Pinback: S/D/C/D?

lol @ clickitat ikatowi!!

They don't really sound that much like The Police.

I prefer my Thingy and Heavy Vegetable mix cds to anything Pinback has ever done. But Pinback, Other Men, The Ladies, Optiganally Yours and Goblin Cock have some good songs (specifically the stuff I mentioned first). Other Men is probably the closest Rob Crow stuff to Pinback. I lost interest in Pinback after hearing their last two studio albums.

My favorite Pinback song is Grey Machine - the long song with perfect vocal harmonies and a titillating piano/drum track. I was glad they performed it the one time I saw them live.

I haven't heard Rob Crow leading Advertising, Alpha Males, Altron Tube, Cthugha, Fantasy Mission Force, Holy Smokes, and Remote Action Sequence Project.

or Physics

I think 3x0 might be my favorite track of theirs. It was also the first track I heard.

Because the track names were arranged in alphabetic order

Pinback played in my little town recently.

They sounded like ... Pinback.

<q>OK, Pinback are my faves. Recommendations along that line?</q>

there are definitely Pinback vibes in the music of Oso Oso

DAMMIT

anyway...

listen to Oso Oso

An entirely different set of bands is listed at the festival's website:

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0949/0094/files/Psycho_LV_2020_Website_Lineup_2000x.jpg?v=1576258937

those were all announced previously. the one above is just today's "drop" or whatever.

probably only interesting to metalheads and past attendees (of which i am one) but: this is by far Psycho's biggest pivot away from being a metal festival yet. last year they booked Beach House and a bunch of metal bands. this year, it's this (including the complete visual/branding overhaul).

She’s posting all the time, but the boards ore down, it’s a burned out building. He’s spending all his time on his back, staring at the cieling. They spread themselves that way. I’m with that. I’m with them.

still absolute tunes

Driving today in traffic there was a black lady in a Cadillac with the windows down rocking Summer in Abaddon, super cool

Did a little voice inside your head say, "No one uses the phone anymore"?

The little voice said “hey soul sister”

Kuma's in Chicago has a Goblin Cock burger that looks delish.

New Rob Crow band w/members of Drive like Jehu and Against Me. Digging the first song.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/plosivs-new-band-hit-the-breaks-1222367/

I like that lineup a lot.

love this! though based on that song this band is way more "New John Reis band with members of Pinback and Against Me"

Yeah. I prefer Rob’s melodic side

Really? Still feels very melodic to me (albeit more in a Heavy Veg/Thingy kind of way).

It is melodic

I guess what I mean is less hurried compared to something like “good to sea.” I like a slower groove.
But I get that that’s probably not going to happen much with this project

Zach just put out a nice new single but I think it’s only on shittyfy

https://open.spotify.com/track/2rpYIwPox3lkJBKbj9lEgK?si=JZHTT050RtKwODs26frEYA

did this one-off from 2019 ever get discussed? it's fantastic.

Haven’t discussed it but I’ve heard it, nice one
Btw Zach is still putting out systems officer stuff on BC

wow i love pinback and that one totally missed my radar, will need to listen 100x more

the chorus is one of the few times where i hear rob's love of metal seep into a pinback song
