- - Jesu (http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=13838)

but what about grey machine?!

justin + dave cochrane + aaron turner + dude who plays bass in jesu who i always forget his name = a good time.

lifeline was more like an excuse to release the jarboe track, these past releases, it's like justin was going through the motions. i'm glad he's taking time off from jesu to explore other areas so he can approach jesu fresh later on.

the more i listen to lifeline, the more i think it's good (as usual, the second track is where it's at)... pale sketches isn't that great though.

i love everything they've put out pretty much, but wasn't the best show i've seen by any means.

I saw them last night, and thought much the same about the vocals. But I guess that's just how JB wants them to be - just another sound in the mix. There's something lacking in their live performances, though, but I couldn't say what. Possibly they're just too glacial, if such a thing is possible - there's quite a "just woken up" feeling to them, which doesn't really work live. Whatever, much as I love their records, I'm really not fussed about seeing them live again.

I'm getting really excited.

Sorry... I forgot that other people still have to see them on this tour.

Anyway, the merch stall had:

Conqueror CD
Silver CD
Pale Sketches CD
Sundown / Sunrise 12"
Self-Titled vinyl
some other vinyl
some other band's CD that Justin Broadrick has done a couple of remixes on
a couple of t-shirts (one white, one black)
a hoodie (black)

I hope to get the Silver CD and the hoodie.

Thanks sonicl.

I can't remember - have you heard Pale Sketches? It's my favourite Jesu recording, by a long way. You should get that, if you haven't already.

I have a spare (sealed) copy of the Pale Sketches CD if anyone's interested.

Do you accept payment by Paypal? :D

not quite, they mostly put out black metal (like sigh, nokturnal mortum and dodheimsgard) or weird shit in a prog way (like sleepytime gorilla museum and unexpect). yeah, they have some semi goth shit but it's not the bulk.

ohh they also have looooordy! on their roster.

I have heard it but it's so far my least favourite Jesu record so far. Maybe it's a grower, I don't know, but it just sounds a bit lame to me (especially compared to "Conqueror" which is my fav). Too many beats and keybords on Pale Sketches for my taste, I'd say.

yeah pale sketches kinda sucks...

anyway, since i'll probably never have another place to say this on the forum, sleepytime gorilla museum is amongst the best bands i've ever seen live.

jesu is fucking amazing. saw them live yesterday and it was a lovely expirience (also saw sunn o))), the ex and motorpsycho, fuck yes!)

how do you pronounce jesu anyways?

i think it's pronounced jeh-soo.

Well.. you could just watch a justin broaderick interview, because he namedrops jesu about 70000 times.. but...

In the US, most people seem to pronounce the word Jesu as if it were German (or Latin), with a "y" sound as the first consonant. This is not the case in Great Britain, where the word "Jesu" is pronounced with a standard English "j" sound.

Personally, I've always thought it was and always said "yay-zoo", but.. either way.

Yes, I saw them live a week ago and they sort of sucked. Nice show, but really, really boring.
