Ghost could probably do a sweet psych jam on "Unchained Melody" that's for sure.

The Terrastock 4 show -- indescribable. They had only about ten minutes and they made the most of it beyond description.― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, April 13, 2006 9:43 AM (3 years ago)

A recording of that set turned up on Dim3 and, holy cow, it was as amazing and WTF as I remembered it being.

Hmm, need to look for that!

Picked up the CD/DVD Live in Nippon package today for ultra cheap at my local, can't wait to dig in!

that one is pretty cool, though it leans mainly towards the avant-improv side of things. they were so great in Denver last year! Kurihara is a guitar god. also, those batoh/espvall CDs shouldn't be slept on.
― tylerw, Thursday, 13 May 2010 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link
I absolutely love Kurihara, his album with Boris is just gorgeous.

wait how many are there? I like the one I have a lot (weirdest version of St. James Infirmary Blues ever?)

er I mean Death Letter
there's that one, and then another one that came out last year ... Overloaded Ark. Might be better than the first one!
― tylerw, Thursday, 13 May 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link
(and yeah that Death Letter was weeeeeird!)
I feel like Kurihara is like the secret hero of the last decade in music. Everything he touched turned to gold!
― tylerw, Thursday, 13 May 2010 21:27 (fourteen years ago) link
his solo album is great. last track is like whoa
― original bgm, Thursday, 13 May 2010 21:38 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, that is worth picking up -- think it was released on Damon & Naomi's label? there's a bunch of stuff of his i haven't heard, judging from this page: http://www.wfmu.org/~rlim/kuri/k_intro.htmlsomeone made me a mix of his career up to 2004 or so though.
― tylerw, Thursday, 13 May 2010 21:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Damn, what an impressive discography! And it seems to mostly stop shortly after 2000.
― he's always been a bit of an anti-climb Max (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 13 May 2010 21:43 (fourteen years ago) link
he has certainly played in a lot of bands!

yep. that's the one. sunset notes.
bookmarked that wfmu page. whoa!

I have an extra copy of Sunset Notes, will be throwing it up on eBay for a few bucks shortly... anyone want it here instead, for relatively cheap?

I have Lama Rabi Rabi and Snuffbox Immanence....I feel bad about getting out of touch with them.

Stormy do you have the 2nd one, Overloaded Ark? even better imo.
― sleeve, Sunday, 15 August 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link
I saw Boris play with Kurihara on guitar and it was pretty incredible, so I got Hypnotic Underworld. I was bored to tears. I'd like to like these guys. What am I supposed to like about these guys?
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
dunno, if hypnotic underworld bored you to tears, then maybe Ghost isn't for you. that's probably the best entry point to the band ...
― tylerw, Sunday, 15 August 2010 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't expect Ghost to be like Boris. You could try Snuffbox Immanence too. Do u like Flower Travelin' Band?
― Henry's Hepcat (admrl), Sunday, 15 August 2010 21:47 (thirteen years ago) link
half of hypnotic underworld is amazing; other half meanders.
yeah, they're nothing like boris.
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 15 August 2010 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link
I have and dig Satori, but I get more of a 13th Floor Elevators vibe from FTB than Ghost. What is Snuffbox Immanence?
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 22:58 (thirteen years ago) link
sleeve, I do not have 'Overloaded Ark' yet ... it is totally on my list!!
Zorn guy .. um, Flower Travelling Band and Ghost are entirely different bands ... what are you , racist?
anyway, you're a very lame troll but yeah 'Snuffbox Immanence' is a Ghost LP. and it fucking rules
oh and for the record, Ghost >>>>>>>>> Boris
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Whooooooooa friend, somebody asked me if I liked FTB and I answered the question. Troll yourself.
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:06 (thirteen years ago) link
ehhhhh , whatever .... Boris is such a joke of a band, really ...
I love my Leningrad Blues Machine, A.N.P., Fushitsusha, Boredoms, White Heaven, and Hanadensha LPs, thank you very much. ... but i have no idea how this mid-tier band "Boris" got levitated to such god-like status in recent years, I mean they are good but by no means worthy of the hype
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
and you are right, I did miss the part where adamrl asked you about FTB, so I apologize about that (altho i still think that is weird.. the two bands sound totally different...)
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:12 (thirteen years ago) link
and FTB don't sound like the elevators!
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Idk I'm not accusing them of ripping them off or anything, I just hear a lot of Satori in Easter Everywhere and vice versa.
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:56 (thirteen years ago) link
And I'm not gonna defend Boris. You like em or you don't. I do, like, a bunch.
All that fun stuff having been said, I am getting Snuffbox Immanence as we speak.

And Daniel I don't know that I represent ILM by any means, but if I recall correctly their polls here have been popular affairs.
boris are hit or miss but when they hit they hit hard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cjUITjfwcg
ghost are a little more consistent but yeah they're not like boris much

Right I mean I feel like saying that "Boris is consistent" is like saying "restaurants are consistent." There are so many different kinds of Boris that you can't rely on them to do The Thing They Do because there is no Thing. There is just The Stuff.

you are kidding right? ever seen Fushitsusha live? I am guessing not ... Boris are so mediocre , Fushitsusha move mountains

why would i have seen them live? after hearing so much about the legendary haino that i had to investigate, i was treated to albums worth of really dull stoner garage.
