"Dread" is fucking classic! even if only for "burn your house down". I haven't seen them live and it woun't happen any time soon, i'm depressed :(

― Jrvision (visionjr), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 08:14 (twenty years ago) link

toby,
i was at that hemlock show, very different from the other 4 shows i've seen. the lights were on, dilloway and olson were laughing almost the whole show. very good, i'll look for it on slsk. the dolphins next to me were eeping in delight!

j0hn dwy3r was next to me talking loudly the entire show about (!!!) himself (!!!) imagine that gee whiz.

Dread is a fucking classic album.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 15:51 (twenty years ago) link

Wolf Eyes need to get they fool asses back down to Providence--we haven't seen 'em even remotely nearby since Oops! The Tour.

That said, Mugger rules, Dread rules, Slicer is pretty good, and they eat my fucking face live. Today, on my record shopping binge, I might pick up the split LP with Crack: We Are Rock if they still have it at Armageddon.

(is there a Faxed Head thread?)

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

Wolf Eyes needs to get they punk asses to the UK. Does anyone like their earlier stuff like the s/t cd on Bulb?

JW if you're searching for old hardcore threads to revive then look hard for the one where Aaron Dilloway himself comes and puts the smackdown on some ILM guy it's funny.

― ss, Tuesday, 10 June 2003 16:05 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't cast revive thread, this time.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 16:07 (twenty years ago) link

search: "strangled in filth". runs a wide spectrum. might be my fav....

faxed head thread?

yes. though it really does seem like john olson joining made them the machine they are today.

JW if you're searching for old hardcore threads to revive then look hard for the one where Aaron Dilloway himself comes and puts the smackdown on some ILM guy it's funny.

the one where he criticizes someone for not listening to to live and shave in LA 'correctly'? that wasn't funny, it was sad.

― your null fame (yournullfame), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 23:36 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, shit like that just reminds me of why i tried to get as far away from hardcore as possible when i left college

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 23:42 (twenty years ago) link

shit like that just reminds me of you, jess.

(damn I'm mean today)

― hstencil, Wednesday, 11 June 2003 04:08 (twenty years ago) link

old dog, new tricks, etc.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 04:20 (twenty years ago) link

i saw wolf eyes at a house party in k-town. they just made loud noise.

― chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 04:25 (twenty years ago) link

Has anybody heard the Mugger thing? I saw Aaron Dilloway last night, but didn't have any money to buy any records from him (he was fucking fantastic, btw).

― hstencil, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

i thought it was fucking hilarious

― ssean, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:04 (twenty years ago) link

the show or the record?

― hstencil, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:09 (twenty years ago) link

haha no the thread where aaron dilloway gets all cry-baby about to live and shave. 'mugger' is a monster not to be laughed at!

― ssean, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

uh, okay, I don't remember the thread, but that's cool. TLASILA rules too, btw.

― hstencil, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:17 (twenty years ago) link

when did mugger actually come out btw? i have it on bulb and it says 2003 but i'm not sure if that just refers to the reissue. it was def made before 'dread' right?

― ssean, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

the copy I saw last night said "recorded in March 2003."

― hstencil, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:27 (twenty years ago) link

haha yes the link to the aaron dilloway interjection to TLASILA thread thus:
to live & shave in L.A. what are they up to?
note my weakness and confusion. i was practically homeless roundabout then!
wolf eyes? dead hills ok. dread poo.

― bob snoom, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

YOU ARE COMPLETELY INSANE, MR. BOB SNOOM. Dread is great, just got finished listening to it.

― hstencil, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:47 (twenty years ago) link

oh dear...

― bob snoom, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:50 (twenty years ago) link

DUDE!< /mock indignation>

Seriously, though, I think Dread is great (as do a lot of others here, apparently). What about it do you not like?

― hstencil, Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:54 (twenty years ago) link

well i just slung it on to see - it's not really bas per se it just takes ages of dicking around before the tunes DO anything. to me they are conjuring a "fischerspooner for daytime drinkers" vibe right now

― bob snoom, Sunday, 22 June 2003 18:26 (twenty years ago) link

bas=bad

― bob snoom, Sunday, 22 June 2003 18:27 (twenty years ago) link

'dead hills' is better

― ssean, Sunday, 22 June 2003 18:27 (twenty years ago) link

Dread feels like an LP. Dead Hills feels like an EP.

Dead Hills and Black Dice - Lost Valley came out around the same time and would have made a good split.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:03 (twenty years ago) link

jon williams have you heard 'creature', black dice's new song yet? what do you think?

― ssean, Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:07 (twenty years ago) link

no, I haven't where do I get this? What is it for?

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

i think it's coming out on dfa backed with that eYe remix no? i got it off slsk

― ssean, Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:24 (twenty years ago) link

The EyE mix didn't impress me

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:27 (twenty years ago) link

I've realized my solo noise has fallen into Wolf Eyes cliche:

- Echoy, muddy vocals
- Slow plodding bass drum
- Hearing test blipping

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Monday, 23 June 2003 12:02 (twenty years ago) link

jon, can i get a tape?

― your null fame (yournullfame), Monday, 23 June 2003 12:06 (twenty years ago) link

I think my show on Thursday is going to be recorded, and probably released by IJustLiveHere (They also put out the Snug CDR which is ILXor Ian Johnson's noise stuff.)

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Monday, 23 June 2003 12:18 (twenty years ago) link

oh, that's that japanese karaoke guy's label? rokk on!

― your null fame (yournullfame), Monday, 23 June 2003 13:46 (twenty years ago) link

Did you see them? They're pretty good friends of mine (I drink all their beer).

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Monday, 23 June 2003 13:59 (twenty years ago) link

no, we got the "afterlife experiment" cdr at my station. pretty fucked.

― your null fame (yournullfame), Monday, 23 June 2003 14:58 (twenty years ago) link

haha dude, their whole name is Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment. Their new stuff is a lot better than the CDR, there's vocals used on more stuff.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:12 (twenty years ago) link

well, hell, man, the liner notes look like they were written by a crackhead. (though i did at first think it was JKAE not "AE" by JK, the guy who reviewed it assured everyone it was the latter...)

― your null fame (yournullfame), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:14 (twenty years ago) link

Wolf Eyes absolutely killed at the Movement Festival (formerly the Detroit Electronic Music Festival) in Detroit Memorial Day weekend. They just played at a middle school for gifted children in a wealthy suburb or Detroit, but unfortunately I didn't make the show.

That is all.

― Jeff Sumner (Jeff Sumner), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:18 (twenty years ago) link

I'd be interested to see this review. I haven't see the liner notes because there is at least four different versions of the CDR.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:21 (twenty years ago) link

Jon,

Is anyone gonna release your and Ian's stuff?

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:24 (twenty years ago) link

Ian samples it on his CD. I'm not really happy with the lack of stereo separation on the stuff we recorded with a room mic. A lot of it is boring. I think we might do some stuff with my current solo setup + his current solo setup. Then I'll cut up the earlier tracks. I don't know.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:31 (twenty years ago) link

omg people really will listen to anything

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 23 June 2003 16:27 (twenty years ago) link

people go to your shows right?

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 23 June 2003 16:29 (twenty years ago) link

ouch!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 23 June 2003 16:39 (twenty years ago) link

ouch? that aint shit.

It's like funeral doom played with broken synthesizers and brass and a guitar that just can't

For a noise group they really seem to want everyone to know they're not shitheads, I love it.

two years pass...

related to Wolf Eyes, Dilloway made a playlist of his favorite "weird" Smithsonian Folkways records, and it's really amazing.
