Matt pointed me at it and I downloaded it:
http://thirdworlds.net/
and me and the gal like it a lot! Might be a passing fancy but curious what ilxhivemind thinks

lyrics are stone cold stupid but the energy is manic, the production is lo-fi punk shit and the ideas are omnivorously informed and twitching

dash of aphex, little horrorcore, some industrial, some disco... aesthetically it's all over the place and scratches an itch i was not aware i wanted scratched?

My friend and I watched this from forks' inexplicable thread last night and she tried to download the mixtape but it made her browser crash when she used the internet at the same time. She said, "everyone's talking about this on facebook," and I said, " 'everybody'? How can it be everybody? This video only has 21,000 views and it's his most-viewed video," and she said, "okay, not EVERYBODY. Like two or maybe three people posted the video, "and I said, "still, that's pretty impressive when you consider the ratio of 21,000 to the population of the unites states. This is probably gonna get big. Like, indie big, maybe," and she said, "Yeah, maybe."

Kinda wish i could post an edited version of that post as a board description

love this shit. thanks forks.
yeah, mostly about the energy, like he just can't shout loud enough or bang hard enough.
some tasty musical action too. guilotine is a jam. not one sound more than it needs. works those bleeps just perfect.
also digging culture shock, like the flipside to lilb's age of information.

although it's a lot more punk rock + a bunch of other things, i definitely get a shabazz palaces vibe at times (mostly in the lyrics + flow, like on "culture shock" for ex).

atari teenage riot ... Techno Animal, Kill The Vultures, k-the-i

finding death grope a lot more enjoyable & fun than any of those precedents. like it sounds like it ought to feel oppressively angry and "harsh", but it doesn't. good times album imo.

too many encores (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Tuesday, 20 November 2012 20:54 (6 months ago) Permalink

you put yourself in the same place as the other person, so they have nothing on you

It would have been shitty for the label to leak a record and cancel a tour without consulting the band first. The whole part of them going back to the label to try and talk about the second album - after they have dropped out of touring/promoting in the least respectful way possible almost has a George Costanza feel to it. Quitting a job and then going back to work the next monday hoping the boss will somehow just forget that you called them a pinhead.

CGI fridays (Edward III), Sunday, 9 December 2012 01:30 (5 months ago) Permalink

i kindof feel like exactly these things that are being used itt to describe these guys as dicks are exactly why they are good. lack of responsibility. bailing out on the debts they said they would pay. its cathartic and refreshing. the deal was not the deal i thought it was. the fine print was unreadable. i wanted the money but not the job. this is how i feel, bypassing the beaurocracies that displace every responsibility. don't phone in sick because its a busy shift. i don't fucking care. its like epic records. standing on the balcony. i wish i could do that. i still have to fucking wait tables every night. i'm glad somebody can. standing teetering on the edge. two fingers. tie the cord, kick the chair and you're dead. if i call in sick its my fucking coworkers that take the brunt. this is it, the production of innocence. my boss is my best friend. we're all victims. there's something to be said for it. the album is so good as well. all uncontainable id. no love. deep web. wrapped up so tight i can't breath. i need something that punctures it. interrupts these notions of responsibility that are predicated on this particular handshake. i hope i can pay my rent this month.

I sort of agree with plax's post; I think the self-involved irresponsibility fuels a lot of what makes their music awesome. I'd never want to do business with them or even really try to see them live because I'd be convinced they would flake out and not show up with no warning but I've enjoyed all three albums immensely.

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 10 December 2012 15:30 (5 months ago) Permalink

yeah, getting all "I see through their pyrrhic immaturity" about death grips antics misses something fundamental (or states the blatently obvious) about a band whose first record started with a charlie manson sample.
