The best thing I've ever boned to was Dead Elvis and his One Man Grave. Serious garage rock revivalism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BZJ7exRBWs

I mean, this is decent and I'd likely enjoy a live gig...but just makes me want to listen to the guys these guys are rippin' off instead.

Funny thing is, I've never deliberately put on any music to bone to. Not that I haven't fucked to music...it's just never been deliberate.

The "now" is easy to experience. I like old music, old books, cars, houses, whatever...because they bring me some place, at least partially, that I'll never be able to fully experience. In this sense, the old will always be new for me. Ive spent hours seeking out old bands that were doing stuff way ahead of their time, at a time when whatever they were doing wasn't popular. It doesn't matter what one is doing today, because an audience can be found for virtually anything. Next to everything is so easily accessible no matter how obscure it might claim to be.The new is just...well...right outside my window or another Youtube click away.

Shit, I even wander around old cemeteries from time to time, checking out old/interesting gravestones sometimes dating back well over a hundred years for the sole purpose of going home and seeing if any information at all can be found about them online.

Why do ya think people love dead rock stars so much?

sonic youth is really fucking boring though

foreverasskiss doing gangsta. lol

The internet you is more than enough for me to come up with an accurate psychological profile and help your internal turmoil, sweet cheeks.

whatever Hayden... go listen to silver rocket some more and come back later

old music is cool for being old, but new bands really have perfected their formula. old garage bands were limited by their reliance on blues chords and other musical devices that were evidence of having no like-minded influencers. modern garage bands have so much history behind them, they can make much more experimental, innovative, and interesting music. sure dead elvis has an influence he's pretty devoted to, but ty segall or carbonas or heavy cream or bass drum of death have a sound that couldn't exist thirty years ago

^ Dood...sounds like you'd love the Pitchfork line-up....


I'm only really going for Godspeed You! Black Emperor and ohneotrix POint Never...

Everything else is icing on that...delicious cake.

Me and Julian love Lydia but prefer Sonic Youth by a mile.

^ as everyone shoould





Hey cakes. What icing do you have?

Holy shit, Pitchfork... Dirty Projectors! Japandroids! Sleigh Bells! The Men! Ty Segall! Thee Oh Seas!

Dude, can come and crash with you? I'm cuddly as fuck.

It's art. Perfect formulas are all a matter of personal taste.

Ever listen to Taj Majal Travelers? I've let several friends who are into modern drone/experimental stuff listen to them, and all have a hard time believing these guys began in '69. Not everyone was reliant on blues or strict structures/etc. Radical stuff has always existed. Most don't dig deep enough to find it, however, because newer stuff is often time much more accessible.

Only if you bring drugs, lots of 'em.


I'm talkin' about heroin, and the cocaine.

I LIKE CHOCOLATE!

Chocolate-heroin will hafta to do... I don;t have the cashmoney for cocaine

Slow day at work?

Fast day at school?

the music that induces sleep thread reminded me of this. around the same date. it pretty hardcore in here like a pleasant encore goodbye to the old days. see, we can all joke around and not get butt hurt. i hope.

i should be doing something else with my time like playin texas hold'em. but it's a little late for that now.

Just bought my first Lydia-record in January (Taste Our Voodoo). I have really liked it! It´s a pity there was no chance to see Lydia in Kuudes Aisti-festival-last summer (She performed in a small club right after CLM).
