pretty interesting!

classic or dead?

feels like matt sweeney is suddenly all over the place? he was interviewed on har mar superstar's podcast, which was kind of annoying; he's in endless boogie; he's got this new thing on vice's music site where he talks to guitarists about playing guitar, which seems pretty cool so far (here he is with josh homme: http://noisey.vice.com/guitar-moves/josh-homme-1)

Anyone have any idea where to find a video of when they played this song on Fallon in 2011? It was originally a "web only bonus performance" but the video link expired long ago, and I'm not sure why they would have ever had it expire at all...

Some links for their TV performance of "Laugh Track" are still alive, which is great.

nbc sucks about keeping fallon performances around. i've gone looking for other things from a couple years ago and they're nowhere to be found.

chavez dude writes and produces hbo's silicon valley now btw

they use "new room" in one of the episodes too

Wow what.

Guess there's new music coming

Sweeney had also posted a short video of the test pressing playing with audio but I guess he took it down

new song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBWPU_bBT_A

pretty good, not sure about the singing though

is this what clay's been up to instead of writing silicon valley ;)

Vocals, 3 revving engines & a really long drum fill... yup it's a Chavez song!

Sounds great. Very excited about this!

yeah it's growing on me the more i listen to it

Besides being more upfront in the mix, I'm having trouble articulating what is different about his delivery here. Trying a more classic rock thing rather than the 90s vocalist conventions maybe? That probably makes no sense.

Liked that

holy shit!

guess i missed the revive in june but i had no idea this was coming. so psyched.

yeah his singing on the old stuff is more calm deadpan, almost pretty sometimes. here it's more typical rock'n'roll raspy singing. threw me off at first but i'm over it/

it's a bit like his singing on a song like "relaxed fit"

yeah i guess

Diggin' this.

"Tight Around the Jaws" is a kick-ass track.

"cockfighters" -> sounds like chavez

nice 2LP reish: https://store.matadorrecords.com/gone-glimmering-album-shirt-bundle

as someone who has puzzled over chavez riffs for years this is an amazing 20 minutes: https://www.brooklynvegan.com/chavez-teach-sadie-dupuis-their-guitar-riffs-in-new-video-for-gone-glimmering-reissue/

oh sick

yes you will do now

does the vinyl gone glimmering reissue sound like weedy thin garbage to anyone else?

xtra annoying b/c i bought this thinking the extra tracks were unreleased shit but it's just the pentagram ring cd single

how the fuck did i miss this i'm just laughing by myself at how good this is

That’s great... I love that song. I have a CD somewhere by a hardcore-ish band with a good cover of it, but can’t remember their name.

Here we go:
