Fucked Up - David Comes To Life

I swear that the track "A Slanted Tone" is the hidden track on Husker's Zen Arcade. And it is a gem.

this is one of those recs where my favorite song is gonna change like 10 times. right now it's "running on nothing" for the 12-string guitar and the fact that it's straight up arena rock.

That's exactly what's happening for me. I still can't make it through the whole thing start to finish, but am also having trouble paying attention to any other albums (which all seem kind of pasty in comparison...)

one of the major moments for me the last few times i've played this has been the outro on "remember my name" followed by the twenty-five or so seconds of acoustic respite before getting back into things

holy wow at this album.

Loving the "David's Town" compilation.

I just got my copy of David's Town (prices on eBay seem to have dropped pretty quickly) and was mildly disappointed that the packaging didn't go a little farther with the idea. Like I really wanted to be completely convinced that it was an artifact. And an insert would have been nice. Like maybe a fake "join our mailing list" for some non-existant label, etc. So much for that cheap thrill.

At the moment it's reminding me of any number of 90's indie comps that I don't remember anymore (not that there was anything wrong with them). And that's really not putting it down. You can kind of see how the need to contend w/Pink Eyes' voice is what brings out the best of this band, though, and it makes me wonder how future stuff without him might fare...

...words of doomy portent

"F-word Up" love u Greg Kot

This is still so great.

hahaha kot

saw them perform this whole album live, last night @ LPR. having never heard it before that, i bought it on vinyl after the show and... it's not quite as amazing as it was live.

Um, give it another day....

you're probably right. i think my ears are still a bit fucked.

i's better in small doses

Yup!

1.5 listens through “Dose Your Dreams” and I think it’s pretty great in that they went even more out-there-Fucked-Up. This made me want to hear their next album be like Killing Joke but fronted by Damian.
