I’ve only stumbled upon it by accident while googling things, or seen screenshots of the endless genre tags on twitter. I promise we’re better off. Seems like a the festering wound from which all the dumbest shit oozes. Seems like a great place to find every album with strings on any song categorized as “avant-chamber-pop” or whatever, and for people doing bad imitations of what they think music reviews should sound like. |

It's like imdb for music. Useful, because it is extensive and has a high amount of interactivity. But due to its popularity/mass-appeal, it is also a host for some of the more assinine developments on the net. The observation about the reviews is astute. Loads of cynical non-reviews too that say nothing about the music itself and just serve to stroke some doucherino's ego. However, the personalized lists-option is quite nice. And you have a great overview on the many projects of individual musicians. And that goes for pretty much any genre. I'd lie if I said I didn't find some great gems on there. |
a bit of pérez prado for a mellow waker-upper

Well done. But it feels like you and I are holding remote controls, trying all sorts of weird button combinations in order to find Easter fucking eggs on a DVD or Blu-Ray disc. Only less fun: we're basically attempting to map the inner logic of this whole fuckup. And I'm tired of it. I'm dead tired of this meaningless bullcrap: ![]() And I'm sick of seeing this even though I know there ARE new posts: ![]() I'm gonna keep posting on the torrents thread (as long as it doesn't break for good, evidently) because it's a neat way to organize shit for myself, but in terms of using the board to communicate with you fine peoples, I dunno, wake me up before you go-go. :( |
(By the way, anyone who says this is inevitable when it comes to old-style boards, and therefore we should all just move on and Facemook it and/or Twatter it with a goddamn phone app, is crapping outside the bowl. There are THOUSANDS of boards like SYG out there and they still work A-OK. Just visit The Traders' Den [which, incidentally, is considerably less cool-looking than our joint here, even though it has the same features]: that thing's not broken at all. People post there all the time. This is a matter of will, and IT technician Will appears to have left the Earthlink building.)

this is the listening thread... and those are some strange records :D

Really? This is Thee Oh Sees/Oh Sees/O.C.s, probably John Dwyer’s most famous project. Check out 2013’s Floating Coffin. That one’s great. |
![]() correction: ![]() which is the CD, the LP doesn't have bonus tracks. Funnily the CD-rip includes vinyl cracklings This was such a great band, especially the first few albums, but none of you would probably like it because they sing in Dutch. Great lyrics though Lullen bij de bus, te zeiken over het kloteweer google translate that ;-D |
continuing the same
(albums are quite short anyway, punkers they are) ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() I cleaned out my cellar box the other day and finally took the box with my old vinyls upstairs that I had stored there for too long. Too long because the cellar is humid, and some of the albums especially the sleeves are moldy and stuck together. But these two still play fine! Some are relatively new, like the SY Battery Park, but never played because I hadn't had a vinyl player for years. Some are very old like the J&M Chain album that I bought when it was released in 1987. Or perhaps a few years later. Hasn't been played for years, still a fun album to hear. Also have some second hand vinyls, that I bought on a frenzy over 20 years ago. They already looked old when I bought them, now they look even more .... This one looks the worst, but heck I have no clue why I even have it: :D ![]() hahahah, just listen to this: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da |
![]() https://lungbuttermtl.bandcamp.com/album/honey rrrriiiiioooootttttggggrrrrrlllllll punkers with SY Sister era-like guitars, released on Constellation Records The Extractor EP is even better actually IMHO The drummer Joni Sadler passed away last month :(( |

While I'm sure you're very familiar with the Lightning Bolt album, it's somewhat hard to picture you as a Willie Colón kinda feller. You're way too white, dude. (I am obviously just givin' ya some trollin' shit. :D:D:D) |
