Ah, I had missed that!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 2 March 2015 21:32 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, they've played together a handful of times over the years, but still very cool. Fond memories of them headlining a free outdoor concert in Urbana right as "Stars" was blowing up for them, great show.
Also lol at when Bush played Champaign in 1995 and Gavin Rossdale wore a Hum shirt.

haha! my friend said she went to that show in 1995. She was staying at a hotel and was waiting in the lobby for her friend when Gavin came down and sat near her, striking up a conversation. He eventually took his shirt off, natch

Hey, 1995 me thought 1995 Gavin was super hot, so fair play. But a bit weird in a hotel lobby.
That was the same show where Gwen Stefani told me she loved me and dumped a water bottle on my head.

i remember thinking at the time that i could have predicted that ending before she even told me. lawllll
― Poliopolice, Monday, 2 March 2015 22:27 (nine years ago) link
these two albums are long overdue for a deluxe remaster type deal
also, heard the new Torche today and I bet those guys have spent some time listening to Hum
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 3 March 2015 02:14 (nine years ago) link
This thread got me thinking about this band again and in doing a little research found out that there were two albums released before YPAA. Never knew this! Anyone heard these? Worth seeking out?
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Wednesday, 4 March 2015 18:29 (nine years ago) link
yeah "electra 2000" rules
― billstevejim, Thursday, 5 March 2015 07:09 (nine years ago) link
i liked it okay in that era but over time it was one of the ones i sold back in some one of many waves of cd hoard purging (keeping 'astronaut' and 'downward'), must have just never felt like playing it for years
― j., Thursday, 5 March 2015 07:41 (nine years ago) link
also search the "Puppets"/"Aphids" single.

woah

i mean the cover is rainbow bridge so i'm gonna fuck with this
― crystal-brained yogahead (map), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:00 (three years ago) link
this is such an awesome unexpected gift
― crystal-brained yogahead (map), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:03 (three years ago) link
i cried a little at the guitar tone
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:03 (three years ago) link
Fantastic news! Trying to decide if I can hold out for the physical version in September. Very doubtful.
Still one of the best shows I saw in college was when these guys headlined an outdoor festival at West Side Park in Champaign in 1996.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:10 (three years ago) link
Okay, yep, not gonna be able to hold out.
WHATTTT

WHOA ?!?!?!?!
― Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:26 (three years ago) link
I'm so excited about this that I can't decide how best to listen to it!!
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:27 (three years ago) link
y'all this album is so good????!?!?!??!?!
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:28 (three years ago) link
this coming out 20 years after White Pony is some beautiful synchronicity

it's super good!

I guess they now have Shiner's drummer, seems like an appropriate choice

that opening riff/sound brought a rush of emotions lol
― Spottie, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:30 (three years ago) link
waiting till I can blast this on proper speakers whilst high, that seems like the appropriate and respectful thing to do
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:32 (three years ago) link
this has begun explosively
― imago, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:37 (three years ago) link
Nice.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:50 (three years ago) link
yeah this is extremely heavy, we're talking like angelic process heavy
― imago, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:52 (three years ago) link
wowTY Brad for letting us know
― calstars, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:54 (three years ago) link
holy shit
― j., Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:56 (three years ago) link
Yeah, it's why I'm holding off for now. I'd love to do this while holding the physical thing in my hand to start at the cover, but since they won't even be shipping until the end of August that seems very... unlikely.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:58 (three years ago) link
why would you hold off
― imago, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:59 (three years ago) link
get stoned right now and pretend you're next to the ocean
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:00 (three years ago) link
Specifically because for the next five hours at least I am stuck at my work laptop with really shitty speakers. Def not going to experience this for the first time like that. I'll wait until tonight and I can at least stream it to my better speakers.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:02 (three years ago) link
fair, fair

Liking this so far
Brad is it this weeks album of the year? ;)
― Oor Neechy, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:05 (three years ago) link
yes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:17 (three years ago) link
it's been ~17 years since I first heard DiH, I can wait another few hours
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:24 (three years ago) link
this album is riff city
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:24 (three years ago) link
its great
― Oor Neechy, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:26 (three years ago) link
tracks 2 and 3 are the pinnacle (maybe 7 too) but yeah
― imago, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:29 (three years ago) link
"cloud city" -> "folding"... lysergic guitar bliss
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:34 (three years ago) link
yeah that too i almost threw in cloud city
― imago, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:34 (three years ago) link
god though the end of 'in the den'
― imago, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:38 (three years ago) link
an ending so powerful they do it again on the next track and it's just as good
― imago, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 18:45 (three years ago) link
relistening to DiH in preparation and it's now obvious to me that Hum are the shane carruth of rock. no I will not be taking questions
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link
Well then, this is a bit oceanic, innit...

Absolutely gutted to hear this. A tremendous loss that would be heartbreaking at any time, but feels even more difficult after the success and hype around Inlet. 2021 was shaping up to be a fantastic year for Hum.

RIP, damn
― ufo, Thursday, 1 July 2021 23:29 (two years ago) link
It's kinda fitting they found him as a drummer by hearing him play along to Rush through a window. Their rekkid last year was my fave of the year. His drumming was so inventive & serviced the songs so well. Really bummed about this. Cranking 'Downward' tonight.
― BlackIronPrison, Thursday, 1 July 2021 23:34 (two years ago) link
Sad news. He was a hard hitter but still had the touch and the groove. Rip
― calstars, Friday, 2 July 2021 01:05 (two years ago) link
ffs that's terrible. such an interesting drummer who really shaped the sound of that band.

this band is . . . indebted to hum. which is fine with me

Sorry, this is shameless. Almost admirable in its devotion to not having a single original idea

Yeah. I gave it a chance, but it ended up just on the wrong side of annoying

I like Milly!

Goddamn this band.
Working my way through the post-Fillet Show discography today and just, wow. I'd argue three perfect albums in a row with Astronaut > Downward > Inlet.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 23 February 2024 18:11 (three months ago) link
I still can't believe how good Inlet is, especially after such a long break (decades!). I need to remember this the next time we have a poll about great late-period / comeback albums
― Paul Ponzi, Saturday, 24 February 2024 01:23 (three months ago) link
I bought a Hum hoodie from Matt Talbot's distro and it came in a box with an Airheads candy in it. Then I looked at the Hum Starsposting FB group and learned that he does that with all orders.
