^ quite low-key but I quite like this, it's Doldrums - Egypt

Like, the VHF Doldrums?
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
doldrums one is great

No, it's not the VHF one, it's some guy from Canada doing weird lo-fi psychedelic dance music.

That looks like the "Before" of the first Masters of Reality cover.
No, it's not the VHF one
Do people not Google their band name ideas or is it just cool to not care now? Cool album cover though and I even kind of like the song, except the vocals.

Do people not Google their band name ideas
Short answer? No.Long answer? I think we're about out of suitable names if the hundreds of horribly named bands I come across at work every day are any indication. I'd rather have two artists named Doldrums than even one named Stony Danza or Forever The Sickest Kids.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:31 (eleven years ago) link
i'll take unique over suitable any time. i'd rather someone call themselves shitfuck mcgillicuddy than be the 53rd band to call themselves spindrift
― lawrence and the machine (electricsound), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:40 (eleven years ago) link
I'd say the first band to call themselves Spindrift fucked up.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:45 (eleven years ago) link
probably
― lawrence and the machine (electricsound), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:50 (eleven years ago) link
Doldrums in this case is prolly an Ariel Pink ref no? but yeah it is bone idle and it's not like you even came up with a killer name or anything come on man

what's so notable about that waka album cover?
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 June 2012 21:41 (eleven years ago) link
Notably crap obviously.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 8 June 2012 22:06 (eleven years ago) link
yeah but it's so generic either way i don't feel strongly about it
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 June 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
True.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 8 June 2012 22:12 (eleven years ago) link
though i guess just the basic work is pretty bad looking, looks kinda 90s and regional though, which is weird now cuz everyone seems to be a lot slicker at very least

Would never listen to a non-VHF Doldrums on pure principle. Hey look at me, I'm starting a band called Magnog. Ugh, these fucking kids.

Mrs Magician working from the same palette as Carter Tutti Void, Best Coast, etc. Funny when things 'trend' so obviously. Can't accept that this is any more a coincidence than the 'bands with animal and beach-related names' thing

At least this doesn't give me a headache like the CTV album art does.

That Landing cover is okay, but it pales in comparison to one of the great staircase-featuring album covers of our time:
