*must spread rep around*

I actually put on “From the Lion’s Mouth” after seeing this. First time listening to it in at least a couple years, but it still holds up, and makes me want more. from the start.

Great album and band to talk about in the context of Joy Division and Wire and so on. Though not a band you hear about as often. I guess I’m not really sure why that is, now that I think about it.
I think I heard one of their songs on an episode of a relatively high profile TV show — maybe “The Americans”? — at one point, but otherwise... legitimately underrated and often overlooked group.

When digging through a box of noise tapes at the record store, the brown paper bags always catch my eye and rarely disappoint:

No no, not better than Sister or Daydream, but DEFINITELY in contention for top 3. Insanely great album.

Some of the band’s most underrated moments are on that thing.
Like “Brave Men Run.” I’ve requested that song — shouted it out to the band — at numerous Sonic Youth concerts and fans have looked at me like I’m a crazy person or they don’t know what I’m doing. Like, “Whatareyoudoingwewantkissabilityyyyy!!!” Never heard them actually play it, I don’t think. Not in person.

“I’m Insane”/“Justice is Might” too. That shit can hold its own against the best back to back tracks on the big three albums.

I feel like there are a lot of people who kind of only pretend to like this album, but don’t actively listen to it, which is a crime.

Fuck now I’m listening to it.

Cool, I don't know many people who'd claim that. But I tend to agree. It might not be as polished as some of their later outings, but damn the atmosphere is absolutely amazing on this one and it's so distinct. One of those albums I keep returning to. Think it's fair to say it's my favorite by the Youff. Great choice!


PS: I kind of blame this album for my obsession with seamless segues/transitions between songs.

Aye, they're great. Still have a bit of catching up to do in their extensive discography. But everything I've heard so far was top-notch.

Pro tip: when picking an album to listen to while you walk, don't choose Mellon Collie.

Yours, someone who probably has heatstroke.

Why, thank you!

Or alternatively: The fuck!?

Whichever way to take it.

it's snowing so I'm listening to Jane's Addiction Summer Time Rolls

and I've been wearing my SY beanie to work all week long :)

Sitting at some Café. They apparently have a YouTube list running that tends to repeat itself via suggestions and autoplay. Not that I mind much though - it's mostly a set of 4 or 5 Talking Heads songs and Born Under Punches just so happens to be among them. Every now and then it would veer into some other Funk-inspired outfits. And then there was Bo Rhap of course, cause it's everywhere. I wonder how often I' m gonna hear This Must Be The Place today.
