i guess i just mean that it doesn't floor me. not at all bad, but a bit generic in relation to the five i mentioned earlier.

doesn't sound like him and a good , bombastic departure.

i think it's becoming more clear that this guy is scary good.
how old is he again?

interesting song not don't think it's much of a departure from like "i bought my eyes" tho, & the whole last album harmonies were laid on p thick

Of course he would fuck around

i saw him play last week - his set ended abruptly after a shoving match broke out between him and a security guy after Ty tried shoving him into the mosh pit. it was pretty great.

I still receive digital promos of things from a few PR folks and I weed through them as I can (I will be better about it from now on). While weeding lately I checked out Slaugherhouse and man, was I impressed! I know this guy is prolific and has a ton of projects he lends his sweaty guitar to, and I don't know how deep I will get into his cannon, but this album is so great: fuzz turned all the way up to skronk (sometimes), psych rock done by guys who like metal playing in a garage with egg cartons splattered on the walls and every Pixies record in their album collection.
Found this live clip of my favorite cut from the disc:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx6alYZZGa0
My favorite Sonic Youth moments are "Daydream Nation" and "Goo," when they approximate being an actual pop band. This album fits into that same wheelhouse for me.

I finally got TWINS. It's dope. Slaughterhouse is maybe a little bit better but they're close. Twins is probably catchier and Slaughterhouse rocks harder.
Overall MELTED is still consistently my favorite, I'm trying not to turn into a Ty Segall completist since he has so much shit out but I think I need to go back and get that one on vinyl.
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
It's the only one I own.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 18 March 2013 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
Melted is the only one I still don't have, need to track that down.
― i kant believe it's not buffon (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 18 March 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
dmr otm! Twins is probably the best thing he's done since Melted.
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 18 March 2013 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
so expensive though! Drag City's prices are kind of outrageous nowadays. and no download code. is "Drag City Green Label" supposed to be some premium-quality pressing or something?
(DC not having anything on Spotify does make me buy more of their records overall, I will admit.)
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 17:53 (eleven years ago) link
best thing he did is srill the collabration with White Fence (hair) imo
― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:12 (eleven years ago) link
also, sadly, at this point i don't think he got something new to offer.maybe it's because of the over excessive releases lately
― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
disagree ... it's a lot of records but all three of his 2012 releases hit the spot for me (and all were pretty different from each other)
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
sort of different. all quality tho.

How's the singles collection?
― the late great, Monday, 18 March 2013 20:58 (eleven years ago) link
the singles collection is great, but if you've only heard stuff from Goodbye Bread on, be prepared for a significantly lower-fi experience. i think you could construct a fantastic 45-minute record our of his three major 2012 releases and it would be an all-time classic.
― i kant believe it's not buffon (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 18 March 2013 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
i wouldn't go as far as "all time classic", but it will be great.
― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
i could kill you if you weren't ready for it!

― nostormo, Monday, 18 March 2013 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
lol sorry, "all time classic" as far as Ty's catalog goes.

which tracks would you pick? I like him in theory but can never make it very far through one of his records. Finger is the only song of his that ever really stuck in my head. I think White Fence, Oh Sees, Fresh & Onlys are all a lot better but maybe I just haven't found a way into his catalog.
― wk, Monday, 18 March 2013 22:43 (eleven years ago) link
just off the top of my head:
from slaughterhouse - the tongue, wave goodbye, tell me what's inside your heartfrom hair - i am not a game, time, easy ryderfrom twins - would you be my love, thank god for the sinners, love fuzz, you're the doctor
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 22:58 (eleven years ago) link
the more I think about it Twins is probably the best front to back out of these. it's easier to pick the winners and losers off Slaughterhouse.
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 23:01 (eleven years ago) link
and ... i just saw a new one in the store?!
― the late great, Monday, 18 March 2013 23:02 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I like the Presley songs on Hair. I'll check out those others, thanks.

Pretty sure that's a re-issue of his collab album with Mikal Cronin (which is pre the three everyone's talking about)

So Segall did an all-folk-minimalist-record.
oh well, i'll wait for the Fuzz project.
― nostormo, Wednesday, 14 August 2013 22:35 (ten years ago) link
I'm really digging the album. I hear a lot of Neil Young in this, which is obviously always a good thing imo.
― scubasteve, Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:41 (ten years ago) link
ha yeah, "all-folk-minimalist-record" sounds like a good move to me.
― tylerw, Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:43 (ten years ago) link
it's ok, but not really challenging i think.
maybe it deserves more spinning to decide though
― nostormo, Thursday, 15 August 2013 17:45 (ten years ago) link
yeah, it was pretty nice but gave me a bit of a "I've listened to barrett/bolan and you sir are no barrett/bolan" feeling
― wk, Thursday, 15 August 2013 18:32 (ten years ago) link
The best Segall records are his collaborations. (White Fence, Cronin, Epsilons..)
He should stick to that formula imo
