I have an extra copy of Sunset Notes, will be throwing it up on eBay for a few bucks shortly... anyone want it here instead, for relatively cheap?

I have Lama Rabi Rabi and Snuffbox Immanence....I feel bad about getting out of touch with them.

Stormy do you have the 2nd one, Overloaded Ark? even better imo.

I saw Boris play with Kurihara on guitar and it was pretty incredible, so I got Hypnotic Underworld. I was bored to tears. I'd like to like these guys. What am I supposed to like about these guys?
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
dunno, if hypnotic underworld bored you to tears, then maybe Ghost isn't for you. that's probably the best entry point to the band ...
― tylerw, Sunday, 15 August 2010 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't expect Ghost to be like Boris. You could try Snuffbox Immanence too. Do u like Flower Travelin' Band?
― Henry's Hepcat (admrl), Sunday, 15 August 2010 21:47 (thirteen years ago) link
half of hypnotic underworld is amazing; other half meanders.
yeah, they're nothing like boris.

I have and dig Satori, but I get more of a 13th Floor Elevators vibe from FTB than Ghost. What is Snuffbox Immanence?
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 22:58 (thirteen years ago) link
sleeve, I do not have 'Overloaded Ark' yet ... it is totally on my list!!
Zorn guy .. um, Flower Travelling Band and Ghost are entirely different bands ... what are you , racist?
anyway, you're a very lame troll but yeah 'Snuffbox Immanence' is a Ghost LP. and it fucking rules
oh and for the record, Ghost >>>>>>>>> Boris
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Whooooooooa friend, somebody asked me if I liked FTB and I answered the question. Troll yourself.
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:06 (thirteen years ago) link
ehhhhh , whatever .... Boris is such a joke of a band, really ...
I love my Leningrad Blues Machine, A.N.P., Fushitsusha, Boredoms, White Heaven, and Hanadensha LPs, thank you very much. ... but i have no idea how this mid-tier band "Boris" got levitated to such god-like status in recent years, I mean they are good but by no means worthy of the hype
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
and you are right, I did miss the part where adamrl asked you about FTB, so I apologize about that (altho i still think that is weird.. the two bands sound totally different...)
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:12 (thirteen years ago) link
and FTB don't sound like the elevators!
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Idk I'm not accusing them of ripping them off or anything, I just hear a lot of Satori in Easter Everywhere and vice versa.
― zorn_bond.mp3, Sunday, 15 August 2010 23:56 (thirteen years ago) link
And I'm not gonna defend Boris. You like em or you don't. I do, like, a bunch.
All that fun stuff having been said, I am getting Snuffbox Immanence as we speak.

lol. i figured boris to have a big ilm fanbase (i'm ambivalent about boris, mostly).

― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 00:01 (thirteen years ago) link
And Daniel I don't know that I represent ILM by any means, but if I recall correctly their polls here have been popular affairs.
boris are hit or miss but when they hit they hit hard

ghost are a little more consistent but yeah they're not like boris much
― puerile aretha franklin jokes (crüt), Monday, 16 August 2010 00:02 (thirteen years ago) link

Right I mean I feel like saying that "Boris is consistent" is like saying "restaurants are consistent." There are so many different kinds of Boris that you can't rely on them to do The Thing They Do because there is no Thing. There is just The Stuff.

lol @ fushitsusha fan calling out boris for not living up to the hype
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 August 2010 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link
you are kidding right? ever seen Fushitsusha live? I am guessing not ... Boris are so mediocre , Fushitsusha move mountains
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 16 August 2010 00:55 (thirteen years ago) link
why would i have seen them live? after hearing so much about the legendary haino that i had to investigate, i was treated to albums worth of really dull stoner garage.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 August 2010 00:58 (thirteen years ago) link
boris v. fushitsusha shaping up like godzilla v. megalon.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 16 August 2010 01:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Boris are seriously one of the lamest bands ever. They put their finger to the wind, thought that being Japanese and doing sludge a-la Melvins would be the way to go. dude I bought the fucking Melvins 'Bullhead' LP on Boner when the fucker first came out. so "Boris" decided to tie their wagon to the Japanese hard rock tradition. well, they don't match up. it actually depresses me that folks like Akita work with them. And people like 'call all destroyer' get all defensive about their beloved Boris. Fuck Boris, they fucking suck compared to the great Japanese rock bands
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Fushitsusha live at the Empty Bottle in 1997 was truly a life-changing show ... just unreal....
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:07 (thirteen years ago) link
oh now it's fucking on
― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:09 (thirteen years ago) link

This thread is A+++ hi-larious
― P oco, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Speaking of being a racist, it's cool that Boris thought "being Japanese" would be the way to go, real clever of you to catch that
― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:10 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it is
i mean, the very idea...
the very idea that you can even COMPARE Fushitsusha to a bunch of lamestains like Boris is fucking hilarious
Fushitsusha one of the best entities of all fucking time
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I remember when Wata e-mailed me all like "yoooo we've finally figured it out: we're gonna be JAPANESE!!!"
― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I just don't get why it is necessary to compare bands on account of their nationality. This is like the new Anglophilia.
― P oco, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link
ppl like 'stormy davis' pulling nonsensical i-was-there old dude bullshit. and i never said i 'loved' boris or anything close. but i'm done here.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:12 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, cuz the melvins were so fucking hip in 96. (i was into the melvins then, there was noone less hip then that melvins.)
you must hate Keiji Haino with Boris - Black: Implication Flooding then.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 16 August 2010 01:12 (thirteen years ago) link
hahaha "he was there" when it comes to japanese rock music because he bought a melvins lp one time
― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:13 (thirteen years ago) link
nah, whatever, I've loved all these bands, and followed their careers!! cool if you think I am wrong, that's the point of a message board. fact of the matter, tho -- yeah, Boris SUCK compared to like everybody
