Rock, in all shapes and sizes (24 Viewers)

[Stevie]

That album was at their absolute peak, though it borrowed from many of the great EPs that preceded it.

I confess that I was not as convinced by their recent m b v release, despite Kevin Shields' legendary perfectionism. Isn't Anything isn't bad either, but an evolving step in their sound. But Kevin Shields did great things for the Lost in Translation soundtrack, IMO.

Yeah i agree with everything you said but one thing i have to confess i have never seen Lost in Translation and i am a massive Bill Murray fan :embaressed:

Btw, I already mentioned Odio Paris a couple pages back that does a great MBV homage. Another of my favorites from South America that has done the same is Medialunas.

Interestingly they're a two-piece band that sings in English and sometimes Spanish, but yet live in Portuguese-speaking Porto Allegre, Brazil.

Great stuff like this:

This song here is just a blatant MBV rip-off, but done lovingly :

Here's their full album Intropologia from 2012 (great, btw):

I liked MVB quite a lot.

Yeah, alternative rock and modern rock, etc. This is why I'm glad subgenres exist. "Goth" music is similar. You could go to one goth club and it'd be playing deathrock, post-punk and classic industrial. Then go to another and it'd be EBM-heavy.

What did you make of the "punk is/is not dead" debate? I was always on the "is not" side, but that it was just a matter of not enough people being educated what it really is.

Punk's not dead as long as I'm alive.

 

[Ragazza]

Punk's not dead as long as I'm alive.

Word.

 

[IliveForJuve]

Word.

Having said that, I think you would relate to this song. I know I do.

 

[Salvo]

At the drive in is fantastic for that sort of alternative, punk style. Amazing band. Sad they split up. But they did give us the Mars Volta because of it. Antemasque their new project is pretty good as well.

 

[Salvo]

For me, it wasn't until Kid A that I thought they started charting real new territory though. And I still like Kid A >>> than OK Computer.

Man, they love singing about lesbians.

I done it really enjoyed it. I would of watched it sooner if i had of known of Kevin Shields' involvement. The soundtrack really took the movie to another level. Another movie i love with a similar soundtrack is I Melt With You. Great movie and great cast with Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven and Rob Lowe. Very Dark movie that slipped under the radar.

Isn't there a statue of Phil in Dublin?

Wouldn't people just know who he is without even trying?

There is a statue in the middle of Dublin. I bet if you asked teenagers who walk past it every day who he is they wouldn't know.

@swag now this is more like it. @PostIronic watch and learn, baby.

I found the Jasper Wrath album yesterday, in a local record shop. Had never heard of the band before but love these two songs in particular.

My favourite new solo artist at the moment. Some of his work his genius. never like his first album but his Burgh Island EP and his new album is some of the best new music i have heard for a long time.

That was amazing!
