yes! would be cool if rangda did a package tour thing, like a SRB solo set, a 6 organs set and then a massive Rangda jammmm.

maybe a little solo corsano as an appetizer for the early birds

they were so much better live than on record (although it also made the record click a bit for me), i'd love to see them again

Playing Cardiff soon, I'm definitely going this time after missing them last time.
― nate woolls, Tuesday, 24 July 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link
So, so, so excited for new stuff from these dudes! Fwiw I really liked the design of the last cover, but the new one looks like a rejected Gang Gang Dance or w/e cover.

Man, that Rangda vid Tyler linked to above really is great! Hope these guys come my way on a tour at some point.
― grandavis, Thursday, 26 July 2012 16:56 (eleven years ago) link
yeah the first one's cover wasn't great either
This is crazy, I adore the cover design for the 1st one!

maybe it looks better on the vinyl? i dunno, the CD looked a little chintzy.

Man, I gotta bookmark your blog. No need to post it again, I have a million threads to go find it in, but my bad. Your blog is a true treasure!

I have never bothered finding out what tublr really is, believe it or not. Probably more than my work production can handle to delve into it. ILM cuts into it enough!

always with the tumblri actually don't quite "get" tumblr either, but the platform is easy enough...just a means to a blog, you know?

haha, doing a rangda day is fun. these guys have so many different projects, and most of them are great.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
went to record store to make sure they would have a rangda for me next week, here was my exchange with clerk:
me: i wanted to see if i could order a new release for next week? clerk: sure, what is itme: rangda...yknow, they're one of those hard-to-categorize supergroup type groups and i don't want to search all over so...clerk: what?me: rangda r-a-n-g-d-a. i think it's an indonesian demon or something? clerk: rangada? me: r-a-nclerk: r-a-nme: g-d-aclerk: ok
RANGDA maybe i have ordered it, but all bets are off until next tues.
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 19:24 (eleven years ago) link
Knowing the shops you probably frequent LL, I'm kinda shocked they didn't know who Rangda is!
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 19:28 (eleven years ago) link
i felt the same way! there was a guy there who i know would have known what i was talking about, but he was not the one helping me.
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 19:29 (eleven years ago) link
oh wow a new rangda record!
― 69, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 19:50 (eleven years ago) link
Just saw C. Corsano play solo last night and holy shit was that good. Dude is just great.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 20:14 (eleven years ago) link
aye got a ticket for the london show
― Crackle Box, Thursday, 13 September 2012 14:44 (eleven years ago) link
so is the new one better than the last (my only gripe with the last one was that the show was 100000000x better, but maybe that's just the nature of the thing)
― Crackle Box, Thursday, 13 September 2012 14:45 (eleven years ago) link
lol okay i just had a similar conversation to LL's just now. called my local shop to see if they got it in and ask them to hold a copy for me.
me: "Yeah, I just wanted to see if you got the new Rangda album in?"sleepy sounding dude: "Uh, who was that?"me: "Rangda. R-A-N-G-D-A."ssd: *types away* "Hmm, nothing coming up for that in the system. How was that spelled again?"me: "R-A-N-G-D-A"ssd: "Nope, nothing, not even an entry for other albums by them."me: "That's weird, I know I bought their first album from you guys."ssd: "What's the name of the album?"me: "Formerly Extinct."ssd: "Oh yeah, here it is. We've got a couple copies. It's actually spelled R-A-N-G-D-A."me: *slaps forehead* "Okay, cool, thanks."
fwiw, dude was super friendly and helpful, was just a funny exchange and made me think of LL's post.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 18 September 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link
haha!
btw, the album hasn't really electrified me all that much, but i like it. i guess anything is going to sound minimal after listening to a bunch of SWANS. the sound seems to be a little heavier on the sir richard this time? the drumming isn't nearly as crazy as i remember it?
anyway, i like it and hope that they find a way to tour again. the show was GREAT and corsano is really fun to watch.

on my First listen now and i like this a lot. i
― one dis leads to another (ian), Tuesday, 18 September 2012 19:13 (eleven years ago) link
yeah love this, not sure if it's as good as the first one, but really strong. i do know what you mean about corsano being a bit reined in -- i almost imagine he thinks of rangda as his most non-out-there project.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
btw, bishop has put up a bunch of his albums for free download over here: http://deliradio.com/sir-richard-bishopnot entirely sure what the deal is, but he was tweeting about it, so i assume that's what he wants!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
Kinda feel like this project is a grab at straight-ahead power trio rock format for all three of these dudes.
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 19:32 (eleven years ago) link
Not that that's what it equals up to, of course.
yeah that is true

oh wow he is releasing a record with David Oliphant(Maybe Mental, Life Garden)!!! That guy rules. They must know each other from the old Phoenix/Placebo days.

Great chat there. Love Chasny the guy so much. Super nice but no bullshit (other than the good kind i.e. a sense of humor) and a real cool insight. Bishop is of course from another planet or something.
― grandavis, Wednesday, 3 October 2012 19:24 (eleven years ago) link
yes, great read

BC: You would think that, but I had to put on 12-gauge strings recently and, man, did I suck. I use 10s, same as Angus Young. He plays guitar in a band called AC/DC.
RB: Never heard of him! I bet he dresses funny.
I lol'd. Also 12-gauge is horrible, I tormented myself with those for years.
