rizzx (Rizz), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:42 (eighteen years ago) link

They won't, rizzx. It'll be a single album, Happy New Year.

willem -- (willem), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 09:15 (eighteen years ago) link

but:
"it turns out that we’re not going to release a triple album on July 4th called Thank You Parents. We’ve decided against it for sanity’s sake. We’ll be releasing a single album called “Happy New Year”

!

Awwww.
Maybe we can persuade hurlothrumbos mind here on this very thread!

"never heard their Battiato cover, tho their Ulmer cover kills. YSI?"

I can send you a copy of the album, if you're interested. There are a couple still lying around my house.

Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 14:42 (eighteen years ago) link

it's great! ;-)

willem -- (willem), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 15:40 (eighteen years ago) link

well, we've been pretty pleased with it.
it was really funny to have all these guys singing in italian language - some of them did an amazing job!

Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 15:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Marco! Can i take one?

rizzx (Rizz), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 15:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Marco, i'd love to hear it. i believe i was asking "Za" questions once on the Battiato thread about it...

Beta (abeta), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm going to send you an e-mail at your address!

Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:12 (eighteen years ago) link

hey marco! (its pete)

i gotta say, the wedding never clicked with me. this is after EOTO and secret wars and all the surrounding EP's and splits and comp tracks were some of my favorite stuff of all time. its not that i think the wedding's direction isnt fruitful, but it feels tentative in places.

pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't believe Zu is on that comp! So cool. I just started listening to Zu and they keep coming up seemingly everywhere. The whole Battiato comp looks good; I need to get that. Though I think I've only heard one or two actual Battiato tunes evah. xp

The Wedding wasn't my favorite either. I truly loved Secret Wars and still anticipate everything they do. Has anyone explored the Brah Records catalog?

mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I've just listened to the samples at the Brah website and liked what I heard. Rock, you know? The Prehistoric Maze split 12" is awesome, of course.

Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

(ciao pete!)

Zu are really one of the best Italian bands ever. Great people too: check also their side project Ardecore (traditionals sung in Roman dialect, its a must!).

Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Andy, if you're interested just drop me your address!

Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 17:11 (eighteen years ago) link

the stocky, Wednesday, 24 May 2006 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

no 'seek+destroy' the Oneida!
i needs them!!!

eedd, Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Oneida fans - what was the song they did at ATP that is one clipped chord as a drone with "lieslieslieslieslieslieslies" etc over the top - about 7 minutes long? I have a pile of the back catalogue coming in the mail and would appreciate being pointed to it rather than wade through everything when it's the track I want to listen to first.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 1 June 2006 11:12 (seventeen years ago) link

that was 'sheets of easter' off the each one teach one album, discussed above - go find it!

the secret show in london in 2003 that lauren mentions above was a careless talk night, and was amazing. 2 songs, 'sheets of easter' and a cover of husker du's 'new day rising', for about an hour. GOD HEAD.

You've got to look into the LIGHT.

Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Thursday, 1 June 2006 12:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I have 'each one teach one' in the post, YAY ME.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 1 June 2006 12:20 (seventeen years ago) link

one year passes...

Alright someone please clarify:

Does the vinyl version of Each One Teach One have a locked groove, or is my copy just fucked? I can't find any info online and it's bugging me.

Reatards Unite, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:20 (sixteen years ago) link

hahahaha

Tracer Hand, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:36 (sixteen years ago) link

are you sure that's not just how it's supposed to go?

Tracer Hand, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:36 (sixteen years ago) link

I left it on for like 20 minutes and it was still playing

Reatards Unite, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:48 (sixteen years ago) link

thats how its supposed to go!

stevie, Monday, 3 September 2007 08:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Sheets of Easter goes on for 14 minutes...Antibiotics for 16 1/2. That, my good friend, is not fucked vinyl. It is Heaven.

brightscreamer, Monday, 3 September 2007 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Does the needle move? If yes, it's not a locked groove. I saw them play Sheets, right when it came out. I think they were in a "locked groove".

dan selzer, Monday, 3 September 2007 16:17 (sixteen years ago) link

we put them on in london shortly after it came out on CD, and they played two (2) songs - Sheets of Easter, and then an epic 30 minute cover of 'new day rising'. it was GODLIKE.

stevie, Monday, 3 September 2007 16:34 (sixteen years ago) link

did anyone see the "10th anniversary" show at PS1? I was bummed I had to work. I still haven't seen them live and I have like 6 of their records! but I was late to get on board with them, I got The Wedding when it came out and worked my way backward ....

