Oneida -- You'e having a laugh

I think some of their tunes sound not unlike spastik early Sebadoh (esp. some of Gaffneys strange tunes), with a better production. Mind you, I doubt this is a comparison that they would want to have levied upon them.

I'm heading to Bloomington on a CD binge/purge in a few days and probably will search out another Oneida album.

that guy complaining in the onion article is a total ILXOR. ha ha.

Newsonic is a pretty odd space. I think it's a Wesleyan thing. Don't know the people, but they used to have lots of art-music type events. But also heavy on the Shy Child/El Guapo axis. I remember low ceilings and carpeting and lots of Jews outside. Lots of Jews inside as well, but considerably less observant.

By the way, I could use both of those recipes.

I like the suitable derailment of this thread.

To bring it back around, Fat Bobby loves pie.

Really, though, it's too bad that the EP didn't get the Version City treatment, I obsess over the beauty of the Each One LP.

It's true, actually -- the record won't be released till the beginning of May, I think, but all the strings have been recorded. The record will be finished by the end of this weekend. I hope it works out, too. You guys are very nice.

I wish the EP was on vinyl, too -- but it was not in the plans for Ace Fu, the label that put it out. The Wedding will definitely be on (gatefold) vinyl.

COME BACK ONEIDA! PITTSBURGH NEEDS YOU!!
(and luvs ya!)

keep wearin that steeler gear, bobby! you may have turned the tide...

well, to me, maybe.
jane said they were sorta pissed about it, but the d00d who made said flick was really cool fella, so they just chalked it up to 'Oneida luck' and to the shelf to went. to await usage at some later date. i think on the site they make mention of using it for some zombie flick they may or may not do...
take it with a grain, i s'pose.

!

One of the best drummers around, obviously. Feeling for the guy and wishing him a full recovery.

tfw you make a possibly ill-considered joke on Oneida's twitter about this and they finally hit 'like'

"shepherd's axe" is sharp, music for (millions in) hospitals

there is a gofundme thing for kid millions here:

the charnel ground record that just came out (kid millions + james mcnew + chris brokaw) is a total blast.

The annals of Jagjaguwar have most unfortunately left a lot of cherished albums and projects from our catalogue long out of print on wax. Others are in need of a first-ever, proper vinyl pressing. The Jagjaguwar Reissue Series seeks to right these wrongs. The cornerstone alumni and albums upon which the House of Jag today stands can now reach new hearts and minds wherever turntables keep turning.

Awesome

Whooooooa. Tempted to get a backup copy...

New Kid Millions record, released under Colpitts, is really good.

Previously, Oneida pushed further into abstract sounds, recording compositions that couldn’t have been more different than the hammering anthems of their past. They return with 'Success', their most guitar-centric, rock album in decades.

Pretty Velvets...

Digging all three songs out so far, "Rotten" dropped yesterday:

Guessing there must be some long jams yet to be unleashed on the new one, 3 of the 7 songs have been released and they only total about 12 minutes.

"Paralyzed" is almost 11 minutes and there are two others at more than seven. The record is really on it, a total surprise for AOTY that no one will realize until all the ballots are in.

Just got my copy today, can't wait to dig in!

Sadly, just saw that Kid Millions got COVID and their remaining tour dates are canceled.

Spinning this again today, this really is great. Might even be my favorite since Rated O.

Looking forward to listening to it for the first time soon.

I wasn’t mad on the singles, but it all works much better in context. Digging this, though I do wonder if their 00’s output isn’t everything I’ll ever need from them.

Sane for me. I am always glad they are doing stuff, and find things to enjoy alright about the more recent albums, but they don't work for me like the first run of albums with the original lineup (and the albums post-Papa C that were trio records).

Say, want to hear John Colpitts's old mid-90s band? Sure ya do.

gosh it totally slipped my mind they were playing a bandshell concert in queens this past saturday with 75 dollar bill. kicking myself.

Still loving the new one, it's so great.

Mildly annoyed by Secretly Canadian with their distribution, ordered the Steel Rod EP and Happy New Year from them back in August, the two main holes in my Oneida collection and hadn't had any luck stumbling across copies in the wild. Every time I check back in I get a response about the items being "delayed coming from the warehouse", which fine, but creeping up on three months for older catalog titles they insist they have in stock seems like a long time. Mostly just annoyed that since I placed the order I've, naturally, came across a copy of each that I didn't buy because they were supposedly on the way.

Anyway, venting over, back to Success!

This is the greatest band, just such a killer catalog through and through.

I wish they would just release an album called You’e Having A Laugh already.
