Music Shit / Re: What music do you listen to when you get jaded with punk?

« on: November 22, 2015, 01:26:26 PM »

The moment I saw the title of this thread I immediately knew Kevin D. will post in it and I knew exactly what his post will be. And not in the good way but the predictable "guitars are awful, now I'm into techno" way.

As for topic. I never get jaded with punk because only the most boring, broken and dead-inside people get jaded with something as interesting and fun as music. There's also this thing when people suddenly can't keep up with stuff and they just decide it's a problem with the world but not themselves. That just means you're getting old. Good stuff is still getting released, you're just missing most of it.

That Floor Above LP was great btw, Kevin, great job digging that guy up. He released a good tape on NNT recently.

Pop Punk / Re: Records that lost their luster

When it comes to later DC I far prefer listening to Dismemberment Plan than Fugazi. Thank fuck The Plan didn't end up on Dischord.

Dismemberment Plan is the ur-example of abysmally bad pitchfork-approved indie. Their definition of edge was playing Jennifer Page covers.

The Oh Sees had some great tunes. Problem is, they're so spread out around all the albums with mediocre material that it becomes hard to see.

Either that's a non-answer or my reading comprehension is shit today.

On topic: Thee Oh Sees. Hard to listen to them today, except maybe Sucks Blood and some songs from their Stonehouse sessions. Master's Bedroom didn't age well.

Both, I guess? Mackaye can often be insufferably ''politicised'' but he's still better than Morrisey in that regard.

Fugazi's old stuff aged badly, Repeater and Steady Diet especially. Kill Taker is still really good, Red Medicine and End Hits are uneven but still interesting. I really dig The Argument. They were light years ahead every other post-core band which isn't saying much but they did help start that genre. DC scene and Dischord roster sounds really tired these days. I know it's not appreciated on these forums but they were A Big Thing around my parts. Touch And Go, too. Which reminds me - Shellac is so goddamn boring but they always were so..

Weird seeing NBT here as they had one good album and a decent singles collection. There was so little good stuff to age, really.

Pretty much all post-rock is unlistenable now. The Kentucky scene remains the only good thing about the genre. Post-metal (remember those guys?) aged hilariously bad as the fans sobered up, all the hype faded in like a year and labels like Hydrahead went under.

American psych scene from 2004 onwards. It doesn't help that Not Not Fun releases pure shit nowadays and 90% of psych musicians play techno or (worse) 70s revival now.

Later Reatard stuff aged badly and doubly so as it is aped by every single fucking 'garage' band these days.

when you start telling me that I am doing something wrong because apparently you're more ''politicised'' than I am.

When and where did that happen?

Late Night is one of the best LPs of its time, 1st is a bit dated but still good.  Didnt get into the 3rd or 4

Soft Crash is their darkest and their second best album. The last one sounds more like a collection of random stuff. Late Night is one of the best albums I ever heard.

Earlier  various Nothing People rekkids. Still sound great. Are they forgotten around here?

One of the very best bands from the 00s.

Just listened to new Richard Papiercuts LP stream and it's tame as hell. Sounds like every European pseudo-alternative dad-rock from the late 80s (Noir Desir, Kult, etc.). Shame.

Check the prices on PR companies around NYC, you'll get the idea. Pitchfork and all those sites get their stuff from PR people pretty much exclusively which is s also why they won't allow garage records in their main review section.
