Ty Segall - C or D?

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.

this album gonna ROCK:

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:

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.

It's the only one I own.

Melted is the only one I still don't have, need to track that down.

dmr otm! Twins is probably the best thing he's done since Melted.

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.)

best thing he did is srill the collabration with White Fence (hair) imo

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

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)

sort of different. all quality tho.

How's the singles collection?

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 wouldn't go as far as "all time classic", but it will be great.

i could kill you if you weren't ready for it!

ah?

lol sorry, "all time classic" as far as Ty's catalog goes.

"lately"

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.

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.

just off the top of my head:

from slaughterhouse - the tongue, wave goodbye, tell me what's inside your heart
from hair - i am not a game, time, easy ryder
from twins - would you be my love, thank god for the sinners, love fuzz, you're the doctor

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.

and ... i just saw a new one in the store?!

Yeah, I like the Presley songs on Hair. I'll check out those others, thanks.

and ... i just saw a new one in the store?!

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

AMAAAAAAZING pink floyd cover on that record

galt you are correct

and predictably it rules

New album out August 20th. This guy is super productive.

chea

So Segall did an all-folk-minimalist-record.

oh well, i'll wait for the Fuzz project.

I'm really digging the album. I hear a lot of Neil Young in this, which is obviously always a good thing imo.

ha yeah, "all-folk-minimalist-record" sounds like a good move to me.

it's ok, but not really challenging i think.

maybe it deserves more spinning to decide though

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

The best Segall records are his collaborations. (White Fence, Cronin, Epsilons..)

He should stick to that formula imo

Pretty stoked on this Fuzz stuff. Really dig all the singles - none of which are on the LP!

And the King Crimson cover is a lot of fun.

I saw FUZZ live on Friday night at the Tufnell Park Dome. They totally killed it. Segall is an animal of a drummer and the riffs are just so huge... I love the singles, but live, stripped of the slightly distant reverb, the tunes are just monstrous. I kind of think they could be huge.

gah, want the fancy-ass version of the FUZZ lp so dang bad. somebody please send one to me for no reason at all.

also hope to make one of the mass shows in a couple weeks.

Fuz is his best effort
Along with the Fence collaboration imo.

i'm not feeling the fuzz so much, miss his squally guitars, but its a good record

Just now getting to the Fuzz album and it's so good. Some sick guitar on there.

so the new one is pretty straightforward psychedlic garage. and it's good.

arrangements are much better than usual.
he/they learned how to play the instruments.

need to go find this...

it's great. buy it. (when its out).

liking a lot of this but the guitar solo passages sort of distract me from everything else. bet it will rip live though!

its his longest album yet, isn't it?

yeah, it's 17 songs, and some push four minutes. it's good but i can't decide if it's too long. i think it might be.
