Interference Random Music Talk: Rick Rubin produces the XX

[bono_212]

I haven't, so I will...later.

 

[If you shout...]

Some good-ass tunes in the Susan Anway years.

if i'm honest, i'd be disappointed if i didn't.

So you admit to trolling?

Trolling: Intentionally disrupting a forum by posting obviously inaccurate or inflammatory information and/or hoping to get a rise out of people. The perpetrators are known as "trolls".

Lemme get the mods on this.

Oh, wait...

i don't do this part deliberatly, i just enjoy it when my general demeanour bothers people.

have a nice day babe

Laz and I seem to be on the same power-pop wavelength these days. Sugar's Copper Blue is fucking awesome; every song is catchier than the last.

Oh hell yes.

There's something I haven't heard in ages.

That wasn't the part I bolded, babe. But this is a fruitless enterprise.

You spelled both "deliberately" and "demeanor" incorrectly in your post.

 

[LemonMelon]

Really not sure why it took me so long to get around to hearing Copper Blue. I guess I just assumed Sugar was a Husker Du side project and felt I needed to hear all of their work first before moving on.

Turns out the album was basically tailor-made for me.

 

[lazarus]

There isn't a bad track on there. And the melodies are delivered with such an intense sonic roar (for the most part) that it creates a perfect balance. Not only is it better than anything that the Huskers ever recorded (however blasphemous that may sound), but it should have been as big as Nevermind or The Blue Album. It has more hooks than either.

 

[lazarus]

The follow-up, an EP called "Beaster", which is a loose concept album about Jesus(!) is significantly harder but is really fucking good.

The second full-length, File Under Easy Listening, isn't as strong as Copper Blue, but also has about 6 amazing tracks.

The collection of b-sides ("Besides") has to be heard to be believed. Some editions of that compilation also have a fantastic live album recorded in Minneapolis.

For a band that was only around for a few years, they recorded a shitload of great songs.

i was going to go back and fix it, but i got caught between deciding if i wanted to fix my typos or replace everything with a period.

 

[lazarus]

Did I ever mention that I saw Sugar on tour for Beaster at the University of Iowa and that me and my friends ran into Bob Mould in the student center hours before the show?

We got to talk to him, just the four of us, for about 15 minutes. Amazingly nice and down-to-earth guy, completely the opposite of how crazy he seems when he's playing.

Saw him solo acoustic after Sugar broke up and he is just as intense when he's unplugged.

 

[martha]

Listen to Distant Plastic Trees, even if you already have.

I liked that WAY more than I expected I would.

Um.

I loved that.

And, was that Lake Shore Drive?

Yup.

And Chairs Missing by Wire is making me think that I don't hate straight post-punk as much as I thought I did.

 

[the tourist]

Creedence Clearwater Revival is good autumn music.

 

[LemonMelon]

So I should probably listen to the earlier Magnetic Fields works, huh? I already love 69 Love Songs.

You're on a fucking roll. God damn. "Mercy" is one of my favorite songs, and that record is a fucking classic. Only good/great songs.

Another one of my favorite songs of all time, or whatever:

Wire gets better with each album for me. Chairs Missing is good, but damn, 154 really is something else. It's a wonderfully unique, moody piece that influenced basically everything in the '80s. Very Wire, very much ahead of its time.

Through no purposely mindedness of my own. I use a random number generator to pick what album I'm gong to listen to (It's all ridiculously nerdy and overly complicated) so the last three albums I listened to were all picked by chance.

Though now I'm listening to Distant Plastic Trees and am so glad you recommended that. Is The Wayward Bus this good as well?

 

[If you shout...]

Chairs Missing is the only one that I love, but that doesn't mean I have anything against the other stuff. So it goes.

Best post-punk song ever:

You've posted this song before and I reacted positively towards it right? I was trying to remember which one it was because I know I absolutely loved it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, now I have to listen to Deceit, don't I? So I shall. Been looking for an excuse to for weeks now.

 

[If you shout...]

I have posted it, yes. But everybody reacts positively to it. It's perfect! I can't keep track of who's heard it, anymore.

 

[If you shout...]

Out of Cold Storage is just about as essential a box set as you'll ever find. Haven't listened to Deceit in probably four years, at this point, but that's not because it sucks. Just be warned that it doesn't sound like "Health and Efficiency." It's much closer to musique concrete.

Hah, I didn't really expect you to remember if I liked it, more just checking that you had posted it before .


And now it's on!
