Black Dice

pfftt

the early ‘00s still had some crossover from that time

seeing a show with both the locust and the rapture was an interesting bill

lots of noise people don't know "basic music stuff" or whatever

very true. it's one of the things that make it a kinda folk/populist genre and allows for diversity, as opposed to other "rock"-related genres that have certain educational requirements that serve as barriers to entry

i laughed at the thank you to M1ke S1monett1, who was notorious for not paying bands on his label back in the day

xp exactly

he's quoted in the piece too, talking about how he never thought about or was concerned with whether or not a release would make money

that's the case with a lot of labels tbrr, but most of them don't actively rip off bands and then bully them online when they ask for their contractual share of sales

it's not just bands, some people have said he bought expensive records from them on eBay and then falsely claimed the records never arrived

now that's punk rock

Yeah, he tried to rip me off in a similar way

Repo becomes more of a masterpiece every year

Flaccid Mojo, which is Bjorn Copeland and Aaron Warren from Black Dice, just put out a really good debut album: https://flaccidmojo.bandcamp.com/album/fm
A little like Mod Prog Sic but looser/weirder

This sounds pretty much like a black dice album, enjoying this a lot.

This might be better than the last Black Dice LP, tbh

FM playing SF on Tuesday (support No Age) hmmmm

sounds cool but the j dwyer blurb made me vomit in my mouth
