Just watched Mishima for the first time. Incredible. I have so many questions - how did Schrader fall off so hard (and then come back), how is this not more famous for having such an insane and charitable/subsidized budget, how did this production designer end up doing fantasy and not sci-fi... watched the making of documentary but would totally read multiple books on this film. Staggering.

Will ramble more about this later, but I really think the new Deaf Wish is their best work yet. Way excited to see them in a few weeks

I really want to understand Lavender Flu.  I didn?t really like the first one and I don?t really like the new one either.  It sounds like vanilla garage rock like the dime-a-dozen bands were putting out between 2009 and 2014 (ish).  Then again, I never really understood late period Hunches for the same reason.  Someone help me understand what everyone else is seeing.  Is there a particular song I can try to latch onto?

I?d much rather listen to the new Spider Bags if I?m going for generic indie rock with a garage/country twist.

It?s all about songwriting and guitarwork and heart. I think I felt the same way about cheater slicks when I was first coming here - but then once it clicked, especially through getting Refried Dreams and a bunch of other 90s In the Red stuff out of an old box my local record store had lost under a shelf and never opened (and seeing em - unbelievably loud and forceful), I got that broad strokes of genre were useless and that things that were lauded here were generally way the fuck up my alley.

The above comment that Lavender Flu is dreamlike is dead on. Chris Gunn has the same talent on guitar that Lynch has in direction - emotive creativity that leaves just enough room for your brain to color half of the work in and make it a personal experience. In Lavender Flu, it?s just housed in a high-ass slow motion Burrito Bros veneer. Listen to it while you drive or bike or run, it is an English muffin waiting for your brain?s topping of choice to seep into the valleys.

I remember SSR being fairly down on Dwyer and his white-belted garage of the Coachwhips, and someone else here recently evinced disdain for the guy's personality and actions...Unabashed rnr excess junkie for quite a while, no? Most certainly plays into it...

I overwhelmingly support Dwyer doing whatever he needs to do, and every time he pops in to play live it's really endearing to see how immense the crowds he draws are. I haven't bought a record since the one with the phone on the front, but it was really good and the "if i stay too long" cover was stellar. Though that was on In the Red, and one should assume a lot of people here are in for whatever Larry puts out.

I actually just put Masters Bedroom on today after some guy offered me some money for it on discogs, and realized I still love it and don't want to sell it. Dwyer might be assumed to have a bad rap here, but I would bet you can't find much shit talk, just disinterest in that first woodsist/sacred bones wave. He's still doing great shit, just for other, new people (and guys that pick soundtracks for AMC shows).

I'm sure no one here would look down on a new friend who came here for oh sees fossils. I've seen oh sees a bunch, but at this point i'm not gonna pay $30 to see it - I think the last time I paid to see them was with Total Control on the heels of Henge Beat... that won't be topped.

But i'l back dwyer forever if only for the hospitals vs. dan burke video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b--7n_S62Bk - if there was a Termbo top ten youtube, this would be #1, imo

i didn't like Sorry To Bother You very much... the jokes weren't that funny and as satire, it seemed kind of obvious.  there were a couple of good moments but overall i don't think it holds a candle to lakeith's other project, the show Atlanta.  it seems like this movie is trying really hard to do something Atlanta does effortlessly, in this critic's opinion.

-ramblin pete

r. pete -

I would have to mostly agree, though I thought it was a great movie. About 30 minutes in, I wished I hadn't seen the last season of Atlanta beforehand - particularly (obviously) the Teddy Perkins episode (really the only time they give lakeith stanfield time to actually shine) - before seeing the film. Stanfield does so much fucking deep acting in that episode that is the only reason that episode works... But then I just took in what he was doing in this outing and was won over. Atlanta gets to become subversive over weeks and repeated articles of criticism, this had to be a jolt. The twist is interesting and will age terribly but I just let myself buy into it.

 Just as how I reviewed Super Troopers 2, sometimes you gotta just give yourself to the film.

Interestingly, according to Riley's NYT piece, Donald Glover was asked to star before Lakeith was. I think it's 1000x better with the latter.

Boots's interview with Jacobin is awesome - https://jacobinmag.com/2018/08/sorry-to-bother-you-boots-riley-interview

There?s a documentary called Rocking the Foundations about the Building Labourers Federation in Australia in the 1970s. When the union started out, in the 1950s, it was run by gangsters ? people that worked with the bosses. They got the gangsters out, and in the 1960s they became a very militant union. Not necessarily a radical union, but a militant union. They just shut down places. They were able to win the things that they wanted.

They got so powerful, and their leadership was actually radical, that they started striking on behalf of community organizations. If a developer had some money in a different development company that was moving people out of a certain neighborhood and gentrifying it, they shut down all his buildings and won. They got so effective the developers started kidnapping people.

If we want to have a radical movement that also is clear on how capitalism works, we?re going to have to be involved with people where they work and in the struggles that everyone?s involved with. We need to collectivize that struggle.

Patois Counselors and Lavender Flu are definitely my favorite records from the past few months. Sooo good.

"Target not a Comrade" from the PC LP is such a hit.

LF keeps making me tear up.

I am blown away by the new, pointed Lavender Flu. That LP is perfect and almost inscrutably smart.

although I played in Patois before I left Charlotte and worked on the design of the record, I am totally awestruck by how smart and deep that LP is and can't get over how brilliant the songs/performances are. Bo White is a genius in our time and deserves to be recognized as such. I hope it gets reviewed here soon. "Get Excitement" is the best song i've seen in person for like three years running. Here's a video from last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzrom9soBcs

Thanks for the login instructions MOTHER or Richie or SSR or whoever, i'd assumed i was doomed to lurk forever.


