Am I the only person who confused "Who Let the Dogs Out" with DMX at first?

― dean? (deangulberry), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 21:33 (nineteen years ago) link

i haven't heard anything new by them since the "hello hawk" cd single. (i don't think i heard the parent album attached to that either.) (or maybe even the one before it.)

the guitar break in "Hey Bulldog" is so fucking amazing

i've been looking for a french-language freakbeat version of hey, bulldog forever. i know it exists, bcz i saw/heard it once. anyone have any ideas?

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 18 September 2004 14:52 (nineteen years ago) link

hello hawk is one of my favorite songs on that superchunk album, which is, incidentally, the only one i own.

Amateurist, can you remember off the top of your head your favorite songs on every album you've ever liked?? If so, I am truly in awe of you. Some people are really good at that; I usually forget what lots of the songs are even *called.* Sometimes I even circle the tracks on my CDs and albums so I will remember, in case I need to know sometime.

The thing is, when I think of the zillion records I HAVE sold and traded over the years, It's hard to remember what the hell they all were. I had a store in Philly once and I sold about a 1000 of my own records there and all I can remember selling are my Crass singles and some Orb albums! If I really thought about it i could remember more probably, but still...

aww, so sad. even my Merry Crassmas single. It's true though. I traded in a couple hundred cds about 6 months ago and I already can't remember what they were. Except the Animal Collective!! I do remember getting rid of that one.

the screaming trees put an ep out on sub pop during the Tad era and they outweight the Tad band by a good quarter ton.

"Submission" is great! Most danceable throb on the album, total proto-PiL/post-Skynyrd ("The Needle and the Spoon," ha!) dirge (better than "You're Crazy" or "Anything Goes" for sure).
I forget what "New York City" even sounds like, though!

don't love it, but i think it's not bad -- especially the song about how the dolphins make him cry, and that quotes "idiot wind" or whatever that dylan song about killing a man in italy and inheriting a million bucks was. also the song that sounds like "letter b" off of *sesame street* is okay. i haven't played it in a couple years, so i kinda forget the rest. but he's a pretty good singer, in the dobie gray tradition. (best defense of the band ever, and gutsiest, was by i believe daniel smith - a lead review in *vibe*, i think!! she basically argued that they were a soul band, which kinda makes sense.)

(and yeah, i meant *cracked rearview.* i suppose they might have some earlier indie albums maybe, right? i never heard those. *cracked reareview* has a pretty funny title, too, come to think of it.)

Anthony is totally right about "soothing." It's my new age record of the year, I think - which is saying a lot, because this was a really good year for gothic scandinavian metal, among other muzaks. (Wolf Eyes are better than most such stuff thanx to lots of cute little clanks and clunks, which I swear come off like hooks to me. Though it's not like I can remember many of them when the CD's not on.)

But there is always a slew of great ambient Norse metal out there. Don't you guys like Green Carnation? And most great black metal is totally waves of noise ambient goodness, you know?

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 11 November 2004 02:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know much about black metal, unfortunately. There was a point in my life where I liked Emperor, Mayhem, some Burzum and like.. Dimmu Borgir. Maybe approaching it now, I'd see it differently. At that point (early high school) it didn't have the melody i found and enjoyed in punk. i haven't really ever looked back at black metal. i should. i ought to re-read those threads where siegbran makes big lists.
