you can't like music and not like jesu.

conqueror is worlds better than anything justin has ever done, maybe besides side a of napalm's scum.

ohh, unless you're too cool for bands who release second albums.

atsonicpark 07.24.2007 09:34 AM

jesu are actually probably the best band currently making music.

Is there some kind of bands-who-release-more-than-one-album snobbery going on that I've missed?

I like music but have never heard a single note by Jesu. Does this qualify me as some sort of heretic?

Pookie 07.24.2007 09:42 AM

I'm worse. I like music, bought a Jesu record and promptly got shot of it. I'm due for a flogging I think.

You can't not like something you haven't heard. You're not a heretic, just underinformed.

Obviously you don't actually like music, you just think you do.

yeah,
i think bands with more than one release are overrated, especially when all the records are on the same label. That is so uncreative.

atsonicpark 07.24.2007 09:52 AM

huh

I hope that the release that you are talking about is a 7'' single, because bands that release albums are a thing of the past. Dontcha know myspace?

At the risk of sounding like a hipster, a lot of bands that were dynamite now stink. It's mainly post-punk and punker fellows that fail to capture their youthish gold inevitably.

Green Magnesium 07.24.2007 01:26 PM

Cat Power started sucking heavily once she started writing happy songs with a capable backing band and all...


Just kidding, The Greatest is probably my second favorite album of hers. I'm just surprised someone hasn't brought her up yet as people seem to think she sucks now that she wears makeup and has confidence.

And PS... Pixies may have never been great live, but Trompe Le Monde is their best album IMO. And I never have liked Bossanova.

Norma J 07.24.2007 05:02 PM

Well one band that have definitely remained consistent and were and still are dynamite is SHELLAC.

This new record is fucking fantastic. I want to stand on large buildings and shout it out for all to hear, it's that good. But then I'd probably get pissed off the mass are listening to it - 'cause I'm funny like that.

atsonicpark 07.24.2007 10:04 PM

yeah shellac are still good but nothing beats doris/wingwalker and at action park...

Norma J 07.24.2007 10:13 PM

Do you have the new Shellac on vinyl?

If so, does it come with a cd of the album too?

atsonicpark 07.24.2007 10:22 PM

i don't but it does.

Yeah to be honest, I'm sick of Beyond bashing. It's a quality album that sounds just like Dino circa bug.

Pookie 07.25.2007 05:26 AM

Anybody said Dinosaur Jr yet?

It sounds like that, but without the quality bit.

Pookie 07.25.2007 05:33 AM

And why would you want an album that belongs in 1990?
