the night chicago died

[QUOTE=YDload;16537497]the first one i mentioned, or the debut album?

either way i think im more inclined to Anahata after listening to samples. has better beats! but the debut is also cool, more like slint/rodan[/QUOTE]

Tropics and Meridians. They're all good though.


I recommend elim and bukowski check out Le Volume Courbe's [I]I Killed My Best Friend[/I]

i'll check it out

tropics and meridians [I]is[/I] good

too late i got anahata and its v. good

[b]I Kick It Root Down
I Put My Root Down[/b]

[QUOTE=Anxious;16538456]I recommend elim and bukowski check out Le Volume Courbe's [I]I Killed My Best Friend[/I][/QUOTE]

i saw her supporting My Bloody Valentine, she was amazing. very nice looking girl as well, and one of the backing band was possibly the best looking girl i've ever seen. anyway, my friend bought that album and i ripped it - took my head a while to get round it, but it's excellent. Keven Shields wrote some songs for it as well apparently.

you know of any similar music, man? i think that's Le Volume Courbe's only album from the basic research i did, but anything you know that's similar would be great.

i've been digging Rodan's [I]Rusty[/I], and also their [I]Peel Session[/I]...i didn't realise just how outstanding their drummer was before listening to the Peel Session, but turns out he's insanely talented.

Rusty is such an amazing album. my favorite is The Everyday World Of Bodies, the dynamics on that song are sublime.

Yeah, that song is sublime. I love the whole album, but that song is a different level. Just genius.

absolutely. if you haven't already, you should check out Shipping News, they have a really similar general sound and approach.

shipping news are ****ing awesome

i've heard their album [I]Save Everything[/I], which is great. Aren't there members of Rodan in the Shipping News? Maybe I just made that up, but I'm sure I read it sometime.

you can see a Shipping News poster at one point in High Fidelity as well...i watched that film last night and that stuck in my mind so there!

yeah thats true

Very Soon, and in Pleasant Company is very good. check it out

Quiet Victories and How to Draw Horses are particularly good fom that

i shall check it out

Hoover - [I]Lurid Transversal of Route 7[/I]

loving this a lot over the last month, they're now one of my favs on Dischord. Some of this is quite similar to the style Rodan played, not quite as technical though and very much influenced by Fugazi. One of the members went on to join June of 44 as well.

[QUOTE=okay;16539485]Rusty is such an amazing album. my favorite is The Everyday World Of Bodies, the dynamics on that song are sublime.[/QUOTE]

i think Jungle Jim has the best dynamics, which is why its my favorite song on the album. it's like the precursor to Circle Takes The Square

Harvey Milk - Life...the Best Game in Town
Off Minor - Some Blood

Michio Kurihara - [I]Sunset Notes
[/I]OOIOO - [I]Gold and Green[/I]

big business - head for the shallow

The only thing that is similar in any way would be Cat Power's [I]Moon Pix[/I] or a Bobb Trimble album.

They both have that dreamy folky atmosphere.

I've never been able to find anything by Rodan, any links?

Also, what Unwound album should I start with?

HEALTH - [I]HEALTH[/I]
Burial - [I]Untrue[/I]

You should start with [I]Leaves Turn Inside You[/I] because it is their most accessible and memorable. If you like any part of it, then listen to [I]Repetition [/I]because every other album sounds like it, except the greatness is not as concentrated or representative. Repetition was the prime Unwound sound, until [I]LTIY[/I].

I should dl the Peel Session.

the shangri las - myrmidons of melodrama
guided by voices - mag earwhig!

listen to [I]The Future of What[/I]

Every Unwound album is worth listening to. I'd start with Repetition though, if only because that was my first.

I'll upload everything by Rodan soon, I highly recommend the Peel Session.

digging...

Pavement - first 3 albums.

lovely.

the pogues - peace and love

how did this happen

Amon Duul II- [I]Wolf City[/I]

new plastic ideas
challenge for a civilized society
unwound
the future of what

i've only listened to the top two :cool:

Which is totally fine tbh

yeah, top two is easily the best but i would heartily recommend fake train to anyone

id say New* Plastic Ideas is probably the next thing someone should listen to but I mean Fake Train is a good album too

*lol

band of susans - love agenda

anyone that likes sonic youth should listen to this

i think challenge and s/t go lower than future of what and im not oo familiar w/ new plastic ideas, fake train or singles history... but future of what rocks wtf

i'll have to give it more chances then. i was generally not impressed, and it taught me that everything the band does isn't gold
