OTM on Slant 6 - 'Don't You Ever?' is a massively catchy single.
I've already said on other threads Shudder to Think is my favorite band from the 1990s.
The Warmers also deserve some love.

"Red House" on the Dischord comp is rad.

UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 19 January 2007 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

The Warmers 14 songs LP was absolutely amazing. Also, the Circus Lupus dischord release was good. At the same time, even in the 90s, Dischord did release some pretty mediocre bands, eg. Severin, Bluetip, Branch Manager. Everything Shudder to Think did on Dischord is great. The song "Rag" from the first LP is excellent.

I really liked Bluetip at the time

the last q and not u album was fantastic - "power" had all the wonderful bits of the dance-punk fad of the past few years, minus the over production and attitude.

i too also liked black eyes' "cough"... vastly underappreciated album. 2006 was a very slow year for dischord, but i'm looking forward to the aquarium album, as well as more joe lally stuff. i'm still pretty sad that i missed the evens in boston a month or two ago.

Hoping / fearing that they might do a "full catalog at big discount" on bandcamp.

Edward Bax, Monday, 8 August 2016 00:02 (seven years ago) link

We'll see. But I don't think so.

Which I see was long since noted! But Mike Watt sent around a reminder so why not remind?

Always read Inner Ear was a small studio, but everyone liked working with Don there.

Music biz remains permanently grody but please believe all the hype you’ve ever heard about Dischord Records

Royalty payments twice a year like *clockwork* — all on a 22-year-old handshake for me

Watched the Slint documentary the other night and thought then that, by the by, Ian MacKaye seems one of the most truly righteous people alive.

Not that we needed much more evidence but always good to be reminded he's out there.

His most recent band Coriky seems to be on break for now. Ian’s brother Alec has been doing some touring with his band Hammered Hulls .

Speaking of bands in the family tree, did yall see what I posted on Fugazi--Classic or Dud?

Tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis's Eye of I, my most played album of current days, ends with this track feat. The Mezzthetics, who are Lally and Canty and guitarist Anthony Pirog---goes pretty well with the other tracks---then the guitar comes in:

They also have a couple of albums, and show dates, on Bandcamp,

Light Beams - C/D?

Eh , they’re ok. I like that they are trying to make their postpunk fresh, but nonetheless doesn’t always wow me

curmudgeon, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 21:37 (four weeks ago) link

Yeah I was fine with their records but their live show was really great!

citation needed (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 27 March 2024 14:53 (three weeks ago) link

That's true
