nice — you know, I'm pretty happy with the current Tim / Laetitia situation ... they're both putting out very strong stuff. willing to bet there's a live reunion of some sort in the near-ish future, but no rush ...

damn ned i misread your post as "a slew of shows is now on bandcamp"
― flappy bird, Monday, 5 February 2018 17:55 (six years ago) link
for such a beloved and amazing live band there's a relative dearth of recordings out there. every era is represented but often by only a handful of shows. maybe idk where to find them since they're not on archive.org

can anyone tell me how they get the bass sound on metronomic underground? i'm in love with that muted palm styling that broadcast also uses

The original Jazz Bass had felt mutes on the bridge - most likely something like that, or the flip-up mute on the Bass VI, but the tone is more Jazzy.https://i.imgur.com/8CaHTDN.jpg

what in the mother fuck
@jordanbpeterson I am so gutted by the treatment The Guardian -and some of the well to do media- has given you this week. You have all my support and many thanks for your clarity and -oh too rare- courage to speak the truth!— Lætitia Sadier (@SadierLae) February 12, 2018

I wasn't giving him a pass, wtf? Dude sucks. It IS very interesting because it makes NO sense - Stereolab are one of the most well known / successful Marxist band in history, right?

It's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shownHow the economical cycle tends to revolveIn a round of decades three stages stand out in a loopA slump and war then peel back to square one and back for moreBigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recoveryHuger slump and greater wars and a shallower recoveryDon't worry be happy things will get better naturallyDon't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy

Yeah I mean this is a pretty common thing for artists as they age - becoming conservative - but I don’t remember any indication at all that Laetitia did that.Also who found the tweet lol
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:07 (six years ago) link
laetitia sadier rules - similar to kate bush and her conservative beliefs - why do a musicians views politically really mean shit when they rule so hard
― eris (Ross), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:08 (six years ago) link
it's still disappointing

i don't believe in black and white "cancelling" or kneejerk shunningi reserve the right to be personally disappointed by people when they reveal themselves to have repellent beliefs
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:11 (six years ago) link
sure it is disappointing
but the culture of take down and kill your idols is shite
― eris (Ross), Thursday, 2 August 2018 20:12 (six years ago) link
My 2 cents is that she's always been more of a crackpot than a deep political thinker, but she got a pass because her views tended to align more to the left. She's still a great artist, and I'm not planning to light my Stereolab collection on fire over this.
Also, it may be interesting to discuss, but I'm not sure it was so important as to require several different thread revives.

As I said on the other thread, maybe do some research on Living Marxism/Spiked/Revolutionary Communist Party and this current turn of events will come as no great surprise.
