Hi, I'm Jess, and I'm a music lover to the core.


Not THE Jess?

Everything was cool till Yanqui and then the lack of samples made you realise how important this was to why they were so good.

Reunited.

Wish I had a place to stay in the UK-- oh hi dere LJ...

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 8 April 2010 23:20 (sixteen years ago)

my parents will be delighted to have an ilxor in their midst

actually by then I really should have a place of my own. but this is moot because for ATP you just rent a cabin at butlins and that is your home

Haha Krakow IN YOUR FACE

after a decade's retreat, god's pee has decided to roll again

Do I care about these guys anymore? I'll have to think about it...

seandalai, Thursday, 8 April 2010 23:45 (sixteen years ago)

Shit, I was interviewing Efrim recently ahead of the SMZ tour and thought it inappropriate to ask about a Godspeed! reunion. Didn't see this coming at all. Silly me, I could have got a scoop!

Tix are on sale tomorrow morning, Ned Raggett.

Doubtless.

They're just OK, I wanted to love F#A#(Infinity symbol) but eventually gave up on it.... crescendo after crescendo after crescendo just doesn't really make a good record to me. And I like Mogwai/Explosions In the Sky....

kelpolaris, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:15 (sixteen years ago)

haters and indifferent people gtfo imo

samosa gibreel, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:17 (sixteen years ago)

in your opinion.

kelpolaris, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:30 (sixteen years ago)

dud

Latham Green, Friday, 9 April 2010 02:31 (sixteen years ago)

wow, very exciting. i doubt i'll make it to ATP, but here's hoping they play some other dates.

borntohula, Friday, 9 April 2010 04:04 (sixteen years ago)

they are playing "nine american cities" and so far nothing else is even being planned

samosa gibreel, Friday, 9 April 2010 04:05 (sixteen years ago)

To me that sounds like the perfect record. And aren't EitS just Godspeed copyists?

Wow, I never saw this coming and am almost as excited about this as I am about Swans. Just hoping one of those European dates is near Vienna, cos I won't make ATP.

There'll be other British and European shows as well, they say.

massive lols at this guy who wrote "the possibilities of seeing a Godspeed You! Black Emperor reunion anytime soon are slim to none" barely two weeks ago:

eh, I like the idea that ATP were so grateful and starstruck by getting Godspeed to play for them that no-one had the chops to tell them that they'd spelled the name of their festival wrong on their cute hand-drawn flyer

I've been meaning to put up a director's cut on my blog. There's not a huge amount more, but Efrim in full flow is pretty interesting.

Count Palmiro Vicarion (Stew), Friday, 9 April 2010 13:19 (sixteen years ago)

Gah was hoping Swans would do the December ATP.

Seems pretty wrong that I love Swans/Angels of Light but I struggle with Godspeed. Time for another try..

Davek (davek_00), Friday, 9 April 2010 13:32 (sixteen years ago)

that would have been pretty ok too, but gira would prolly make it a little too much "minehead's alright if you like freak-folk"

Doesn't seem wrong to me, in that GYBE are basically very derivative of late period Swans and it's always best to drink from the source. Me I like 'em both.
