I don't really like Tortoise at all. Am something is wrong of me?

Did you listen to [I]TNT[/I]?

If you don't like them after that, yes.

Yeah, I never really dug tnttbh

Get that one other album of theirs....Millions Living or something like that. It's much easier to get into.

If you've heard both, how do they compare/which one is better? I'm about to download that one, all I've heard is [I]TNT[/I].

Millions Living is better, but not by a substantial amount. They're very different in atmosphere, and both are amazing in their own right.

my friend and i like to refer to post rock as postman rock.

Woah-ho! I see what you did there!

[QUOTE=Kayetan;14154021]Yeah, I never really dug tnttbh[/QUOTE]

standards is a pretty good album. check out the video for seneca on youtube. pretty damn cool.

[QUOTE=Kage;14157613]Woah-ho! I see what you did there![/QUOTE]

Lol, Kage I love you.



I'm going to see Isis on March 27th, and I"m going to have to drive all the way to freaking Lawrence, KS to do it. That's like a 4 hour drive, and I don't exactly have the most reliable car. I'm gonna try my damndest though!

Do it

Isis are godly live

[QUOTE=Concubine;14161461]Do it

Yeah. Clearing the Eye made me ruin like 5 pairs of pants.

I'm gonna go, it's just gonna money-f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck me (and I just have to hope my car makes the trip alive).

I plan on driving like 3 hours to see them. I'm not sure whether to go to Spokane, Seattle, or Portland though. They're all about equal distances.

Go to the one with the better venue.

Yeah that would make sense but I don't know anything about venues. How would I figure this out? I'm thinking the Spokane show will have the least number of rabid fans, so I might have a chance to meet Isis or something. That'd be schweet.

See if you can find pictures on the internet or something and see which ones have a sweet stage set up and cool lights or something.

Also, rabid fans are good because it kicks the energy up and you can feel the love in the room, y'know?

I'll bring the heat if necesarry. Maybe round up 3 friends, get I S I S painted on our chests, and J E S U on our backs or some lame crap. :lol:


And have I asked you about Zozobra before?

'Sup.
Sleepy that website is fookin' great. Thanks.

Been getting into Hella, Four Tet, Tera Melos, Russian Circles, Battles and Kayo Dot from the list, very awesome bands.

Are there any other albums/bands on that site that anyone thinks are essential to listen to(regardless of whether the links work or not)?
I'm quite the nub when it comes to these things, you see.

EDIT: Oh and Kayo Dot + Diablo II = winning

Ive been listening to Kayo Dot's Choirs of the Eye and good god, its one of the most brilliant things ive heard in a long time.
i have Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue but i dont think its as good.
i want some maudlin of the well, but i havent been able to find any torrents.

Damn Dirty Apes, Threemovements, and Ochre are all very good, underappreciated bands listed on that blog. I'm glad you're liking it, though. When in doubt, just find a name that interests you and download it.

How is Hella, btw? I haven't heard them yet.

Hella is hard to get into, and a few of their releases are pretty damn terrible unless you're a big fan of noise. They're not post-rock at all, at least in the sense that this thread focuses on. I really love them though. Get Hold Your Horse Is to start off. It's a friggin masterpiece (although most people here would beg to differ).

I listen to a good amount of Drone and Ambient stuff, so it probably can't be all bad.

I'll take a look into the album you mentioned, thanks. :thumb:

Drone and Ambient with capital D's and A's, of course.

[QUOTE=Kage;14217619]Drone and Ambient with capital D's and A's, of course.[/QUOTE]

And kage with a lower-case k.

Oh no, it's the opposite of ambient, if anything.

Biblical Violence, Ghost Dance, Brown Metal, and City Folk Sitting are the best songs, try them out first.

Believe me, you're probably gonna hate this on first listen, so keep an open mind.

I like noise, maybe I'd enjoy Hella.

Maybe.

Why don't we both download it, and lend our extremely elitist and unimportant opinions to mx so all can follow in our footsteps of musical taste?

:p

And then once again, I can be the only person on the boards who likes a certain band. Yay...

That's what you're getting yourself into...

This is the gayest song I've ever heard.

Good thing sleepy says your views are extremely elitist and unimportant. :)
