dope

otm

Ooh!

very nice

Blood Brothers must be the only one on a major, yes?

That's a fucking dope list and a great overview man

thank you so much for this

amazing whiney, thank you

thanks whiney, this is really awesome

Thanks Whiney!

I guess brainiac was done by 1998?

the singer died the year before, yeah

these comps look like a very healthy balance between welcome nostalgia and shit that passed me by first time round, personally speaking

I think Death Sentence Panda! was more like 2005-06?!

Sure, but track is from the 2004 tour CD-R

I'm too old; my memory is for shit

this is dope thank you

Yes, thanks again, Whiney, especially for jogging memories of Olneyville Sound System and Aa.

Nice one Whiney
Nice one son
Nice one Whiney
Let's have another one

Thanks! I totally forgot about Neptune and their scrap guitars...

thanks whiney

this compilation is great, kudos to whiney for putting this together. it's wild to revisit some of this stuff again and seeing it historicised and especially remembering all the live gigs genuinely makes my heart ache. it's interesting to see how it seemed stateside as I only saw some of these bands play in the UK, where fitted alongside stuff like vibracathedral orchestra, all the noisey Sheffield/leeds/Manchester bands. there was a proper scene for it in a way I haven’t really seen since and yeah some of those ATPs were amazing

Yeah, this whole scene was a pretty huge part of my life for a good chunk of it. A historically interesting time, truly a one-of-a-kind moment that I feel very lucky to have been involved in. So yeah, thanks Whiney.

atp nightmare before christmas 2k6 4 liiiiiiiife

^Yep - also the Instal and Subcurrent festivals in Glasgow (later was David Keenan's noisefest, featured all the usual suspects like Wolf Eyes, Prurient, Hototogisu, Double Leopards, Mouthus etc etc)

latter

AMAZING!

I totally ignored this stuff while it was happening (mostly because I found the scene too impenetrable/daunting) so this is pretty interesting to dive into with next to no context.

irl lol @ "You Cannot Do This Out Here"

I bought that CD just to make the mix since i didn't think the Killball record was really representative of what FF "meant"

just prior to this I was listening to a bunch of late 80s/early 90s indie/punk/underground stuff and thinking how interesting it was to have these scenes that were completely antithetical and hermetically sealed off from mainstream musical tropes, just really unrelated to anything you would hear on any radio station or TV show. And this stuff feels like an extension of that ethos. the general sonic unpredictability of it seems like its major virtue.

damn i cant believe i was only one of 2 that voted j weise

Surprised Prurient didn't place higher.

thanx for making these whiney

this whole thing feels sort east coast to me though... although i guess most of the west coast stuff im thinking of / listening to ca this time is what your calling 'arthur mag' stuff. still wld be cool for someone to chronicle/memorialize some of that stuff as well

Lamp otm.

you were an sfindie bro weren't you? the action was happening on spockmorgue iirc

oh I saw some shows and was tangentially aware of various people (lol Filthmilk) and I've always kept a toe in various experimental scenes and subscenes but a lot of this stuff felt very aggro/east coast and just kind of... why would I buy a record of this, y'know? idk this was happening at a time where I was def not feeling a lot of contemporary scenes and was digging more into older shit, just tons of stuff from the 70s mainly. The noise scene seemed like a real headache to keep track of.

i think that dude is getting kicked out of his space. He once backed into my bandmate's car. For a while he was doing noise shows in Potrero park, which were fun.

cops shut down the one show we tried to do at Potrero park, man that was a disaster. shouldn't have publicized it.

SFPD stopped us from setting up, brought along like 6 cars full of cops - 2 weeks later they sent a bill for $3,500 in overtime charges demanding that we pay it. fucking leeches.

(we did not pay it)

I tried to get deeper into SF stuff (Hospitals, KIT, Numbers, Spacek), because this was a problem with the poll from jump, but if Lamp and sarahel want to tell me who i'm forgetting, I'm all ears

we had this discussion upthread, where you pretty much dismissed most of the relevant Bay Area acts as "too rock"

lol

There was also a whole Chicago/Midwest scene that is somewhat included in this poll

The bands you mentioned — Burmese and Total Shutdown and Mae Shi — are all on here!

I won't deny that I do have an East Coast bias tho, because that's where I was at!

Yeah Pink and Brown/Burmese/Total Shutdown/XBXRX/USAisaMonster were too "rock band" for the poll,

Literally every last one of those bands are represented on the mix

sorry, didn't listen.
