Anyone remember... (or the 'I've listened to some shit in my days' thread) - Page 4

Hey, they're one of my favorite bands ever. Why do you think I put them in here?

I'll add this gem of a 12inch to the pile. One of the greatest records ever made, and only three songs! Two selections below.

BIRDMEN OF ALKATRAZ, from Italy:

it's funny you should mention them being a favorite as I was going to ask you what you thought in a (soon to be released) pm as (bits of) Salamander remind me of (bits of) The Darkside.

I (still) listen to The Darkside (almost) weekly...they are the reason I love The Spacemen3.

it'a criminal that they should be mentioned in this thread.

Savage Clone · 03.24.2011, 03:05 PM

I got into the Darkside when they came out because of the S3 connection. I was lucky enough to have found about about S3 when they were still happening.

There are a couple of groups from here that are VERY Darkside-ish sounding. Flavor Crystals for one.

floatingslowly · 03.24.2011, 03:08 PM

does buying Recurring on it's release date count?

it doesn't. does it?

Savage Clone · 03.24.2011, 03:10 PM

Not unless you were excited that it was the "new Spacemen 3 album" you had been waiting for, and were a little disappointed with some of the songs.

floatingslowly · 03.24.2011, 03:42 PM

yes, but it was tempered by the fact that they had already broken up.

once, while mindmelting on hallucinagenic drugs at 2:30am, The Darkside's Waiting for the Angels came on the radio. the DJ mentioned the relationship to the Spacemen3 and I bought the entire catalog the next day.

on a side note: this DJ now lives in OKC and tried several times to get a radio station off the ground (the spy). the station had Tyson Meade of the Chainsaw Kittens as a DJ and still stands as one of the best radio stations I've ever listened to. OKC---huh---go figure. inb4 John Peel.

Glice · 03.24.2011, 03:52 PM

John Peel wasn't a radio station - he was the only worthwhile thing on a radio station (Mary-Anne Hobbes/ Andy Kershaw not withstanding).

inb4 non-hilarious comeback smugly delivered in some hysterical veneer of humour.

Glice · 03.24.2011, 03:53 PM

Also, tl;dr - floatingslowly is a prick.

floatingslowly · 03.24.2011, 04:47 PM

The Late Great Sir Peel began his radio DJ career at the (aptly call-signed) KOMA radio station in OKC. to this day, they are playing the same set-lis......ooh yawn...almost fell asleep there...set-list.

so, cunt off, sausage-bagger.

Glice · 03.24.2011, 05:12 PM

floatingslowly · 03.24.2011, 07:06 PM

I've been banned from ever playing that song (again).

cockblocked my irl trolling.

Glice · 03.24.2011, 07:28 PM

Can I recommend this? Same people behind it, far, far more horrendous.

jon boy · 03.24.2011, 07:39 PM

i remember ultrasound had a massively obese singer who was emotional a lot of the time.

the ikara cult · 03.26.2011, 06:13 PM

Cornershop

They are so many streets ahead of every band mentioned in this thread (by me at least), and theyre still going, but they get unfairly forgotten in my humble opinion. A really great band

Glice · 03.26.2011, 06:16 PM

Yeah! I seem to remember Clone was a fan of their pre-Brimful of Asha stuff. Didn't realise they were still going.

the ikara cult · 03.26.2011, 06:32 PM

yeah, Brimful of Asha was when i was 13 or so, but i always remembered Sleep on the left side being the quiet follow up song that didnt get alot of play but i liked more. I think that and the original "slow" version of Brimful of Asha were big in starting me liking indie music.

They did THIS GEM in 2002, but again i didnt explore more once i heard it. Theyre such an unassuming band they got subsumed by the hype machine.

I feel bad discussing them in a thread in which i have also discussed Intentions of an Asteroid...

SonicBebs · 03.27.2011, 01:14 PM

6music had a thing on Screamadelica this evening

tunes sounded nice with the sunshine

Now, Gomez - have they aged well or have I just got into the weekend blues warrior phase of waiting to die?

The Coral, anyone?

The Coral...oh jeez, I remember when every music press outlet was calling them the next big thing, and I was wondering what they were hearing and I wasn't...then it seemed everyone agreed with me.

Other not-so next big things (judge for yourself how "underrated" they were)

Abandoned Pools
Kinesis
Head Automatica
Leisureworld (maybe not a "next big thing" per se, but I remember Music Choice's Alternative Rock channel played this a ton in 2002/2003...and bad as it it may be, I kinda wish I had written this song, if only for the riff)
The Music
Dirty Vegas
Dragpipe (somewhat NSFW)
Vaux
Pepper (note: many of you will NOT like this)
The Secret Machines
The Vines (yeah, I know they're still around, but to the average music listener they belong in the "remember them"/"where are they now" file)
Kasabian (sorry UK boardies)
Fischerspooner

I saw this thread earlier...just didn't reply 'til now.

jon boy · 04.01.2011, 01:19 AM

anyone remember:

i hated them.
