latepassapedia: records that were light years better the ones indie dudes eventually endorsed as classics

maybe not as bad as 'deej vs lex on nightslugs' but im sayin

I was working on an Earl Unit display name

Earl Unit - BUT

um BUTT

whiney's irl unit

at the pussy buffet

"Hidden World" was their breakthrough, I thought
"Epics In Minutes" is amazing
and Fucked Up are an indie band on Jade Tree & Matador so this thread is eating itself

sarahel, did you lend your login to Blowfly?

if i knew the name of fucked up's singer i would make a fat joke right now

thread did some good.

BUY IT NOW THE OPENING TRACK IS REALLY EXCITING AS IS 'DAYS OF LAST'

:)

"Epics In Minutes" is a compilation of their 7"s, "Baiting The Public", "Police", "Circling The Drain", all excellent

What is the miles davis record eventually endorsed by indie dudes as a classic then? On the Corner? Jack Johnson? Silent Way? Is there really only one?

On the Corner is pretty much the one, yeah. Indie folks don't fuck with acoustic Miles, in my experience.

On the Corner is great but it's kind of the Miles record that sounds least like a Miles record. Still, I kind of thought Bitches Brew was cannon for indie dudes who dabble in jazz.

Nah, Bitches Brew is canonical Miles for Sixties rock dudes. OTC is the one for people who grew up in a post-hip hop, post-Laswell soundworld.

Down - NOLA

^ dunno, they always got a vinyl copy of Bitches Brew for sale in indie shops. think it's the canonical Miles selection for non-jazz ppl in general. OTC is go2 for yr more "discerning" indie types.

First Clutch album (can't google the name) is an even better example.

OD has one of my favorite songs of all time on it (Dead Bent) but I actually like KMD's Mr. Hood even more...

Art of Self Defense is easily one of my favorite albums of the decade.

Contendo otm re: Miles.

Indie is superior to most genres of the past 25 years, y'know, but there were some great and very underrated non-indie albums released in the first half of the 80s:

Depeche Mode: Construction Time Again
Thompson Twins: Quick Step & Sidekick
Howard Jones: Human's Lib
Alphaville: Forever Young

so you guys have been having one hell of a sunday huh

WOOT!

i honestly didn't think using a seemingly self-explanatory shorthand for "publications on the web and in print that focus primarily on indie (the genre) music" would be all that inflammatory. But it's apparantly like Pauly D from Jersey Shore walking into the middle of Daddy's at happy hour and yelling "HIPSTERS!"

never under estimate the dumb shit people can get butthurt about on this site

some pretty awesome faux-naivete "honest officer, I had no idea..."

seriously, though, i thought ilx took pride in setting itself from "corny indie fuxxors" instead of immediately wanting to chain themselves at the gates of the Hype Machine offices because someone said something that looks little disparaging about the fucking hivemind

\o_O/

guys, Phoenix might not be a good band

*runs away*

anyway

linkin park - meteora

seriously, though, i thought ilx took pride in setting itself from "corny indie fuxxors"

Fucked Up - Hidden World

anyways, these are both wrong if you stick to your original "light years better" assertion instead of your softpedaled "pre-hype records worth checking out"

i think the new metal mountains record is record of the year so far but it /MIGHT/ be an indie rock record, it's hard to tell.

lmao

so are groundswell, rise rise rise or stay afraid worth checking out

8-)

nu-balearic is latepass for naked records

:p

this is the bobbing turd of suck in an otherwise delightful punchbowl

fuck a poppalmoose tho

Yeah, this is the part about this thread that feels off to me. I don't buy the notion that there is a single "best" record that invalidates all other releases by some of the artists listed itt.

I feel this way about Mastodon and Spiritualized. Leviathan and Lazer Guided Melodies are both excellent, but in no way light years better than subsequent albums.

Most bands that I truly like have multiple albums that I would listen to.

Not unless the music they make all of a sudden started rocking.

is low an indie rock band? what about flying saucer attack

i'm gonna stop trolling this thread now, sorry guys
