This Is The Strapping Fieldhands Thread Cuz I'm Drinking Beers And Feeling Nostalgic

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i have not heard the strapping fieldhands records. would i like em, scott?

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 21:52 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope so! but you never know. i think they were amazing. try the singles comp first. it's all over the place. they were pals of mine though, so, maybe i'm biased.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:00 (eighteen years ago) link

you totally would!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw them, at the Cooler. Maybe opening for TFUL 282?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:07 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean ya got jack cole, dan bunny, me, stormy, and others raving about them...

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:19 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i should keep a lookout for there records.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 22:36 (eighteen years ago) link

The Strapping Fieldhands were just great, lo-fi folk-pop with a heaping dose of weirdness. The In the Pineys 10" as well as the Discus LP are must-haves. They were really into the whole Jersey Devil/Gypsies roaming central Jersey folklore.

― QuantumNoise (Justin Farrar), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 23:38 (eighteen years ago) link

i'd recommend in this order (and they're all great!)-
the singles comp 'gobs on the midway'
discus
in the pineys

discus isn't in print, is it? was it ever on cd? i didn't like 'wattle and daub' quite as much, maybe it's time to revisit it.

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 00:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i listened to Wattle & Daub a TON last year. I liked it a lot when it came out, but I love it now. I love the sound they got on it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 01:33 (eighteen years ago) link

discus!

New times new viking new album LOOKS great over at midheaven site. Siltbreeze website doesn't announce it yet for some reason (could it be rumored signing with a major indie)?

― runmynewlogin (runmynewlogin), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i think they signed to matador, there was a thread abt it a while back

― M@tt He1g3s0n: oh u mad cuz im stylin on u (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

matador doesn't have anything to do with "presents the paisley reich," it's coming out on siltbreeze.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

oh okay but then the next one is on matador i guess:

― M@tt He1g3s0n: oh u mad cuz im stylin on u (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

yep.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Weird.

The girl in this band is foxy and they're pretty good live.

Also, "...presents the paisley reich' is a great title.

Matador should sign Blues Control.

― David Roback Cube (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

rog you know russ used to work here, right?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Of course! Russ and I go way back.

Anyway, all the more reason to do a Blues Control LP.

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

well there are supposed to be 2 bc lps this year (?) already, i think.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

wierd - TNV on Matador? Last year someone I know who knows them said they were signing to SubPop and it was all wrapped up.

What's Blues Control like?

― runmynewlogin (runmynewlogin), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

rummy, judging by your email address you'd love them

stence - yeah, fuck it tapes is doing one and holy mountain i think is doing the other. two good dudes behind those two labels

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i'm stoked on both releases. blues control music here: myspace.com/bluescontrol.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i am in extreme anticipation of the Pink Reason LP

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

stuff here btw: myspace.com/secondculture

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

i prefer Watersports to Blues Control, but I'm new age wuss

― Dr. Alicia D. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

one is left brain, the other is right brain.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

sure, but which iz which?

― Dr. Alicia D. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

you'd have to ask them!

yinz, yang, etc.

All of the new Siltbreeze titles are incredible.
Pink Reason is such great downer acid-damaged psych vibes.
Times New Viking are my favorite over-educated punk band.
Sapat are just great.

Upcoming LP by Psychedelic Horseshit--anyone got any other gossip on upcoming releases?

― ian, Thursday, 3 May 2007 18:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I just got the Der TPK album and it is very good.

― Trip Maker, Thursday, 3 May 2007 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

oh yeah, the der tpk! i love that one too.

― ian, Thursday, 3 May 2007 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link

they have some stuff up on emusic. i need to check out more on the label. i am really vibing on this kind of thing lately.

― artdamages, Thursday, 3 May 2007 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link

oh, also upcoming: Ex-Cocaine LP.

― ian, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

people who like the Sapat record should check out the Phantom Family Halo record. Some of the same people, similar vibe, but more of a basement rock feel, esp. on side 2.

― ian, Thursday, 3 May 2007 20:06 (sixteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

okay, i think i'm caught up. got the ex-cocaine album today. even bought a der tpk 7-inch that isn't on siltbreeze. old cdr thing re-released by skulltones. oh, and i like the ex-cocaine album. pretty fukkkkked.

― scott seward, Friday, 25 May 2007 18:56 (sixteen years ago) link

i need to listen to the sapat album again. only listened to one side when i bought it.

― scott seward, Friday, 25 May 2007 18:57 (sixteen years ago) link

one year passes...

i found a plain white sleeved, no stickered Der TPK "Harmful Emotions" record w/2 zeroxed pages inside, one with a stamp with the Siltbreeze address on it. is this weird or raer or whatevs. it's not really my thing. i actually bought it for Ian, but i don't know where he is anymore.

― jaxon, Thursday, 5 June 2008 06:57 (fifteen years ago) link

Mine is white sleeve. But the image of Harmful Emotions I tend to see online is usually black.

― gnarly sceptre, Thursday, 5 June 2008 10:32 (fifteen years ago) link

I picked up the Naked on the Vague Blood Pressure Sessions album too. It's pretty chilly. Fancied that over the Operazione Nafta or whatever. Is that some Italian free kinda jazz thing?

And how's the Eat Skull LP? Hype!

― gnarly sceptre, Thursday, 5 June 2008 10:41 (fifteen years ago) link

i thought Charalambides' Houston was on this label. could be wrong. but i swear my CD copy is Siltbreeze. great record btw.

― stephen, Thursday, 5 June 2008 19:39 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah i need more info about some of the newer LPs. for some reason i'm just not scooping them up like the first batch or two. who has that nafta album? and do i really need that factums album? and the eat skull thing too.

and, gnarly, chilly how? chilly good? chilly chill? chilly you need a sweater?

― scott seward, Thursday, 5 June 2008 19:55 (fifteen years ago) link

i didn't buy the alasehir thing either. i figured it probably sounded like bardo pond. (although i do actually kinda dig bardo side-projects that don't include she-who-will-not-be-named.)

― scott seward, Thursday, 5 June 2008 19:57 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm listening to the naked on the vague LP. given that the top of my head feels like it's floating away (allergies) and there are guys mowing the lawn across the street using what sounds like 8,000 foot long hornets this is working pretty well on headphones. it's sort of goth sounding. it sort of reminds me of babyland, but like babyland for people who would be embarassed to like babyland. maybe that's just the rhythm box and big, distorto synth riffs.

i like it.
