At least most of you actually like SY. Thank you OP for posting this. Are you also part of the Mckenzie tapes thing you link too?

I remember a little while ago when somebody asked about NOFX tour 7's, trying to complete his set.

"I just left my entire set by the bus. Check there."
"same thing happened to me"

dicks. haha

Worse than Pop Punk / Re: War is Peace

Kevin didnt delete, I did. Talk all the music, books, movies, random bullshit you want on TB. I've stated from the beginning this is not the place to discuss politics. I appreciate that its an issue that does need discussion, especially now, but this is not the place for it. Go do it somewhere else besides an underground music board. I respect everyone's opinions (to a point) but Ive always gone by the dont discuss religion/politics at the bar standard, and I always figured that was a good rule here too. And for the record, the TB stance (i.e. mine) is that we are certainly NOT alt-right and very much anti-Trump. End of discussion. If you dont like it, we'll see ya around.

Thank you for the explanation. That makes a lot more sense. I'm all for your 'at the bar' rule, I'm definitely here to talk about music. I didn't know it was a rule, so I misunderstood the motivation for deletion. I'm relatively new - so I hope you forgive me if you've posted or clarified this rule before.

The only thing more pathetic than kevin's comment is that TB deleted this. One person was right wing Kevin. How do you even go outside?

TB that's pathetic. Now velcro can comment a single sentence on any topic and the whole thing might get deleted?

One guy votes republican and we delete a whole conversation? I get it, your board, your rules... At least put it in pop-punk or whatever. sheesh. What exactly are the rules? Am I about to be banned?

I wanted to ask sukebe about being a punk in a communist country - that's a perspective I literally haven't heard from. Is he in a 'special economic zone'? Is punk music available outside of Saigon? etc... That's where the conversation was headed.

I'd really like an explanation - maybe TB has a different reason for deletion.

Music Shit / Re: What Are You Listening To And What Do You Have To Say About it? PART VI

David Nance and Simon Joyner - Goat's Head Soup . This is a track for track cover of the Rolling Stones album. Neck Chop has/had a few copies (where I got mine!), and also somehow available at the source

First off, this came with a very interesting insert. It's a cease and desist letter from the RS legal team. LOL

Secondly, I think it's worth a sidetrack at this point. Pussy Galore did this same trick with Exile on Main Street in 1986. Exile is the album before Goat's Head Soup, and Exile is considered a classic, while Goat is not loved or hated. Pussy Galore fucked it up hard, predictably. You can even hear the RS album playing in the same room as they attempted to play along to it (highlight: Rocks Off, imo) It's a disaster, and sometimes there's just feedback instead of noise. Basically every stones fan would call it sacrilege. Great stuff.

Pussy Galore imploded a few years later, and turned into two different bands: Royal Trux and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Both bands were at their best when they put as much distance between the Pussy Galore noise, and embraced relatively straight forward (see JSBX 'Orange'), almost Rolling Stones-like rock and roll (see Royal Trux 'Thank You' 1994). I've wasted so much text on this footnote because I really think David Nance sounds like Jon Spencer's singing - that drunken crooning, on that recent David Nance album Negative Boogie (which rules!)

There's a similar mess at play on this Goat Head's Soup. They've re-interpreted the songs quite thoroughly. Here's the writeup at the label:

Do Simon Joyner and David Nance love or hate the Rolling Stones? Jamaican vacation themed 1973 follow-up to Exile On Main Street? You?ll have to listen and decide for yourself. It might depend on how sacrosanct you feel about classic rock ?masterpieces?!  One thing?s for certain, the Grimmer Twins version is a bit more raw and experimental than the original Glimmer Twins record. ?Some of the songs had decent lyrics but terrible music, like Keith had just conceded the band to Mick at this point, so we wrote our own music. At least one song had to be totally re-written with new words and music because it was so awful that neither of us could think of how to save it. We kept the title. But the others just needed to be played by people who give a shit.?

This is a limited pressing of 500.

LOL. 'They kept the title'....

I'm only one listen deep, and I like it. Not as strong as that Negative Boogie album, but definitely strong enough to warrant me spending $100 to see what else this label is hiding from me. Hadn't heard of 90%, YMMV.

Ummm what happened to the thread about the alt-right guy? Too heated a debate for TB? It just suddenly went missing. Is this how TB operates?

I imagine that Kevin deleted the thread since he started it. He expressed a certain amount of disappointment in the discussion that ensued...I am pretty sure that needle-drop dickhead was a bit set up but I really would not spend any amount of time on trying to figure out "is he or isn't he"? I remember watching one of his early reviews and thinking he was more bland than Leonard Maltin is on movies...

That's really disappointing, if so. I'd much rather that be the case (kevin deleting it), than if someone with moderator/admin rights did it. I thought we were having a good conversation. Not one person was hateful, racist, sexist, etc. There was an interesting discussion, sparked by a pretty retarded topic (obviously. who cares about any youtube personality...)

Anyway, thank you to all who participated. And sukebe, thanks for your perspective from the communist country. I had a bunch of questions to ask, but now I'm not sure if it's allowed...

Music Shit / Re: Husker Du unreleased material

« on: October 09, 2017, 05:07:39 PM »

Gee Charlie, I'm an old guy who has all the Husker records, including LSR, which I'm not crazy about, and I was just wondering if someone who had heard this could describe it as more LSR or more towards the hook-laden stuff to come. You know, info to help a prospective buyer. But you needed to be a precious dick for some reason, so thanks.

Lunny, I went and checked it out at the numero site. They have a player with preview for each and every track. It's a lot catchier than I imagined.

I, too, am a fan of their post LSR output, and not crazy about LSR. I was pleasantly surprised. There's even a cover of Chinese Rocks. This thing is pretty neat!

stamp out shoegaze

I don't think I like a single other shoegaze album. But there's something other-worldly about Loveless.

I can't stand Ride/Slowdive/etc. Boring.

No idea why, but loveless is just different.

I don't foresee suitor replying to messages directed at him. He's an enigma.

Also, he bumped an 8 year old thread with a simple 'LOL' today. To be fair, it was a good thread and I hadn't seen it.
