90s guitar college rock indie... The 80s are back now so lets hope this comes next?

Some of her reeeealy high notes are a bit wincey but it works anyway.

:)

U have the best taste in tunes JF! <3

Yeah its not bad! Sometimes girl singers from the 90s can sound kind of dated, like later Velocity Girl, but this is pretty good.

If anyone is feeling the 90s mood, may I suggest the Let's Electrify! EP by Versus. Revisiting it now and having fun with it.

vanilla trainwreck, anyone?

I saw Stereolab open for Unrest in '93. Great show.

I saw the same bill in Detroit. yeah, fantastic!

vanilla trainwreck

i was about to mention a song i like of theirs till i realised i was thinking of chainsaw kittens

dear lord

sound kind of dated, like later Velocity Girl

u mad

i r also seeing swervedriver next week, just not the same show as trayce

were i to explain unrest to anyone i wld probably stick to the imperial period but they were p heavily factory influenced the whole way thru so it's not a bad point of ref

venus beads

I hope one of you get to record some of the Swervedriver show

I'll try to - I got a great bit of video @ Wire the other week so its doable.

Thanks!

Just bought some vinyls today:

Strapping Fieldhands - In The Pineys 10" sealed
Ropers - Sunbathe 7"
Ropers - I Don't Mind 7"
Kudgel / Luca Brasi - Split 7"
Duster - Transmission, Flux 7"

I am mourning the awesome 2ndhand viyl store that was like 10 mins walk from my house, it closed last month. SO SAD.

:( Did they have any clearance sales?

Or was it slim pickings at the end.

They did and like a fucking chump I didnt go :(

Its alright there is always online shopping :/

I've been looking for this compilation called "Fast Forward" released on Brinkman records. I'm not sure if it will be as good as I remember. It was a home recording mix with Smog, Dump, and other of my favorites from the 90's. I also recently found a box of tapes at my mom's house from high school with lot's of Shrimper comps and a tape called Huggy Nation. It was fun listening to them again.

I never checked out Dump...

dump is rad. are their/his records still readily available? I Can Hear Music is amazing lo-fi 90s indie.

Shit and I missed them opening for someone at Maxwells... can't remember which show...

Oops I'm dot doting too much here.

think they opened for oneida a little while back. "they" - i don't really know if dump really is a band in a live setting or if it's just mcnew. I guess yo la tengo is potentially doing Dump sets as part of their wheel of fortune tour.

Oh I see. Well I missed them opening for the Clean. But I was lucky to catch the Clean who were so great! That was a lot of fun.

I don't know if Dump's cd are easy to find. They were released on brinkman records, at least Superpowerless and I can hear music were. I did find this http://warehousesongs.blogspot.com/2010/01/dump-james-mcnew-yo-la-tengo-3-albuns.html

pretty sure that prince covers CD is out of print (forcibly, by the purple one's lawyers). it is really really good!

Really? Funny that prince would even bother James Mcnew. Brinkman records folded years ago. I never heard Grown Ass Man but A Plea for Tenderness is just as good as the first two, maybe better.

i could be wrong, but i feel like i heard something about other music being told to stop selling the prince covers thing. funny that the last dump album came out in 2003! guess he is busy enough with YLT.

Have you guys heard aMINIATURE? I remember loving one cd of theirs but haven't heard it in years. I think they sounded sort of like Versus, maybe not as poppy?

I would like to hear this album again, I think it would still hold up.

Ha ha, I pulled that out not long ago and it did still sound good. I posted an extra track from that online years back. Also really like their song on the Matador compilation.

What do they sound like?

they are kind of jazz rock with noisy bits. Sort of like Thinking Fellers Local Union 282.
I just found it online here http://panzanblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/timber-parts-and-labor-re-up.html
A lot of the songs do still hold up, really good experimental passages, like "The Real N.Y." and "Bad Education" is a nice faux jazzy lounge number. Also reminds me of a lot of what bands like Run On and Sue Gardner were doing.

I got their cd when I was first discovering Krautrock and they fit in nicely among a lot of those bands, esp with the ears of the 17 year old I was then.

And upthread Madder Rose was mentioned!! I saw them open for the Sundays in high school and their debut was one of my favorites. Their show was better than the Sundays even.

Sounds interesting I'll check it out, thanks!

Another album I got recently is

Should - "A Folding Sieve"

Its very good!

Oh yeah, and I recently won on ebay the "Why Popstars Can't Dance" comp by Slumberland on vinyl, that has more material than the CD version. Very excited to get that one in the mail.

the extra stuff is kinda inessential but nice to have nonetheless

the words on music label that did the should stuff is pretty great overall, and their stuff is available super cheap from the label..

Well the CD isn't going for much less at all so it is worth it just let me be excited GAWD! :)

Anyway, "A Folding Sieve" is out of print, so I got a practically new copy for $10 with my employee discount, since it is going for $35 on Amazon.

i have a tiny suspicion the should stuff might be reissued soon but i don't think it's supposed to include any additional material

Really? I didn't realize there was enough demand! I figured they were forgotten.

Despite the crazy prices for Folding.

actually it looks like i got confused - they have a new album coming out but i think i'd been under the impression they were repressing 'folding' along with it

about Versus, did you guys ever heard Fontaine first ep? I Order it from Chickfactor and played it endless. iIt's worth seeking out. their second cd was ok, very good on certain songs, but the first one was drowning sadness. So good.

"I Want It All" was their first mini album. And Containe, not Fontaine

Thats what she

sorry
