no burps, just joy. and weed.

Into this new album by Palmbomen right now: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/albums/Palmbomen.html

It's kind of wavey, but weird in the right ways.

This seems like as good a thread as any for this...

Cool PR guy Howard Wuelfing got me into a show from a band Cinema Cinema this past week, which was super nice of him since I am pretty much retired from musical musing. But I wanted to give them a little hype because the group was pretty impressive. Playing a Monday night opening for a local and with only a handful of attendees, the Brooklyn duo - a bald, bearded, bad-ass guitarist/vocalist and a hyper-kinetic drummer (and they're cousins!) - acted like it was still a matter of life or death.

The group obviously digs Black Flag and it wasn't just the fact the singer/six stringer had a Flag tee on. Or that they apparently toured with Greg Ginn. Though those two factoids make me wish I could compare the band to someone else, it would be inaccurate given the frantic, riff-spazz-riff-spazz-spazz-riff style of the guitarist. To be sure, there are much worse bands to ape.

I picked up an EP and the last CD the band put out entitled "Manic Children & The Slow Aggression." You can stream the whole album on their website. The disc - produced by legendary DC producer Don Zientara at the legendary Inner Ear Studios and self-released - is not quite as good as the show was because Cinema Cinema stuck to the thrash-pop live. Frankly the slower, quieter stuff where he eschews screaming for singing pales in comparison to when the two guys just lose their collective shit. Fortunately they do that a lot more than not.

Here's the video from the album. Fortunately it's for an uptempo track (I think they know where their bread is toasted).

Apparently the band will play anywhere they are allowed to plug in and they play out in NYC, Brooklyn and northern NJ relatively often. I recommend seeing Cinema Cinema if the description or recorded stuff is even a little appealing to you because they killed it live.

new shugo tokumaru has a great video, sweet handclaps, and excellent squibbly-voiced backing vocals (which remind me of nothing so much as the psp game loco roco):

that video is hypnotic

my friend xander made this new video for a song from '11. that phone isn't just a prop, omnivore makes all her music w/ phones and a loop pedal. haunting? yeah.

whoa, this selma oxor song is the nuts!

you can download the selma oxor EP here

yes it's called user 69

it does not disappoint

if you want to support her mission you can buy it for 84 of your mexican dollars

Damn. I got people to listen to this after the 2012 poll has already occurred. (Again, I obviously care way too much about these polls.) I listened to one other song from the EP and didn't like it nearly as much but I should check it out.

here's a non-EP single, it's pretty amazing imo

http://vimeo.com/44048515

I mean, just holy shit @ 2:42

yep, just listened to all of that, very impressed - great sonic detail amidst the bangin' tunes (and the tunes themselves don't always go the obvious way)

"Play basketball with Fidel Castro" sounds like a pretty interesting feature of a live music performance.

Carl's, Jr! Yeah, I see what you mean though. It might be worth it to start paying more attention to underground Mexican and Latin American music generally. Club Fonograma seems like a good site, but I haven't made time to sift through it.

The song is from 2010 but the video is brand new, this guy is one of my all time favourites

(It's a track by Mantler, he sings "it's not the words you love / it's the voice of the author / it's not the story spoken / but the impression furnished" with cool simplicity and I die a little)

i want big things for this thread. i want the world

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60tIfsIWd_U

eternal silences, infinite spaces, scared of breathing, rolling this is not a rolling thread two thousand and thirteen

^^ love these dudes, check for 'arp navigators' on moon glyph, cool record

moon glyph is a mpls label, they are pretty cool

i like the dude on the last one's voice -- reminds me a little of Alan Vega.

i would be ok with this thread if it had a better name, any ideas?

rolling weird shit 2013

interesting stuff happens in the gaps between genres so stick it in here and see what happens

yeah i support a rename of this thread, anything succinct and inclusive is good

rolling 2013 no genre electroweed and french horn players union

Post-experimental pop-rock continuum.

