  1. I always wanted to hear what this album sounded like without a blanket over everything, so I'm excited to get this. There's definitely some bands with a sound that the OG production would have worked for - maybe even added to! - but when you've got tracks of fiddly guitars, loads of layers, and percussion everywhere, it was such a weird choice.

    Can someone redo ETID's Gutter Phenomenon next please, would love to hear that without the mud guitar tone

  2. I finally got round to signing up the Vault as I was paying £19.99 a month for Tidal anyway, so this way I'm basically making money*. The customer service folks were incredibly prompt & polite . Not blown away by the Primus reveal (naturally I'd have loved the Sleep LP I just missed out on), but it'll be a fun curio even if I won't spin them often.

    Not to get my hopes too up, but these Locust and Some Girls releases have me crossing fingers for some Blood Brothers reissues

    I've been listening to their last 3 albums and nothing else since I read this comment. Was lucky to stumble on  a mint copy of Young Machetes at a charity shop in 2015 or so, but I MUST own BPIB

  4. I maintain if the order of release had been STWHA - GS - OAW, they'd have been a much bigger band. Energetic pop punk bangers - big radio songs - slower, more mature critic-bait. Would've picked up far more listeners than they lost. Obvs in this alternate timeline we don't get Rob's world class bass playing for Spoon, and James Dewees would probably be dead.

  5. Got my Ex Lives, I don't know why I didn't already have it. Think I bought the CD on release day to play in the car and just never got around to the LP. Just need the box set albums now. 

    Hope Keith gets some help, there's no way the three non-Buckleys are on Jordan's side 'because Keith got sober and they don't like it' or whatever nonsense I've half-read. Don't really get why he'd have to travel separately, Andy's been straight edge forever so it can't be some toxic peer pressure environment where the sober aren't welcome. That's the other thing, I can't imagine not being on whichever side Andy's on - nicest guy in the world.

  6. Only a bargain in a relative sense really, but any pressing of The Chariot's One Wing that isn't used & expensive on ebay is good news: https://mnrkheavy.uk/collections/vinyl/products/one-wing-lp

    £20's a bargain for that band's swansong. 

     

    365Games have reupped their "2 for £XX", with different tiers of pricing. Some RSD leftovers in there, and I was pleased with Higher Power and Bright Eyes for £20. Free, tracked postage too.

    I just want this band back. Nothing Jason has done since has even come close to capturing the magic he had with letlive. 

    If you told me there'd be a band with Letlive/Chariot DNA and the Night Verses dude on drums, and that I would not only not dig it but actively dislike it , I would assume one of us was on bath salts.
