The future of Stereolab

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.

Laetitia’s albums are on Spotify now, thanks to Drag City

Another cool cover version comp

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!

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?

behind Richard Marx

god who fucking cares? Jordan Peterson is a dumb asshole. Sadier has a Bad Opinion. Stereolab still rules.

Otm

well, I guess we know the future of Stereolab now

"Don't we all know the dangers of two conflicting viewpoints? An active troublemaker fanning the flame of dissent...so aggravating"

^lyric was intended as irony for those who didn't get it.

stereolab is to mumford and sons what jordan peterson is to morrissey

Morals are for the blind, not the critical mind
Morals which don't even tackle the real issues
Moral Which seek intervention and control
Morals which don't even tackle the real problems
Morals that just seek control over our lives

(the latter in reference to: https://www.thecut.com/2018/08/jordan-peterson-carnivore-diet-mikhaila-meat.html)

It's alright 'cause the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
Don't worry be happy things will get better naturally
Don't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy

Pretty sure her Marx ship sailed once she started doing Red Bull events.

That's a dumb thing to criticize a working musician for tbh, still gotta live/eat in the world as it is

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

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

it's still disappointing

i don't believe in black and white "cancelling" or kneejerk shunning
i reserve the right to be personally disappointed by people when they reveal themselves to have repellent beliefs

sure it is disappointing

but the culture of take down and kill your idols is shite

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.

otm

xp it is counterproductive
that is why i drew the distinction

thanks la lechera appreciated

RED bull dys

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.

Rosie Cuckston is one of 'them' too - they are almost a cult.

do some research on Living Marxism/Spiked/Revolutionary Communist Party and this current turn of events will come as no great surprise.

Or just read some Stereolab lyrics.

Looks like not many of their fans have.

Am I the only one who doesn't know who this Peterson dude is?

tom, i dont care.
