Favorite SST releases?

Sounds like the Dirty Projectors show was 'interesting'.

No love for The Leaving Trains? 'Fuck' and 'Kill Tunes' are incredible.

Yes! 'KIll Tunes' is one of my favourites. I don't think they were as hooky again till the end of the '90s/early '00s but that's just me. Are they still going? I used to enjoy Falling James' website updates.

done to death and tired of hearing it'ers i give you...

METAL CIRCUS

i love the ep so much it's the one band t-shirt i have that actually features it's masthead

huskers! otm

SST stuff now on Spotify.

not all of it, Surviving You Always is MIA but the other Saccharine Trust recs are there.

do they have the dicks' sst album up on there?

Wishing they'd remaster a lot of the material. Could do with upgrades on the Black Flag cds & Saccharine Trust, Minutemen, Husker du (surprised this hasn't happened on another label if it hasn't) and a few others.

Main Black Flag I listen to these days is the Marquee '84 set which a friend recorded. Only time i got to see the band live. But I think '84 was a special year in their sound and i don't think 85 or 86 match it. Line-up considerably changed somewhen then anyway.

no Dicks, no B'last, no Stains xp

No Slovenly (but there is one Overpass album up now)

BTW I might have posted this here already, but folks that like Ubu-ish art-rock that don't know about Slovenly need to see this:

that Stains album is easily in my top 5 "albums SST should let someone else release because they're too awesome to effectively have just dropped off the face of the earth"

was just listening to meat puppets II yesterday, pretty amazing record.

& would love to hear that Marquee 84 Black Flag tape hint hint

II is a staggering work of genius, no folling.

Surviving You Always is MIA

That's because it was never digitised; it was never released on CD, either.

do they have the dicks' sst album up on there?

I've heard it's getting reissued on Alternative Tentacles in a few weeks - from a clean vinyl copy, since the master tapes are gone - so you might be in luck then.

That Stains album, too, will probably never see the light of day. From what I've read it was deleted months after its release in 1983. Anyone here read Razorcake? They had a feature on the Stains spread over two issues recently; I don't have them myself so I can't vouch for it.

ooh really? AWESOME. that's a great album...

I got all excited, but no Zoogz Rift. (No Mofungo either.) Damn.

^^ best album ever.

which black flag album do you mean?

Oh boy, now everyone can hear Minuteflag!

YES: black flag, minutemen/firehose, descendants, husker du, saint vitus, saccharine trust, bad brains, screaming trees

NO: p much anything else

pity the indie label that only has 8 good bands on its roster

oh n/m i thought you were talking about quality and not spotify availability haha

ha me too, was about to write something snotty about how any label would be lucky to have that many great bands over the course of a decade.

lol, sorry, they're all great! but so are the leaving trains, meat pups, opal, etc. figure they're probably going in stages, according to demand.

and the sst sonic youth stuff is up, probably through DGC/Universal

ants

ENTS

lovelovelove screaming trees' sst stuff

which Saccharine Trust album should I listen to first?

They're a band of two halves - the first two (PaganIcons, Surviving You Always) are arty hardcore, the latter with a different and jazzier rhythm section. It's my favourite. The later ones (Worldbroken, We Became Snakes) are more jazz fusion style, the former being an improv live album. Still good (and a precursor to Universal Congress Of) but a different beast.

Am giving We Became Snakes a go, it's pretty unlike most other SST stuff I've heard, with the possible exception of the jazzier end of the Minutemen.

Not surprising, since Mike Watt produced that one!

A Human Certainty from Paganicons is the obvious 'hit', i reckon. great guitar sounds.

Saccharine Trust's "Surviving You Always" is the great lost SST record, lost becuz as noted above it never was issued on cd and the label let it go out of print. The smartest decision I ever made was when I bought the whole ST collection sight-unheard in one fell swoope from my local record store. If you can find it, listen to this one first.

They are probably my favorite SST band and that's saying something. I love all four (and the live reocrd) for different reasons. Still at too, the album from 2001, "The Great One is Dead" is awesome and equally the level of their other records.

Just got email saying that Wienerworld are rereleasing a bunch of prime SST stuff (Husker Du, Flag, Brains) on vinyl. Weird. Pretty sure that the bands involved won't see any money from this...

That's especially weird since Husker Du & Black Flag have hardly ever been out of print on SST vinyl... in fact I just bought Flip Your Wig brand new a few weeks ago

Yeah I just looked at their website and they are just selling SST records.

Wienerworld?

Just looked at the SST website to see what vinyl they're selling and both Negativland SST albums are still in print. Are they big sellers or something? Slightly surprised me because most of the rest of the stuff was Black Flag, Huskers, firehose, Minutemen, Saint Vitus, Soundgarden etc and not much of the quirky less well-known stuff.

I don't know what Wienerworld is, but it makes me think of the Austrian/German fast-food chain, Wienerwald

I'd never heard of Wienerworld before either. I just have amazing powers of google.

I am not googling wienerworld, are you crazy?

I would think Escape From Noise would be a super good perennial for them.

My copy of the Incredible String Band movie "Be Glad for the Song has no Ending" is a Wienerworld DVD.

It's just an awful name. The denizens of Wienerworld have very good taste, but they have to tell people they work at Wienerworld.