- Lavender Flu - Mow the Glass is a doozy. I can't stop listening. As I've said many times, Chris Gunn is the best guitarist of the new millennium and he only reinforces my opinion with this outing. As with much of the hunches' output, I detest the design on some levels yet love how ugly it is

- Been listening to the pre-masters of the new ARBOR LABOR UNION - it's really great shit in the same vein with emphasis on vocals instead of superhuman guitarwork. They are no longer on Sub Pop but watch this space and I'll let ya know where this is coming out (they have it figured out, I just don't remember who is doing it)

- Heard the SPF (members of CUBE) shit today and it blew me away. Terrifying and dancy.

- Eagerly awaiting this upcoming Protomartyr/ Spray Paint collab

- the SCARECROW demo is great! murderous North Carolinian hardcore in the vein of daniel's previous band DEVOUR and jeff's work in BLACKBALL, SKEMATA, STRIPMINES, etc, in order of relevance. There's a track that is straight up Totalita?r and that is welcome to my ears. Raleigh is seemingly on fire right now. I think the production/mastering is kinda weird and way too friendly to the high end, but the songs are real good. I guess they only wanted to put two songs up, I assure you the tape is worth obtaining - https://bunkerpunks.bandcamp.com/album/demo

- I'm only growing more interested in the CAMMO tape the more I jam it... sean's been in POLLUTION, SHOXX, and BANDAGES in the last ten years and a bunch of cool shit in the 90s, but this stinks of his influence and genius. The last song is incredible and should be a 12" single.
 vocals at the back, who cares, if you wished there was a shoegazey riff-centric version of unsane where you weren't embarrassed by their lyrics, it would be called CAMMO. 1/3 Pollution, 1/3 Double Negative, 1/3 Whatever Brains, North Carolina as it should be, as it is, esse quam videri. A true Raleigh supergroup - https://cammo1.bandcamp.com/releases

Sorry to Bother You was really sick. Kinda derivative of gondry at times (and Boots acknowledges it), odd in a memorable way, but the script is genius and  Lakeith Stanfield is the best new actor working right now, Tessa Thompson was stellar, and it?s the funniest movie I?ve seen in a theater this year. Highly recommended.

 Also, before this movie they showed two ads and two trailers all in a row starring Tiffany Haddish. I saw this movie kinda high early in the morning, started to think I was hallucinating. Tiffany Haddish is a Groupon user. Tiffany Haddish is friends with a dumb lady. Tiffany Haddish just got outta jail, and of course this is a Tyler perry movie with a shitty racist 1980s premise. Tiffany Haddish is married to Tracy Morgan.

She fuckin rules, she?s so charismatic, she came from such a hard place - there?s a Champs podcast with her when she was just a standup (that is so fucking heavy) that I highly recommend where she cries and discusses her past. I hope she is the highest paid actor in the last two years, she must have worked on ten movies in the last twelve months, it?s awesome how much work she can get so quickly .

  It?s always so weird to see how gross and segregated film and advertising is,  they hit the non-white crowd filter and you get 12 minutes of the same person... its so telling that they only devote so much time or money to like three black films or actors at any time. Can?t wait for that to change, as boots Riley clearly set a high bar for indie anti capitalist  films with distribution, this ended up getting a really wide release

Dude is still a confirmed piece of shit. My buddy brought him back to his place for an after party and he?s an old misogynist lech. I intentionally avoided the laundromat but if he?s at Cropped Out, where I gotta be, I might beat him up during the set because he sucks and it will be easy.

My father once told me a story about how during the height of the Cold War, the space race, the Americans had invested millions of dollars into developing a pen that could write in space. The Russians? They used a fucking pencil.
That's me, Ray. I'm the fucking pencil. Casper's killers knew this, and now they're trying to erase everything I've built.

Sometimes you're just a clerk at a shitty motel listening to muffled sounds of assfucking through the thin walls. What i'm trying to say, Ray, is do you have a reservation? Cause we got no room for walk-ins, not tonight.

Russians once sent a dog into space Ray. A mangy mutt who had no hope. And she died. Just like Casper. Stan. As it turns out...I was the space capsule, rotating, trapped, floating in a black cold hell.

It's a dog eat dog world, Ray. And I'm the fucking Chinaman.

What did Peter Piper pick a peck of, Ray? Did he pick a peck of my fucking shoes? No, Ray. Peter Piper thought he was picking, but he was really selling. And selling don't work when you've got no eggs in no baskets. Casper knew this.

It feels like were back at the playground, Ray, and all the kids are fighting over who gets to use the swings.
Except now everybody's too tired to swing, we just want to sit.

All my life I've been bringing knives to gunfights, and now that I have a gun everybody's switched back to knives. Know what I say? More bullets for me.

They say life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll get. Well I do Ray, you get fucking cavities.

You want to know why I drink, Ray? My wife's waving around her womb like a goddamn bargaining chip and asking me why I don't want a bring a kid in the world. Well sweetheart, I can think of 5 MILLION fucking reasons!

She sells sea shells by the sea shore? She's a whore, Ray. And the only sea shell she'll be selling any time soon is her own fuckin' clam.

Sometimes you have to fart really bad, Ray, but you don't know if it's going to be a fart or something more. No. Not until you commit.
But you always commit and you're standing in the middle of the supermarket in shorts. Know what I'm saying, Ray?

awesome

this is still so funny to me. been rewatching some of s2 and Frank is even better with age, or maybe because of how much i can still laugh at all of these
