bassist when i saw them was just some douchey looking guy with a haircut
― flopson, Thursday, 17 May 2012 14:32 (fourteen years ago)
best show I have seen in aaaaaaages
missed the Men. Strange Boys were boring. White Fence was good. Ty Segall fucking RIPPED. seriously awesome.
― dmr, Thursday, 17 May 2012 15:46 (fourteen years ago)
he came out with White Fence to do Long Black Curtain but I think that was the only song they did off "Hair." other than that they each had separate sets.
one of Ty Segall's encores was a cover of Gimme Some Money by the Thamesmen, from Spinal Tap. lolol.
all the stuff from Melted sounded incredible. Girlfriend and Finger were probably my favorites of the set.

Ty Segall was great. Missed everything else due to a transport fail but this felt like a christening. Crowd going nuts. Big, crowded NY room. He's on his waaaaay!
also lol @ this upthread:
guy with a haircut
^everyone has a haircut^

so we can eliminate him as the bassist.

mm yeah no, that wasn't him

"imaginary person" is a really really great song

yep. people I was with (people who see way too many shows) were like, "this show felt 'important' in a way most shows don't."
from the stage he said it was the best show they ever played
― dmr, Friday, 18 May 2012 20:26 (fourteen years ago)
it's crazy how much better his live show has gotten since just last summer
― flopson, Friday, 18 May 2012 20:31 (fourteen years ago)
he came out with White Fence to do Long Black Curtain but I think that was the only song they did off "Hair."
uh that's Long White Curtain and it's on White Fence Family Perfume. department of self corrections.
I know they did some of the joint tracks but I don't have that record yet. so I dunno.
― dmr, Friday, 18 May 2012 22:51 (fourteen years ago)
i guess i need to see him sometime soon then, cuz he was putting on great shows a couple years back, but i haven't seen him in a while

I'm starting to think the Ty Segall Band's "Slaughterhouse" is Segall's best album yet.
Agree? Disagree?
Unsure? Then hear it (thanks Whiney): http://www.spin.com/articles/hear-ty-segall-bands-gnarly-full-slaughterhouse
― alpine static, Monday, 25 June 2012 17:55 (thirteen years ago)
Shit shit shi; I really want to stream this, but every time I click on the link (or any link to Spin's website), I get redirected to the Spin homepage. Does anybody know how to work around this?
― Evan R, Monday, 25 June 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)
After a few spins I think it is equal to his best albums which is high praise. Although Tell Me What's Inside Your Heart and Wave Goodbye sound like two of his best ever songs. I will probably have changed my mind by next week and consider it his best album!
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Monday, 25 June 2012 19:09 (thirteen years ago)
same thing happens to me but if you are using firefox apparently it works better on different browsers, also if you follow links within spin website rather than going straight fom external link you won't get constantly redirected i think
― carly rae (flopson), Monday, 25 June 2012 20:10 (thirteen years ago)
damn, slaughterhouse rocks! this dude is going to be huge, isn't he?
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 June 2012 19:53 (thirteen years ago)
I don't think dudes get to be huge anymore.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 28 June 2012 19:55 (thirteen years ago)
my waistline begs to differ. slaughterhouse is amazing though.
― contenderizer, Thursday, 28 June 2012 19:56 (thirteen years ago)
what i mean is: this dude is totally going to be selling out 300-seat venues soon, isn't he?!
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 June 2012 19:57 (thirteen years ago)
somewhere between de stijl and white blood cells huge
― contenderizer, Thursday, 28 June 2012 19:59 (thirteen years ago)
he's def not going to have to do his one man band shit anymore
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:00 (thirteen years ago)
think this dude could def be huge

he's going to save rock n roll
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:06 (thirteen years ago)
plus he cute
― contenderizer, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:07 (thirteen years ago)
really excited to hear the new one, "hair" was super dope
― the late great, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:34 (thirteen years ago)
still think "Melted" is the best but that was pretty awesome (just listened to the Spin stream)
I wanted to buy "Hair" yesterday but Other Music didn't have it
― dmr, Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:22 (thirteen years ago)
I'd love to see this dude blow up, I think he should at least be able to get to Jay Reatard levels. Which isn't huge huge, but not too shabby for a garage rock dude.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:43 (thirteen years ago)
kind of surprised he isn't there yet, tbh
― contenderizer, Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:56 (thirteen years ago)
jay reatard levels?
― the late great, Thursday, 28 June 2012 23:51 (thirteen years ago)
I would say he is currently at least as big as, or about to be. I don't remember Jay Reatard packing Webster Hall
― dmr, Friday, 29 June 2012 00:20 (thirteen years ago)
let's hope he won't get huge, cause it will probably make his music worse as it almost always does.plus, the "one man band" thing is one of the major reasons his records are good.in short, things should stay as they are imo.
― nostormo, Friday, 29 June 2012 18:35 (thirteen years ago)
ty segall is bigger than jay reatard ever was when he was alive
― carly rae (flopson), Friday, 29 June 2012 18:41 (thirteen years ago)
and better
― nostormo, Friday, 29 June 2012 18:41 (thirteen years ago)
rly? last couple times i saw jay, the audience was huge and super dedicated, including pretty broad cross-section of scenes and peoples. have only seen ty play smaller joints to a more homogenous group of hipster indie-punk types.
― contenderizer, Friday, 29 June 2012 18:43 (thirteen years ago)
that would be a hard poll
re: popularity like stuff isn't challenging at all & his greatest pop moments are pretty easy to imagine being enjoyed by anyone who likes pop rock
― carly rae (flopson), Friday, 29 June 2012 18:44 (thirteen years ago)
some narcissism of small difference in my last post, cuz the "pretty broad cross section" i'm talking about just means different stripes of punks and rockers
― contenderizer, Friday, 29 June 2012 18:44 (thirteen years ago)
yeah obviously this anecdotal sample is not perfectly representative & are really dependent on time & locale. you said you haven't seen him in a while, he really blew up in the past year, the show here was at a modest sized-venue but it sold out and huge crowds were denied, played huge show in nyc, pitchfork best new music, etc
― carly rae (flopson), Friday, 29 June 2012 18:49 (thirteen years ago)
yeah, i haven't seen ty recently, and his profile's obviously risen since i last did
― contenderizer, Friday, 29 June 2012 18:53 (thirteen years ago)
facebook tells me ty segall is three times as famous as jay reatard
― the late great, Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:34 (thirteen years ago)
this is comfortably not his best record, but it's still really good
― carly rae (flopson), Friday, 6 July 2012 19:43 (thirteen years ago)
ok sorry this is insanely good
― carly rae (flopson), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:24 (thirteen years ago)
drag city sent out a release today about his OTHER record "Twins" that's coming out. that is a lotta material.
really psyched for his tour with the Oh Sees in the fall. playing in September in NYC at the new Bushwick venue that my friend is working on (The Well).
― dmr, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 17:08 (thirteen years ago)
That does sound like fun. Probably can't count on a Mid-MO show.
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 18:18 (thirteen years ago)
yeah doesn't look like it. nowhere close really.

If I hadn't read about the lack of guitars beforehand, I'm not sure I would have guessed from listening.

This guy has kind of fallen off the ilx radar a little it seems, new one ("Hello, Hi") is another really good one. Mostly acoustic, pretty chill, but still filled with gems.