every album I've heard by them is so different, and great in its own way. a couple months ago I was listening to TO SEED AND FLOWER off Anthem over and over. I really need Enamy Hogs ....

dmr, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link

ENEMY Hogs

dmr, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:10 (sixteen years ago) link

I was invited to DJ that PS1 and really would've loved to but had to go to a wedding. My first DJ experience in NY was actually a tiny house party for that same person who got married, but after that all my DJ gigs were at the loft on N. 3rd where Kayrock lived and had their silkscreening set-up. There were many a halloween or random party where Oneida would play and I DJ'd trying to get some kind of dance party started. A little later I got involved with Mighty Robot and the Twisted Ones and spent many nights DJing there, often shows involving Oneida and their pals. The Twisted Ones stopped when Fitz moved to Berlin and Mighty Robot closed down shortly after, so this 10th anniversary show at PS1 with Fitz visiting and DJing seemed like it'd be a really special event and it would've been cool to take part. Still, better yet I was DJing an old friend's wedding and couldn't have asked for a better time.

dan selzer, Monday, 3 September 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link

dmr, you need to hear their side of the "Live at the Clubhouse" split 12" with 25 Suaves, too. I'm glad that there is some record of their PCRZ line up. I miss that guy in Oneida sometimes, he was like the physical incarnation of their sound. I haven't seen them with Double Rainbow, yet.
I could make you a tape.

Trip Maker, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:33 (sixteen years ago) link

STOOGES!

The Real Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link

PCRZ! they played the garage in london in 2000 (?) to about 14 people. it was good times. afterwards i got drunk with the band, in that drunken journo fanboy way. we were all hunkered around a tiny table, which i drunkenly managed to pull over myself, twice (2ce). i don't really drink anymore.

anyways, what i remember most of that evening was the heavy amount of classic rock playing on the minibar jukebox, and that with every searing solo that cranked out of the speakers, papa crazy would rise from the table (without knocking it over) and play vigorous and heartfelt air guitar, mane a-flowing. a dude.

This Album Has Been "Rated O"

What can I tell you? Part Two of the Thank Your Parents trilogy is a triple album. I’ve found this information to be confusing to most people and I think the reason for this is a general fatigue for all things Oneida (coming out of my mouth). Now perhaps you’ll think I’m pushing the envelope by daring to suggest that I’m boring you – and I’ll be the first to agree. I’m cutting edge. I know that I’m putting you to sleep and yet I still prattle on about nothing at all!

It’s like the famous review of the Melvins that I’m making up right now, “It was like falling asleep on the barrel of an anti-aircraft gun.” I say this and YET I love the Melvins. Can you keep up?

First: Rated O is Oneida’s next album. It’s a triple album – 3 CDs or 3 LPs – your choice! It is coming out in July and we will be doing a few shows in the US and Europe to celebrate in July and August (of 2009).

Second: We’ve made some recordings of our two “Practice Space” Shows – they sounds sweet and we’re gonna do something with them so you can hear them. No idea when that will happen.

Third: There is an uptick of activity over at Brah Records so you oughta go check that out as well.

We have also just completed a remix of the Constantines’ song “Trans Canada” from their latest joint “Kensington Heights.” I’m not sure where that is and I’m not about to google map it.

I encourage you to contact us with any questions and concerns. . .

I used to work with the wife of one of the guys from Oneida. They actually have a side band together: http://www.myspace.com/nurseandsoldier

fuckin awesome

Oh baby if only you knew I'm down to a hundred-and-two (stevie), Sunday, 7 June 2009 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link

haven't listened to the whole thing yet but the run from "the river" through "ghost in the room" is pretty fucking awesome. not surprised one bit since these guys put on one of the best shows i've ever seen at the last terrastock

kamerad, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link

Can't wait. Favorite band ever, I've seen them ten times.

Trip Maker, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link

Really looking forward to this. The bits I've heard sound potentially album-of-the-year great.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 9 June 2009 17:30 (fourteen years ago) link

two months pass...

Stooges!

The Real Dirty Vicar, Monday, 24 August 2009 15:51 (fourteen years ago) link

don't even know where to start with Rated O, in a good way. i've listened maybe 5-7 times and can't find anything that isn't mind blowing about it

I'M IN MIAMI, TRICK-OR-TREAT (Beatrix Kiddo), Monday, 24 August 2009 15:57 (fourteen years ago) link

I saw them live last saturday, playing a lot of Rated O stuff.

The keyboard player was a bit, er, confused.

The Real Dirty Vicar, Monday, 24 August 2009 16:19 (fourteen years ago) link

But in a good way.
