the article that my friend Max and I did...thanks Moshe.

I would really like a copy of that 45 if anyone has bought an extra.

it sounded like he was planning on pressing more.

What's all on that 45?

guessing it's this?

I think its called Drone Schlager

Yeah, Blinkgürtel/Drone Schlager and it's on Steve's new label, Vampire Blues.








They didn't have any for sale at the show in Tilburg last weekend. :(
Actually they only had t-shirts in size "S", so I assume they had run out of merch completely. Would be nice if they pressed a few more.


Really enjoyed the show; the songs do indeed sound a bit more "rock" with Steve Shelley on drums and the drums were pretty loud in the mix too, but that's not a bad thing.

the 7" is now for sale in the store

So it's $6 online but £10 at the gigs? Glad I didn't buy it now.

"You can download a not so perfect rip (few cracks, couple of skips) from this blog:"

Legit, high-quality download $2 here:

^^Hurray!

I ordered the 7-inch plus the last two Sensational Fix zines that I didn't yet have.


I'll remove the link to the not so perfect and not so legit one.

i got the 7" today with the digital download but the tracks will only play in iTunes for me and not winamp, wtf....?

I got my 7" a couple of days ago but I haven't tried the download card yet. I'll do that now and let you know the results.

Same for me... doesn't play in winamp but works in quicktime. It's because they're using the Apple lossless codec.

You can get it to play in winamp though, if you update to the latest version and then download the winamp essentials pack here:

worked for me anyway... sounds killer!

ok, thanks.

You can also convert ALAC to whatever format you desire using foobar2000 with the ALAC plugin. See:

I got the 45 as well. I really love it. SS has done justice to the NEU sound.

west coast dates please

did i sleep through it or something?

There's an interview in one of the UK music monthlies this month - Uncut, I think.

that 7" is one of the best records of the year

today Thursday 25th
They will be playing in Buenos Aires @Samsung Studio.....

I 've already seen Shelley this year when he played with Christina Rosenvinge to tell you the truth that was boring....

I was only there to see Shelley....since the last time I saw a SY member was in 2004....

and Mark Ibold I saw him recently when Pavement finished their reunion thing on monday here in BA

cheers!

of course this presentation suits more to me!

I saw this earlier this year. Fucking hell!! What an amazing experience to experience the motorik rhythm coming alive.
