Where is the LOVE for HARVEY MILK?

Courtesy is a masterpiece,and my fave, but yeah not a place to start someone off at.

I should also add that there is no bad Harvey Milk record. I'm about to listen to the new one and I'm frightfully unprepared.

It's a tad more like older stuff, and those who didn't like life.... seem to like it more, but no doubt elitist tossers wont change their mind.

Compared to these guys, most doom metal is fun-filled fantasy. In the destructive element immerse.

I really cant be bothered with that whole "its our clubhouse we dont want that kind of listener liking our genre of music" which you seem to get in most genres of music now.

"how dare art infiltrate our music"

yeah, courtesy is generally held up as the masterpiece, and that's where i came in (bought a used copy about 10 years ago). while i respect its intensity and invention, i can't call it my favorite. it's just too unrelentingly harsh and despairing.

just notices that harvey milk occur in the metalest section of my tiny lp collection: hammers of misfortune, harvey milk, hawkwind, hellacopters, helloween, high on fire...bracketed by halo of flies and robyn hitchcock.

Speaking of Courtesy, I just found a limited to 1000 CD issue on Reproductive Records and I'm wondering how rare it is. Listening to it currently for the first time.

You answered your own question

Well I know technically 1000, but I didn't know if anyone knew how desired this issue is. I only know so much about the band.

is it the version tUMULt licensed in 2000?

It looks that way, yeah. Digipak.

nice score!

Thanks! I'm enjoying the album so far.

It's great. I should think that cd is worth a lot more than you paid for it.

Yeah. I was happy to learn it seems to be the favorite among many fans.

lately i find myself walking around the workplace whistling the intro to "death goes to the winner"

,e too

This fucking band.

...is no more.

They split(again)?

?

Yeah, looks like it, at least for now:

well shit. though it seems framed more as ambiguous time off than "breaking up"

also this is a terribly written sentence: "Like Melvins, to whom they owe a debt, Harvey Milk stood alone in a style full of sound-alikes."

Has anyone heard this?

Haven't yet, but I am curious.

I am still so mad at myself for sleeping on Harvey Milk for so long, a great band.

I just remembered I own the ANTHEM DVD! I need to watch it again.

oh shit i need to order that

the HM show at the triple rock last year(? maybe 2 years ago?) was easily in my top 5 all time.

also i really envy owners of the anthem dvd

I did not go to the Triple Rock show cuz I had to go to an awful Thurston Moore show with my wife that was so boring we walked out of.

Kill me.

I saw them in Chicago, I'm guessing on that same tour, and it was so awesome.

I'm sad their official page is no longer up because they had the best t-shirts for sale.

Thanks for reminding me to listen to the Music Blues album.

Sounds unsurprisingly like an instrumental Harvey Milk album. Pretty good.

Music Blues is playing on WFMU this afternoon during Brian Turner's show (3-6 p.m.).

It's definitely not as good as Harvey Milk proper, but I like it. The punchline at the end of "The Price is Wrong" is the hardest I've genuinely lol'd at a song in years.

Christmas Eve with our tree smiles saving big for last our secret secret we shared I am Santa Claus. Warm blankets on knees on couch snow and The Simpsons surprised by a my so called life marathon when I think of all of the little moments in my life I have despised I am alive and it’s good to because life is the best game in town and death goes to the winner I am alive and it’s good to be alive

justice for a small turn of human kindness on decade lists

i miss harvey milk
