mrewest Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hey guys I wrote a paper once on what it means to be a pretentious douche bag and my prof said IT WAS THE BEST PAPER EVER WRITTEN IN HIS 50 YEARS OF TEACHING. Might be the most ridiculous post I've ever read on these boards. These post-rock related threads have always contained tame, enjoyable discussions so for this tool bag Pianu to come here & taint that kind of sucks. No one was calling you a "fucking moron" for your post. You could have easily tried to defend it without sounding like a piece of shit. Sure, you may not have convinced anyone (because Toe is NOT ever even in the realm of what I consider emo music...YES I'VE SEEN THEM LIVE), but maybe you could have left here with a little respect. drds89, Derek™ and Shelby 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thank you, 14 year-old YouTuber who "loves the Beatles despite my age" This joke. I like this joke. I want to shake this joke's hand. I would buy this joke a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFrosted Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Sad I missed the yellow but 180g black is just fine by me. If anyone doesn't want their yellow in three months I guess hit me up. Just gonna ignore all this youtube comment stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedumb Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 math rock ≠ emo I would like to piggyback the emo argument and say that while toe's music has elements of both emo and math rock, it is neither. It's clearly Norwegian death metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNstuff Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I got the 180G Black because it's the most emo. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm sure there will be more chances for Yellow down the road without having to pay any flippers... just keep your notification on TS and this thread. And thanks to VC for the good chuckle on the "toe is emo" diversion -- added a few days to my life, I hope rynflnnry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucleus Sests Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Rather have people like what they like than be bandwagon jumpers who genuinely feel nothing for the music. Fuckin audio sociopaths. You might want to get your hyperbole-detector looked at, I think it's on the fritz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymond00 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 So wrecked that I'm going to miss the Portland date. Working in southern Oregon for the summer and am scheduled for Sunday. Tempted to drive the 6 hours to Seattle on Tuesday. Who knows when they'll be back stateside again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Would be awesome if they did an Audiotree session while they're stateside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topshelfsquad Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 actually, before they got signed to Topshelf, i NEVER heard that description used for them. It was always post rock. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this. so annoying, haha! I GET a lot of our bands that are more known can definitely be defined with this term, but it gets thrown around for the vast majority of our roster [simply by association] too loosely. toe is not an emo band. They have strong connections to the late 90's Chicago math rock / emo / instrumental scene and so I think that's mostly where that idea is rooted — but yeah, toe is a truly genre-less band and borrow elements of sooooo many genres effortlessly, tastefully and in wildly innovative ways. the actual 100% best band to ever exist ever ever ever lol <3 throwgncpr and rynflnnry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Boring_Story Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Just saw these guys for the first time last night in San Francisco and wow. I was completely blown away. I can't wait for this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Wonder when they'll be in the US next. Don't think I'll be able to make my date later this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I just wish they'd play a show in Texas. No luck both times they've come to the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm guessing topshelfsquad has never seen toe live :D topshelfsquad and batman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Kevin is such a poser, what would he know? Real talk though, my buddy who listens to exclusively EDM garbage met Kevin from Topshelf randomly in Boston and I was super jealous.

Derek™ Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm guessing topshelfsquad has never seen toe live :D It's alright. He probably wrote a thesis that received praise by a guy who interviewed Merzbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
