I can't stand Tortoise and all that first wave of post rock, some bands are good though (Bark P. for example) but most of them bore me to tears.

[QUOTE]has any1 heard crippled black phoenix[/QUOTE]
Yeah, [I]A Love Of Shared Disasters[/I] is a superb album.

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;14718509]Oh of course, but every genre has that. You have to remember that post rock is still relatively young, and just as every genre that is beginning to hit it big, it's going to become overcrowded with soundalikes of the founders. And just as is the case with every genre, there's still a wealth of fresh talent once you look past all of them.

I will say though, Caspian does the EITS thing better than anybody, even EITS.[/QUOTE]
I know that, but how many people associate Miasma with post rock? Not many. Post rock in its widely accepted form has ceased to actually be post rock and has become a moniker for any instrumental band with reverb pedals.

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 10:54 PM

Ah cmon now Mike, Tortoise is ****ing excellent. TNT is a masterpiece.

I see what you're saying Kage. Still, there's a plethora of innovative bands out there that [I]I[/I] would define as post rock, and I guarantee there will continue to be.

Txus 05-19-2007 10:59 PM

I find them boring as hell man. Same as Talk Talk, I never got into [I]Laughing Stock[/I]. Bark Psychosis on the other hand....[I]Hex[/I] is ****ing incredible and so is Slint's [I]Spiderland[/I].

AA-12 05-19-2007 11:00 PM

Post Rock is a genre I can't see ever dying.

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:11 PM

Now see, I find Slint to be fairly boring.

TNT just has a perfect slightly jazzy atmosphere about it. Plus the melody in Set My Face To The Hillside is delightfully moody.

Txus 05-19-2007 11:14 PM

ZOMG, Slint are incredible you fag :mad:

I guess I'll give [I]TNT[/I] another try.

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:15 PM

You should.

Oh no Slint aren't bad. I just don't find them particularly good. I don't know, maybe I'll give them another shot as well.

Txus 05-19-2007 11:18 PM

Please do so, [I]Spiderland[/I] is one of the best early Post Rock albums I've heard.

I was listening to [I]Maserati [/I]on my way home like 2 hours ago, good **** while driving.

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:20 PM

I've got Inventions For The New Season but I haven't listened to it yet.

Txus 05-19-2007 11:22 PM

Listen to it now man, it's soooooo damn good. My favorite song off that album is [I]Show Me the Season[/I]. The cover is a big plus.

Sleepy 05-19-2007 11:22 PM

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;14718632]I've got Inventions For The New Season but I haven't listened to it yet.[/QUOTE]

That's a good album.

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:23 PM

It's a decent cover, but I don't know, I've seen that sort of thing on too many other albums.

I don't really wanna listen to something new drunk, so I'll listen to it sober tomorrow.

Txus 05-19-2007 11:24 PM

Oh I see, I'm a bit high myself...and DM is keeping me awake :)

I'm not really in the mood for Post Rock now :-/

Anthony, how the **** can you write that good while drunk? :o I'm in shock!

I agree.

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:29 PM

dude I know. I realized it too many moons ago. I don't really know, I think I just type so much that it's just engrained in my mind. I can do it at normal speed too. It's weird.

Txus 05-19-2007 11:30 PM

Dude, I type a loooot believe me...and I always **** up when I'm drunk or high, it all depends on the substance :p

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:32 PM

Now high I don't do so well. because i just don't pay enough attntion. But when I'm drunk I usually do surprisingly well. I didn't even realize it until I was at a friend's computer one night when we were drinking, and he realized how fast I was typing. I guess I'm just that good.

Sleepy 05-19-2007 11:33 PM

Txus 05-19-2007 11:38 PM

I'm the other way around.

Sleepy 05-19-2007 11:38 PM

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;14718692]or the internet[/QUOTE]

or a scrotum full of kick balls, that would be neato.

i want to play pokemon really badly right now.

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:39 PM

I'm not awful high, but I always forget capitalizations and punctatuion and whatnot. I usually spell good no matter what though.

And smell good too.

Txus 05-19-2007 11:42 PM

We should all get together one day and smoke a bong or something :p

Sleepy 05-19-2007 11:43 PM

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:43 PM

Ill probably still be on probation though :( but who knows

Txus 05-19-2007 11:47 PM

CT all the way :)

Nepenthe 05-19-2007 11:49 PM

I think sometime this summer actually, but I'm not 100%. If not this summer, then christmas time.

If it's christmas time I should be off, but probably not summer. But screw it, I'll be in new york, what can my po do to me there?

Sleepy 05-19-2007 11:49 PM
