gid moaning
This week has seen me introduce a mate to the joys of the first Handsome Boy Modeling School album. It was a fixture of my stoner peak and still stands up well today.

My mate is Monty's age and is as curmudgeonly and protective of Detroit techno and 303 acid as Boyce is about garage punk and old skool hip hop.

When did you last introduce a curmudgeon to something simultaneously old and new?

ps he also quite liked Godspeed You Black Emperor!

I saw Godspeed a couple of years back. They were immensely tedious*.
'Post-rock'? Post-cock more like!!!!

PS Did I see you going on about Tortoise a while back? Their gig at the garage is the only one in my life where I walked out after 20 minutes. Total and utter shit. My mate claimed they were 'amazing' and bought me a ticket and even he agreed they were appalling.

A friend of mine played drums in a 'post rock' band, they were excellent live, but just not even close to being as good on record.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 30 Aug 2012, 9:04, Reply)

'Post rock' means literally nothing AT ALL.

You could argue that about many genre names.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 30 Aug 2012, 9:17, Reply)

Not 'sadcore' though.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 30 Aug 2012, 9:18, Reply)

I prefer 'slowcore'

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 30 Aug 2012, 9:21, Reply)

There were one or two decent post-rock albums released
But none of the bands ever really had more than one good album in them.
As a genre I think it jumped the shark about nine or ten years ago, probably around the time of the Explosions in the Sky album.

I haven't done anything like that.
I've spontaneously decided to go out tonight. There's an event on at uni, and there's 1500 people going. I'm bound to know someone there!

Now...to decide what to wear... I have it narrowed down to two dresses.
