Yeah, I'm beginning to get worried about the clashes already.
Other final additions are The Sadies, Tindersticks and two bands whose sole contribution seems to be some Canadian comp - one called Dreamcatcher who describe themselves as "big beat psychedelic" and I can't remember the other.

I listened to Dreamcatcher (albeit through shitty comp speakers) this morning and they sounded neither big beat nor psychedelic
stoked for the madness regardless
lol I *think* I'm in a chalet with someone who has already been zinged on ILM this morning (not a poster)

It's interesting re-reading the early posts here from almost 10 years ago, especially because G!YBE became one of the definitive cult bands to emerge from the late 90s/early 00s. The "Love 'em or Hate 'em" approach derided in the OP has become the default mode for discourse about them. I still love 'em and I think they put together the best ATP in a long, long, long time. Really wish I was going.

yeah it's def. the best atp line-up for ages! i can't wait

it's like the biggest build up to absolutely nothing same goes for sigur ros
mogwai manage to actually climax, where as these bands struggle to get their dick hard and once they do just can't seem to spunk

thanks

sorry, it's the only way i could put it really, instead you can think about a kettle boiling but not reaching 100 degrees if that offended you

do you and me a favour and listen to this

― acoleuthic, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:35 (thirteen years ago) link
but it's 10 minutes long :( a band should have plugged in, rocked out, played 10 songs, smashed their guitars up and left the stage by then.
― jumpskins, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link
mogwai is emo for the unwashed & inarticulate, not a good exemplar to use when listening to gybe.
― ogmor, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:37 (thirteen years ago) link
jumpskins it is their second-shortest released song and also their finest hours, please give it the patience you'd give two or three oasis songs
― acoleuthic, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:38 (thirteen years ago) link
lololol @ 'finest hours', apt
haven't listened in a long time, but i still like the strange space of the first album best, the dreamlike flow from conversations to tunes, to field recordings, it was tactile and mysterious. static>steve albini
― ogmor, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:45 (thirteen years ago) link
first album is awesome. lift yr skinny fists and new zero kanada are amazingly overrated
― acoleuthic, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:48 (thirteen years ago) link
final album is hulking wrathful beast of titanic rock and roll vengeance and it doesn't fuck with field recordings because it is classical fucking music
― acoleuthic, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 00:49 (thirteen years ago) link
it's dressed up as classical music
― ogmor, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
But there's strings and things, it's clearly classical.

Met a kid at the Pavement concert who got an ATP tattoo right on his arm... he said his biggest dissapointment with it is that more people recognized it as adenosine tripohsphate, which is basically a chemical reaction that oversees how you process energy. Personally I thought it was terrible tattoo (forever visibly marked on your arm = that one time i went to an art-rock concert?), but ur body is urs, I guess.

Managed to snag some of the last tickets for the first show in MTL - not a super-fun morning, though the 30-40 people behind me had a considerably worse time.
― Simon H., Monday, 29 November 2010 16:37 (thirteen years ago) link
lol i keep forgetting about this, it's still like a quarter-year to go until the new york dates
― fauxmarc, Monday, 29 November 2010 16:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I got some MTL tickets too, but trying not to think about it much. End of April seems like a lifetime away with a long cold winter in between.
― sofatruck, Monday, 29 November 2010 16:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Very pleased with the relative lack of clashes on the timetable. Nice scheduling. Thanks!
― krakow, Monday, 29 November 2010 21:13 (thirteen years ago) link
so who else went to one of these shows
i saw em last night, showed up just as they started but lucked out & joined a parade off ppl who muscled to the front & then once i got tired and had to pee got lucky and found seats on the mezzanine. found it really profoundly overwhelming in a pretty great way, & just their presence and the location so majestic
if anyone's seen them before, do they not usually speak ever? i saw a silver mt zion a couple years ago & they were cracking jokes and talking to the audience between every song basically & in a really hilarious way, which i missed last night
― flopson, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 16:51 (thirteen years ago) link
was really underwhelmed at the nyc church show, the place was way too huge, lost intimacy, same light show (which was sort of draining and repetetive). alas.
― fauxmarc, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah that's Efrim's style in ASMZ mode, he's a very funny guy. but you're right, neither he nor any of the others ever speak to the audience as gy!be
― ban this sick stunt (anagram), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 17:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Saw them last Friday, it was a great show, but yeah no talking at all. Was a bit draining standing near the front, but we couldn't find seats in the mezzanine. This was at the Corona and it is pitch black up there when the show is on.
