At The Drive-in

I was expecting castoffs from the album sessions but these are actually great?

yeah, they're great. better than anything on the album

i don't agree with that entirely but these songs really push their sound forward

"tilting at the univendor" is still the best nu-atdi track

this makes me want to revisit the record, if nothing else this EP is very encouraging in that it shows them moving forward as you said, in that sense it reminds me of Vaya, which can only be a good thing

Alpha Centauri
Chanbara
Heliotrope
Lopsided

hell yeah

One of Jarvis Cocker's choices from the Later archives the other week (tho I still think One Armed Scissor is the more exciting clip)

pretty much the peak of sounding like absolute ass yet being the most captivating live rock band in history

relationship of command is outstanding!!

not entirely confident omar was in tune for that one

assuming some overlap from the emo thread but a lot of us dig Youth Novel on here. just found this cover recently

One of my all time favorite concerts was seeing these guys open for The Get Up Kids in the student union at University of Illinois in 1999. I was there to see GUK (in my defense it was the '90s still) and I hadn't heard a note from these guys, but they absolutely killed despite playing for probably 75 people in an awkward interior courtyard space.

jim ward released a new solo album today btw. haven’t heard it

and while I'm here. Relationship of Command is one of the greatest albums ever made by anybody and it changed my life for the better but these days In/Casino/Out seems to be the only album I want to listen to by them. that and some of the Relationship b-sides that weren't on my cd version

if in/casino/out had slightly better production it would be their best in my mind no question. i say this knowing ppl hate the production of relationship of command, i personally love that it hurts my freakin ears

"blink twice" is pretty good... he should make a sparta album in this exact mode

i'm relistening to wiretap scars... forgot this excellent-sounding (if a little hotly mastered) record was recorded by jerry finn. makes deloused sound even more like a mountain of ass
