Neanderthal Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'll have to wait until 2016 to order them, but damn. As I slowly dwindle my collection, I feel like the Swans discography is something I'll want to take to my grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Essentially all orders from Young God are signed by Gira, for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHerbalLife Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Anyone looking to get the self-titled 12" you can do so for $10.33 through GileadMedia's new site. 19% discount with the code erodingprices. There was a discount for the Love Of Life boxset as well but those sold out already http://www.erodingwinds.com/product/swans-swans-12/ radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleheks94 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Anyone having noise issues with their pressings, specifically Love of Life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Apparently there's standalone releases coming of White Light and Love of Life. Might be of interest for those who didn't want to spend the dollars and only wanted/needed one of the two. edit: Since these have originally been released last year, this might not be news to most of you. They're seeing release next month in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Well that's shitty. I always try to research a bit more into whatever facts I can before jumping to any kind of conclusion or forming an early stance, but rumor or truth that's a pretty horrible accusation.

Stress On The Sky Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 So bummed out about this. The only thing that struck me as off in Grimm's statement was the weird clichéd "I'm gonna make you a star!" quote which sounds so artificial I can't imagine anyone who's not in a poorly written book/play/movie saying it but it is waaaaaaaaaay too early to be sure (if anyone ever can be) of what actually happened. I'd love someone to be able to empirically prove this allegation was false but in the mean time I'm just bummed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fys77 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Really upset about the accusation. I have the upmost respect for him and his work. We need more artists in the world like Michael Gira. Hopefully we get to the bottom of what actually happened soon and this is proven to not be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellowtooth Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 did you guys see what Gira's wife posted on his Facebook? honestly, I believe them. something just seems off about the nature of the accusation and even the post she posted.

hyperg1ant Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In the accusation post the girl quotes that Gira say this: ""I'm gonna make you a star, Larkin." That feels so fake, never in my life I would think that Gira could say that dumb-cliché phrase like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't even think actual sex offenders use cliché lines like that. That's some shit that an antagonist says in a movie while he starts to unbuckle his belt right before the hero kicks the door in and saves the day.

kevbayer Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 the #Kesha part makes me think this person is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm not gonna pretend that listening to the guy's music makes me know him at all, but I always assumed he was a pretty standup person. His art has always displayed a deep appreciation for women that I was able to relate to as a man raised by a single mother. Not siding with either party at this point though. Innocent until proven guilty on both sides as far as I am concerned. I don't even think actual sex offenders use cliché lines like that.Hey man, casting couches exist. I believe this accusation very loosely ties into that singer Kesha's legal battle right now and I believe that the Dr. Luke chode actually did tell her that. I work directly with sex offenders every day and they'll tell anyone what they want to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowtooth Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I work directly with sex offenders every day and they'll tell anyone what they want to hear. in that case, all he needed to say was "we'll repress 'The Great Annihilator', baby." mygodimsosorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