rolling pop rocks killed mikey 2013

rolling not macho enough to be punk/noise but too weird for indie 2013

haha this thread is hard to define

but at the same time i think i'll know exactly what youtubes to post in it

Eh I dunno if there's a better name to be found, we all have an idea of what the thread is for. I have a category in my head I call "avant-accessible" but it looks pretty corny in writing.

if we agree to a name for this thread it will mean we no longer have a use for it

Katsu!

rolling pop katsudon 2013

That was a zen reference, but the food sounds interesting too.

this was my attempt at a non-lame thread name last year fwiw: rolling off to the forest 2012

rolling avocadocore non-nuum plucking sounds 2013

Lamp, I always felt bad about posting to your forestwave thread because I was never sure exactly what it was about besides "stuff that Lamp likes"

yeah the little voice in my head saying 'call it Rolling Avant-Garde 2013' or worse 'Rolling Art Music 2013' had to be rapidly gagged

reckon the zone of ambiguity suggested by the current title is what's needed, really

it's just ugly and sounds dumb though, i thought off to the forest was a v evocative thread title

i suppose i wanted a fairly functional, didactic title as my mood upon starting it was curt

of course, 'forest' has its own connotations - is there any room for interplanetary molotov-hurlers amidst the dryadic jamboree?

dancing with the dolphins 2013

idk I think (but who knows?) we're going for something broader than forest vibes this time, kind of a big tent for refugees from the forest but also JF's shambala, the defunct dilettantes, Outloud Crüe and divers other ILXors in search of a home.

rolling just ugly and sounds dumb aka YOUR MOM 2013

This thread has gotten off to a pretty good start. I don't think all the hand-wringing is called for, however normal it is.

Not that my opinion should matter much since I don't normally end up listening to much music that would fit into this thread.

that isn't true. if shiina ringo's chestnut chlorine semen thingy album came out now it'd have about 300 posts dedicated to it right here, 150 of which my own

Lamp, I always felt bad about posting to your forestwave thread because I was never sure exactly what it was about besides "stuff that Lamp likes"

it was kinda an attempt at zoning in on the post-hipster zeitgeist, rolling off to the forest was an attempt at kinda head-nodding towards various emerging trends while also repping for big knut hamsun whos novels seemed to be part of the thing as well. thread didnt really turn out to be good for much although i think it was the first place that 'new for u' showed up on ilx, small distinctions i guess...

anyway david markson, spiritual poverty, early 80s wastelands, 'gaspard de le nuit' and roxy music playing in the background of parties, no one owns a laptop anymore, the do not touch them cassette on forced nostalgia, eugene ludins and disparate scando landlovers all went by unmemorialized, willing to start afresh with something less ambitious and less vague maybe the sound of icebergs melting idk

"Rolling..." was one of my favourite recent ILM threads because of the clear sense of an underlying curatorial vision. But because that vision felt so personal, I was never sure whether the stuff I posted really fit in.

Alternatively: my understanding is that this thread is a big tent and doesn't preclude more targeted explorations of any particular aesthetic.

i just think having a nice name at the top would be nice but w/e

Gotta love Holodeck Records

def need to revisit the Sungod + Troller recs.

I've been hearing about the new ssleeperhold album. Is that worth listening to?

L.I.E.S. gets clowned on ILX due the ~hype phactor~ but I have never had to mingle irl w/ any of the other quite probably horrible ppl who listen to this music so I will agree w/ you on the Shadowlust.

new L.I.E.S. comp streaming on NPR:

gonna check out L.I.E.S. affiliate steve summers tonight at the annual PVD weirdbeat event known as xanadont

I don't know much about most of the Holodeck releases but that Troller record is def in my top 5 of the year.

The Demdike Stare Testpressing 3-part 12" series from this year seems relevant to this thread and I haven't seen them mentioned. They are amazing.

I've been hearing about the new ssleeperhold album. Is that worth listening to?

not feeling its oddball Godflesh/v-wave/minimal synth melange but the title track is cool: http://holodeckrecords.bandcamp.com/track/ruleth

imago, if you’ve ever felt all torn up inside by Death Grips’ callow disregard f/ extended audio annihilation you may find solace in these nigh-interminable collisions.
