  1. Did you grab that on the body/thou tour? Couldnt go and was bummed. Been trying to track that record down and its been sold out on like 6 different sites.

     

    Gilead should have it when they put up their distro again after their fest on like the 25th. Robo would be getting copies eventually too, I'd imagine.

  2. Converge variant of Dropdead split: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171384956285

    Right Away Great Captain: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171384948080

    Saddest Landscape - After the Light release show: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171384968845

     

    Final day. No bids on Saddest Landscape (which is gorgeous) and I may have the most secure box ever for shipping RAGC. Converge/Dropdead is just unique and pretty. Hate that I need to get rid of these records, honestly.

  3. I need to get back in touch with my old high school art teacher. I keep thinking it would be fun to do a talk or demo since I've graduated uni. Been feeling bummed lately though, so my consistency has suffered. Need to force myself into the groove again of drawing daily. Only working when "inspired" doesn't pay the bills, unfortunately.

  4. Hmm. Think I'd want to limit myself to four total and have each be in a different color scheme. I like how you can see songs related through color. I think I'm looking forward to Empty on the Inside, Coral Blue, and either No Light Escapes or Shame in the Way. It would be nice to get Precipice as a header piece, but I'd be stretching myself just buying three more prints unless this series is sold over a long period. I envy people who could manage the subscription. They are getting a hell of a lot of some of Jacob's finest work so far.

  5. Just to bring this back up (sorry, I'm not just Larry bashing I promise) I have been listening to a lot of Pelican recently and here is my take on it.

    Early stuff (basically everything before City of Echos) has a sort of lazy feel to to, almost like everyone in the band is a bit behind, I know this isn't possible but I'm not a professional reviewer of music and not really sure how else to put it. The drumming matches the rest of the music well though and I am a fan of pretty much all of this era Pelican. Then City... came along and it was the first album that to me the drumming on sounded poor. There are some really interesting things going on in that album but there are a few (a few too many) times where the drumming will make me cringe a bit. Since that we have had WWACTN which I'm listening to now, the drumming is much sharper. I read an interview with Larry where he said he had been working hard since he got slated for City and I really think you can hear the improvement here. I never really gave WWACTN that much time when it came out but it is a really good album. Forever Becoming certainly has a different flavour to it, a bit faster and I feel an extension of the difference between earlier work and WWACTN, the drumming on it works well and I can't hear anything that immediately jumps out as 'poor'.

     

    TLDR Old stuff is good, City of Echos makes my cringe, everything since is different to old stuff but still good.

    This seems like the best assessment I've seen.
