Don’t get me wrong that Holy Fawn EP is fantastic in itself.  I was just saying that’s how much I like Spotlights to say it’s better than that.

I’m really into this new Whale Fall album.  A needed break from crescendo/Dunk-core.  Almost has a Do Make Say Think meets Spurv vibe.  

Dang I absolutely love this new Ringo Deathstarr.

Sweet thanks!

these guys and If These Trees Could Talk are my top 2 "god i hope they aren't dead" bands.  Pretty sure gates is coming back, and ITTCT just made the teaser the other day, so we'll seeeeeeee

Good excuse to get that thing that’s been sitting in your wishlist. 

I believe Don loves these guys too.  "Imprecari Island" is his favorite i believe, but my favorite is Obsidian. 

Also see this fucking band.  They are so good live 

I should probably do a better job of listening to people.  Because I totally slept on Barrows.  But holy shit.  This band is ruthless.

that's how i'm feeling as well.  Not enough liquidity to burn on albums I hope will be good haha

How tf is Tennis System UK only?  That’s dumb as hell.  Well, ISO for sure.

Apparently a new Tennis System “Mini LP” is coming on Record Store Day.

Dude.  I’m with wisdom on this one.  Think you’re more mad than you should be lol.  In fact everything they said sounds like everything most of us say here!  It’s pretty clear who they are talking about (& for the record, it’s all The Life & Times dude & Mario is pretty much just saying “yeah yeah”.   
 
First off, the guy from Life & Times is CLEARLY an “older” guy.  It should be zero surprise at all what he says.  And their music was definitely an odd choice for Post Fest imo.  Also, he’s clearly singling out only SOME of the bands.  He compliments Mario for “having vocals” so I think you can remove Circus Trees & Holy Fawn from the venting.  I’m sure he was speaking about Ranges, Wander, PFS, I/O, End of the Ocean & Driving Slow Motion.  Those are the instrumental bands that can all be lumped into the more “basic post-rock”.  While I think End of the Ocean is top tier live, I’ll never consider them “ground-breaking”.  And I personally loved Driving Slow Motion but definitely don’t take offense if someone says they are “cliche”.  
 
And the 78:00 venting is just about “bands being too serious”.  Nothing malicious there at all.
 
I know you’re the resident Ranges & PFS fanboi 😉 but I really think it wasn’t a mud slinging vent sesh here.  Just an older dude sounding like EXACTLY how I’d expect & commenting on how cookie cutter those bands sound.  And his buddy Mario casually agreeing with his points.  
 
I’d hug ya & say “Everything will be ok” if I could haha ❤️

wow that was really good, but over way too soon!!!

Nah I actually crave McDonalds once in a while

Who knows.  All they do is post stupid tree photos every couple months on IG & literally every time people reply with “NeW aLbUm????!!!11” even though they’ve done that for like 5 years lol

Has anyone actually ever seen tug and ckraus333 in the same room together?

Looks like no tour pressing for the upcoming West Coast run if any of you were waiting on it:
 
 
 

Collapser tho

Keenspian.

Holy shit this is awesome.  Thanks for posting.  It’s on Spotify.  Basically 2 songs & an interlude.  But I’ve been dying for that studio Blood Pact since seeing at Post Fest.  Song of the damn year already.

I heard if there is an RSD and no Bowie release that’s actually how WW3 starts.

How come no one forced me to listen to Glacier before today?  Sweet mother of all that’s heavy ‘No Light Ever’ is my shit.  That closer is a friggin behemoth.
